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.

CAI and phData Forge Strategic Partnership to Accelerate AI-Driven Operational Readiness in Life Sciences

Indianapolis, IN – September 2, 2025 — CAI, a global professional services firm renowned for Operational Readiness and Operational Excellence, today announced a strategic partnership with phData, a leader in data engineering and AI/ML solutions. Together, the companies will deliver intelligent, scalable technologies that help pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers speed facility readiness, minimize operational delays, and maintain unwavering regulatory compliance.

By uniting CAI’s decades-deep expertise in commissioning, qualification, and quality with phData’s advanced capabilities in data architecture, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, the partnership equips life-science organizations to:

  • Unlock data-driven insights through AI-powered analytics, digital twins, and intelligent automation.

  • Shrink time-to-market by streamlining validation and startup activities.

  • Reduce risk and cost by automating labor-intensive compliance tasks.

  • Improve patient outcomes via faster, more reliable delivery of safe, effective therapies.

A recent joint initiative illustrates the impact: CAI and phData developed an AI-enhanced methodology that compares up to 100,000 pages of documentation against thousands of Good Practice (GxP) requirements in minutes. The solution—powered by proprietary large-language-model (LLM) natural-language processing and a human-in-the-loop workflow—cuts thousands of labor hours from traditional manual gap analyses while instantly surfacing compliance concerns for expert review.

“Our partnership with phData is accelerating how life sciences organizations achieve operational readiness in an increasingly complex, data-driven world,” said Jackie Karceski, Chief Technology Officer at CAI. “By embedding AI into compliance and quality workflows, we’re enabling our clients to move faster, reduce risk, and maintain the highest regulatory standards—while freeing expert teams to focus on what matters most: patient outcomes and innovation.”

“Partnering with CAI allows us to bring together deep business intelligence and industry-specific insight to solve some of the most complex challenges in Life Sciences. By combining phData’s strengths in AI, machine learning, and data engineering with CAI’s operational excellence and regulatory knowledge, we will enable our clients to accelerate innovation, ensure compliance, and ultimately improve patient outcomes,” said Dominick Rocco, Vice President of AI/ML at phData.

The collaboration embodies CAI’s 2025 brand promise—delivering accelerated readiness and operational excellence—and sets a new benchmark for digital transformation in regulated environments.
