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 Valkit.ai Form Strategic Partnership to Advance Gen2 AI-Augmented Validation (DVT) in Life Sciences

Indianapolis, IN – September 29, 2025 — 8:00 AM Eastern Time - CAI, a global leader in operational readiness and excellence for life sciences and mission critical facilities, today announced a strategic partnership with Valkit.ai, a fast-growing innovator in AI-augmented digital validation. Together, the companies will deliver intelligent, tech-enabled solutions that transform compliance and validation processes across highly regulated environments.

The partnership unites CAI’s elite expertise in commissioning, qualification, and regulatory consulting with the Valkit.ai Gen2 intelligent validation platform designed specifically for GxP environments. This collaboration empowers life sciences organizations to accelerate time-to-market, reduce compliance risk, and increase operational efficiency by embedding AI directly into critical validation workflows such as Commissioning & Qualification (C&Q), Computer System Validation (CSV), and Computer Software Assurance (CSA).

“This partnership marks a pivotal moment in how we support our clients in regulated industries,” said Sheena Dempsey, CEO of CAI. “By aligning with Valkit.ai, we’re expanding our digital enablement toolkit with purpose-built, AI-powered solutions that automate complexity and drive smarter, faster validation. It’s a natural extension of our mission to deliver accelerated readiness and operational excellence at the highest standard.”

Valkit.ai’s platform leverages AI to contextualize requirements, automate document generation, and intelligently manage validation lifecycles. With built-in audit readiness and traceability, the solution enhances compliance integrity while reducing manual effort—allowing CAI clients to focus more on quality and less on paperwork.

“We built Valkit.ai to meet the very real needs of life sciences teams burdened by outdated, resource-heavy validation processes,” said Hugh, Devine, CEO of Valkit.ai. “Partnering with CAI amplifies our ability to deliver meaningful impact at scale—empowering manufacturers to stay compliant, nimble, and future-ready.”

This collaboration directly supports CAI’s strategic focus on digital enablement, which emphasizes the integration of emerging technologies such as large language models, digital twins, and intelligent validation platforms to transform operations and compliance in regulated industries.

 

Partnership Highlights:

  • AI-Augmented Validation: Use of agentic and contextual AI to streamline C&Q, CSV, and CSA
  • Accelerated Compliance: Faster validation timelines with improved traceability and reduced manual burden
  • Audit Readiness by Design: Proactive, real-time insights to reduce risk and deviation
  • Seamless Integration: Scalable, cloud-based solution built for modern pharmaceutical and biotech workflows
