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.

Avenue Z Continues Award-Winning Momentum With New Honors for Marketing Innovation in AI Search

Recognized across the industry, Avenue Z’s breakthrough work is driving record visibility and brand performance.

 

 

MIAMI, FL – July 14, 2025 – Avenue Z, the tech-driven marketing and communications agency leading AI Optimization, today announced it has received two major honors for its industry-shaping innovation: the 2025 Miami Inno Fire Award and the 2025 Global Recognition Award, further cementing its status as the leader in brand visibility through AI search.

These back-to-back awards recognize the company’s breakthrough in bringing to market a first-of-its-kind AI Optimization solution, driving measurable outcomes for hundreds of clients and reshaping how influence is earned in the generative AI era.

“From day one, our mission has been to lead—not follow—in a new communications era where AI defines how people discover and trust brands,” said Jeffrey Herzog, Founder and CEO of Avenue Z. “Winning multiple awards for the same innovation confirms what we already know: AI search is the new front page, and we’re helping our clients own it.”

The Global Recognition Award honors Avenue Z’s contribution to the future of marketing communications, citing the agency’s AI Visibility Index (AIVx) and proprietary Z-Score methodology as "industry-changing frameworks that redefine how brands are found, cited, and trusted across AI platforms." Judges praised Avenue Z for its “measurable client results, paradigm-shifting innovation, and market-wide impact.”

This builds on the momentum of Avenue Z's Miami Inno Fire Award win from the South Florida Business Journal, which highlights its role in fueling the region’s innovation economy through AI-led marketing results.

“These awards really reflect the velocity we’ve built around a single mission: to decode where influence is going next, and get our clients there first,” said Johnny Hughes, Chief Marketing Officer and Chair of the AI Council at Avenue Z. “We’re not reacting to AI, we’re shaping how brands use it to impact consumer discovery and decision-making.”

In Q2 alone, Avenue Z expanded its Miami headquarters, opened a flagship Creator Studio, rolled out breakthrough AI research, and launched its AI Optimization solution, already generating over 500,000 conversions and $1 billion in eCommerce revenue across clients. 

“Innovation is only as powerful as the outcomes it delivers,” said Whitney Hart, Chief Strategy Officer at Avenue Z. “What sets Avenue Z apart is our ability to bring award-winning ideas to life for our clients, boosting visibility, reputation, and growth across every channel that matters.”

Avenue Z blends strategic communications, high-impact PR, performance media, and content development into an integrated solution. AI optimization is embedded across every discipline - from website development to media relations, strategic communications, and even paid media - ensuring clients have the digital assets needed to show up in traditional and AI search.

"This award is a powerful validation of our strategic approach. We aren’t just placing stories, we are influencing ecosystems,” said Bristol Jones, VP and Managing Director of Avenue Z Miami. “At Avenue Z, we fuse narrative with data to architect visibility, credibility, and momentum across every channel that moves markets."

With multiple awards now recognizing its AI and marketing leadership, Avenue Z is on pace to become the definitive agency for brands navigating the AI era, and the results are proving it.
