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.

Aramark Hospital Workers Ignored Dying Man for over 15 Hours, Suit Says

Wrongful‐Death Lawsuit from Friedman Schuman Layser PC Alleges Systemic Neglect by Aramark Employees in Chinese Hospital

PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 06, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A federal wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Friedman Schuman Layser PC attorneys Brett J. Kaminsky and Katherine Lekh alleges that Philadelphia-based Aramark employees ignored 37-year-old U.S. citizen Zachary Graff for more than 15 hours during a medical emergency in a hospital in China, leading to his tragic and preventable death.

"This case is about systemic neglect that starts at Aramark's headquarters, right here in Philadelphia," said Brett J. Kaminsky of Friedman Schuman Layser PC. "Aramark failed to ensure adequate staffing, training and oversight, and those failures cost a young man his life."

The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, claims that at least 10 Aramark employees saw Graff in clear medical distress on May 7, 2023. The filing states that staff cleaned around him, walked past him, talked to him while unresponsive, and ultimately locked him on the fourth floor of the hospital overnight. Despite multiple Aramark employees coming into contact with Zachary during this 15-hour time period, not one alerted medical personnel to check on him.

According to the suit, Graff visited a clinic inside Gulou Hospital, a facility that contracted with Philadelphia-based Aramark to provide cleaning and security services in Nanjing, to fill a prescription for chronic knee pain. After taking the medication around 10:30 a.m., he began staggering as he walked through the facility and sat in a chair near an escalator on the hospital's fourth floor, where he remained unresponsive and breathing abnormally for hours.

Fifteen hours worth of security footage reviewed by the family shows Aramark employees walking past Graff repeatedly, cleaning around him and attempting to engage him; one security guard told him to "stop sleeping" on three occasions, while another Aramark employee picked up his phone charger that had fallen to the floor, according to the complaint. The filing alleges the floor was later locked and the lights turned off with Graff still inside. When his wife arrived around 11 p.m., she had been unable to reach Zachary for hours. Aramark security initially refused her entry, and only granted access after she involved the police and they reviewed the surveillance video. She found him at about 2:15 a.m. unconscious and barely alive. Only after pleading with the Aramark security guards did they call for medical assistance. At 2:28 a.m., medical assistance arrived but were unable to resuscitate Zachary. He was pronounced dead at 2:48 a.m.

The lawsuit names Philadelphia-based Aramark Corporation and multiple subsidiaries. The complaint alleges negligent hiring, training, supervision and retention by Philadelphia-based Aramark and seeks compensatory damages and a jury trial. Baehmann initially sued in Pennsylvania state court; Aramark removed the case to federal court on May 29, 2025. The estate is represented by Kaminsky and Lekh.

The case is Baehmann v. Aramark Corp. et al., No. 2:25-cv-02758, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. To learn more about this case, continue reading here.
