About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Alphabet Shares up 4% on Report Apple in Talks to Let Google’s Gemini Power iPhone AI Features

Apple is to build ties with the world’s biggest search engine, Google, to harness the power of Gemini in its upcoming iPhone series, aiming to offer innovative AI features.
According to Bloomberg News, Apple opened up regarding its talks with Google about integrating the Gemini AI Engine into its upcoming iPhone lineup. The discussions are about licensing Gemini for new AI features coming to iPhone iOS this year. However, the terms or branding of this collaboration and how AI will be incorporated are yet to be decided.
After this news surfaced, Alphabet shares spiked more than 4% in the US, while Apple shares jumped 2.5%. As per the report, Apple will not announce any news related to the partnership until June. The company also recently talked with OpenAI about using the ChatGPT model.
However, the partnership among the world’s tech giants could empower Google to expand its AI services to more than 2 billion active Apple users, boosting efforts to compete with Microsoft’s AI model (MSFT.O), backed by OpenAI.
Apple has a decade-long partnership with Google that makes it the default search engine on Apple’s web browser, Safari, and a GenAI deal may help the Alphabet unit overcome the fear that AI tools like ChatGPT could threaten its search dominance. However, Apple’s collaboration with Google can expose it to the scrutiny of US regulators, who have sued Google for manipulating the competition by paying billions of dollars to Apple, aiming to retain its search dominance.
“This strategic partnership is a missing piece in Apple’s AI strategy. It combines forces with Google for Gemini to power some of the AI features Apple is bringing to market,” said Daniel Ives, an analyst at Wedbush.
“This is a major win for Google to get onto the Apple ecosystem and have access to the golden installed base of Cupertino with clearly a major license fee attached to this,” he said, referring to Apple’s California headquarters.
In January 2024, Google partnered with Apple’s biggest competitor, Samsung, offering its genAI technology to power the “Galaxy S24 series.” 
Apple plans to reveal more about its plan for genAI during its Worldwide Developers Conference when it will also share news regarding the iPhone update, iOS 18. During its February annual shareholder meeting, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is “investing significantly” in AI. “Later this year, I look forward to sharing with you the ways we will break new ground in generative AI, another technology we believe can redefine the future,” Cook said.
