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.

DESCRIPTION:

Disney, Lucasfilm and Starlight Children’s Foundation® To Distribute ‘Star Wars’-Themed Hospitalwear to Children’s Hospitals Around the Country

May 5, 2022 /3BL Media/ - Celebrating May the Fourth, the latest “Star Wars”-themed Starlight Hospitalwear designs were unveiled on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” by guest host Mike Birbiglia and special guest Ewan McGregor, star of the upcoming series “Obi-Wan Kenobi” on Disney+. Nearly 60,000 hospital gowns and matching pants will be distributed to children’s hospitals through Starlight Children’s Foundation®, featuring a mix of five brand-new and updated gown designs including the Mandalorian with Grogu, Ahsoka Tano, Darth Vader, R2-D2 and Chewbacca, and pants featuring more “Star Wars” characters. The gowns also feature QR codes with access to special "Star Wars" digital content to entertain and inspire kids while hospitalized.

“As a member of the ‘Star Wars’ family, I am thrilled to be a part of the unveiling of this new line of hospitalwear for kids,” said McGregor. “It is incredibly touching to see how children fighting their own battles in the hospital can find fun and maybe a bit of strength from these iconic characters.”

Since 2001, Disney and Starlight have collaborated to deliver happiness to seriously ill children and their families. In addition to deliveries of toys, books, games and more from all of Disney’s brands, Starlight distributes child-friendly hospital gowns to its network of more than 800 children’s hospitals and pediatric places of care in the U.S. The hospitalwear brings fun, comfortable and colorful designs featuring favorite characters from “Star Wars,” Marvel, Pixar, “Frozen,” Mickey & Friends, ESPN and Disney Princesses. Since 2017, Disney has helped provide more than 350,000 hospital gowns that have so far been given to children in more than 300 hospitals through its collaboration with Starlight.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the long-standing partnership with Disney, helping us bring smiles to seriously ill kids in hospitals,” said Adam Garone, CEO of Starlight Children’s Foundation. “Through the collaboration, we can provide our hospital partners with Disney-themed Starlight hospital gowns, toys and other programs free of charge. When hospitalized kids can magically transform into a ‘Star Wars’ character or a Disney Princess by slipping on a Starlight gown, it helps distract them from the stress of medical procedures and conditions.”

Disney VoluntEARS, Lucasfilm, Starlight and Dr. Sameer Bakhda visited George Mark Children’s House in San Leandro, California, on May 4 to distribute “Star Wars” toys and hosted activities with the patients and their families.

Dr. Bakhda, a devoted “Star Wars” fan, was recognized as a Disney Magic Maker for sparking everyday magic through his acts of kindness. He co-founded LiningUp.Net to preserve the tradition of lining up for film releases and to gather true fans to celebrate each new installment of the “Star Wars” franchise while raising money for Starlight.
