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.

ELECTRIX AI - WSCAD Launches the First AI-Powered Electrical CAD Software - Up to 99% Faster Design

By: PR Leap
(PRLeap.com) [Bergkirchen, Germany, October 2, 2024] In today's fast-paced tech landscape, AI is now redefining electrical engineering design. WSCAD introduces ELECTRIX AI, the world's first AI-powered Electrical CAD solution, eliminating tedious manual steps and completing tasks in mere seconds - slashing design time by up to 99%. With smart error-checking, intuitive guidance, and the power to tackle complex tasks with simple commands, ELECTRIX AI is a game-changer for electrical engineers. Novices boost productivity faster, while seasoned pros free up time for more critical challenges, helping companies meet tight deadlines and bridge the skilled labor gap. "ELECTRIX AI is revolutionizing how electrical design is done," says Axel Zein, CEO of WSCAD GmbH. "We've seen massive time savings, and the streamlined process unlocks major productivity gains."

ELECTRIX AI - Your Ultimate Productivity Booster
At the core of this breakthrough technology is the AI Copilot. With just a click on the button marked by three asterisks, a chat window pops up, ready to assist users in their daily tasks. The AI Copilot reviews designs, find errors, and adapts to the user's needs on the fly. "Instead of manually searching for components or designing from scratch, you just ask the AI Copilot and hand over the tasks," says Axel Zein.

From material lists to macros and components, everything is generated and positioned in record time. When using other electrical CAD software, it can take over 20 clicks to create a BOM (bill of materials). In WSCAD it now happens in seconds with a simple "Create the bill of materials" command. Placing macros? A breeze - AI Copilot takes 15 seconds to place four macros on a new page, down from the traditional five minutes. Need to check your design for errors? Just ask, "Find the errors in this project," and ELECTRIX AI will scan your schematics in seconds, pinpointing open connections, missing assignments, or misplaced components. Even technical inquiries like wire gauges are resolved instantly. A quick request like "Give me a copper wire, blue, 24V DC, 64A" delivers the perfect wire with a 16mm² cross-section right to your cursor.

ELECTRIX AI - The Solution to Time Pressure and Workforce Shortages
Beyond massive time savings, the real game-changer is how easy it is to use. ELECTRIX AI delivers specialized Electrical CAD expertise while continuously learning from user inputs, making it more efficient with each task. Novice users can now tackle jobs that were once for experts, while seasoned designers can focus on complex projects with significantly reduced time investment. "This new division of labor supercharges productivity, enabling companies to handle growing demands more efficiently," says Axel Zein. "By integrating AI into our Electrical CAD software, we unlock new possibilities and pave the way for enhanced productivity."
