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.

Optimized Artificial Intelligence Announces AI Shopping Is Here

The SEO agency for ChatGPT comments on ChatGPT's Instant Checkout launch: Agentic Commerce is here. Will your brand be seen?

(PRUnderground) October 14th, 2025

The future of e-commerce has arrived inside a chat window. OpenAI has just launched Instant Checkout, a groundbreaking feature that enables users to purchase products directly within ChatGPT, eliminating the need for tabs or redirects, and providing seamless, in-chat transactions.

And Optimized Artificial Intelligence, a leading AI SEO agency for e-commerce sites, says this is the inflection point every e-commerce brand needs to pay attention to: “AI search just became AI shopping, where agentic AI commerce begins,” said Damon Burton, Founder of Optimized Artificial Intelligence. “The moment when discovery, comparison, and checkout all collapse into a single chat interface, and it’s happening in front of 100 million weekly ChatGPT users.”

OpenAI’s new e-commerce rollout, built in partnership with Stripe, enables users to click a “Buy” button after ChatGPT recommends a product. They can view photos, review pricing, and pay all without ever leaving the conversation. The feature currently supports Etsy sellers, with integration for over 1 million Shopify stores on the near horizon.

Most notably, OpenAI open-sourced the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), which enables any Stripe-enabled retailer to integrate with the ecosystem with minimal code. ChatGPT does not run ads or offer paid placement; instead, it ranks products based purely on relevance, authority, and trust.

“You can’t buy your way into this new system,” added Burton. “You have to earn it. If ChatGPT can’t parse your product data or trust your brand, it will skip right over you, no matter how much you spend on ads.”

For e-commerce teams focused on SEO or performance marketing, this isn’t just a new distribution channel; it’s a fundamental rewrite of the digital buyer’s journey.

This isn’t basic SEO. It’s search optimization for ChatGPT,” said Burton. “You’re not just trying to rank. You’re trying to become the product AI recommends when someone types, ‘best noise-canceling headphones under $200.”

With over a million Shopify sellers on deck for integration, Optimized Artificial Intelligence predicts that ChatGPT shopping will experience a surge in usage ahead of Q4 holiday traffic. “The brands that prepare now will dominate Black Friday,” Burton said. “The ones who wait will be wondering why their traffic disappeared.”

Optimized Artificial Intelligence offers tailored LLM visibility strategies to ensure your ecommerce store, product pages, and brand entities are machine-readable, semantically structured, and AI-discoverable inside platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Copilot.

And for non-ecommerce businesses, Burton has a word of caution:

“Local businesses, SaaS tools, lead gen sites, you haven’t escaped this future. This is not just about shopping. It is about AI changing how people discover everything. If you’re not thinking about AI search now, you’re already behind.”
