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 Shares AI Commerce Is Here

The AI SEO agency for Shopify websites comments on the latest AI ecommerce features. Brands must now prioritize AI SEO or risk being invisible to AI agents, product recommendation engines, and conversational commerce.

(PRUnderground) May 15th, 2025

As OpenAI introduces AI-powered product search, image-supported comparisons, and review-driven recommendations into ChatGPT, and Visa and Mastercard simultaneously unveil tools enabling AI agents to make real purchases, Optimized Artificial Intelligence highlights the reality for ecommerce brands: the AI buying era is already here.

Visa’s Intelligent Commerce platform enables AI assistants to use tokenized credentials and user-set preferences to find and buy products directly, while Mastercard’s Agent Pay embeds payments within AI interactions. These innovations come on the heels of ChatGPT’s shopping upgrades, which deliver product recommendations with visuals, pricing insights, and sentiment analysis — all powered by organic, structured metadata, not paid placement.

“With Visa launching Intelligent Commerce and OpenAI rolling out shopping capabilities in ChatGPT Search, the AI buying journey is no longer about the future. It’s live,” said Damon Burton, Founder of Optimized Artificial Intelligence. “This is no longer about ranking in a browser. It’s about being the product AI selects in a chat interface. For Shopify store owners, this means your product pages, schema, and review data are the new frontline. If you’re not using LLM SEO optimization, you’re not just invisible: you’re excluded from the AI conversation entirely.”

Consumers are turning to LLM-powered tools for critical product discovery moments instead of traditional search engines. Shoppers now use tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and soon even WhatsApp and voice agents, to discover, compare, and purchase without visiting traditional websites.

“Users aren’t searching and scrolling anymore. They’re asking and buying,” added Burton. “Visa and Mastercard just confirmed what’s coming next: AI agents won’t just suggest products. They’ll complete the purchase.”

As AI-native commerce grows, Shopify brands must ensure their storefronts are retrievable, understandable, and trustworthy to machines. Perfecting Artificial Intelligence Optimization (AIO) or hiring an ecommerce AI SEO agency is one of the most effective ways to earn brand presence through the following processes:

  • Auditing and expanding structured product data
  • Writing for machine readability and buyer clarity
  • Reinforcing brand and entity trust signals
  • Monitoring AI platform behavior

Optimized Artificial Intelligence is a leading Shopify AI SEO agency helping ecommerce brands optimize for visibility inside AI-powered search, product recommendations, and conversational commerce. Founded by SEO veteran Damon Burton, the company provides strategic AIO services tailored to the unique structure and limitations of ecommerce platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce.
