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.

ADAP Advocacy Releases Report on Patient Medical Debt





Findings from Quantitative Surveying of Patients in the United States

WASHINGTON, DC, April 23, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ADAP Advocacy today, as part of its 340B Project and in collaboration with the Community Access National Network (CANN), published a report on patient experiences with and perspectives on medical debt. The report – "Patient Medical Debt: Findings from Quantitative Surveying of Patients in the United States – April 2025" – found that nearly four out of five patients delayed or avoided medical care due to inability to pay (excluding the purchase of prescription drugs), and three-fourths of patients held medical debt.

Brandon M. Macsata, CEO of ADAP Advocacy, summarized: "The rising medical debt crisis in the United States is impacting patients across all chronic health conditions, including patients living with HIV. We are concerned that the big hospital systems are reaping the benefits of the 340B Drug Pricing Program, affording them lucrative drug rebates that are supposed to be used to expand access to affordable healthcare services, but not using those dollars as intended by the law. Studies have shown nearly seventy-five percent of medical debt is actually debt owed to hospitals, or hospital debt."

ADAP Advocacy received 673 responses to the Patient Medical Debt Survey. The report's key findings include:

• When asked if they have ever delayed or avoided medical care (excluding the purchase of prescription drugs) due to their inability to pay, 77% of respondents (n=484) indicated that indicated "yes."
• Similarly, 71% (n=442) indicated that they have delayed or avoided purchasing prescription drugs because of their inability to afford associated out-of-pocket costs.
• When asked if they personally held medical debt, 74% of respondents (n=460) indicated they did.
• Those respondents holding medical debt indicated that their debt is largely held by hospitals (39%) and specialty care physicians (22%).
• 66% (n=304) indicated that their medical debt is currently in collections.
• 40% (n=182) indicated that medical debt had impacted their credit scores.
• 70% (n=324) indicated that medical debt impacted their health status.

The report included findings from a quantitative survey of patients in the United States. The report can be downloaded here: https://tinyurl.com/yc635dcz.
