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:

Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) recently released its 2021 Performance Report describing the company’s work to transform lives through innovative medical solutions that improve the health of patients while advancing environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities.

“At Boston Scientific, we have always been dedicated to advancing science for life,” said Mike Mahoney, chairman and chief executive officer, Boston Scientific. “Now more than ever, we are united by our mission and values to create a healthier, brighter future for one another and for our planet.”

In 2021, Boston Scientific invested more than $1 billion in research and development, introduced 90 new products and received approximately 1,250 market approvals for health care innovations. The company’s products developed by its 41,000 employees helped save and improve the lives of more than 30 million patients around the world. A commitment to sustainable and inclusive business practices is central to the company’s work.

2021 Performance Report highlights
Boston Scientific measures ESG progress across five areas of focus: transforming care, investing in people, accelerating possibilities, protecting the environment and creating value responsibly. Here are some examples of how the company is making an impact:

  • Deepened diversity programs to help eliminate bias, racism and other forms of discrimination in the company’s workplace as part of its 3Up by 2023 initiative, which aims to increase representation of women and multicultural talent at the management level.
  • Achieved 99%+ pay equity across gender globally and for multicultural talent in the United States and Puerto Rico.
  • Committed to setting new science-based targets and reaching net-zero carbon emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) across the entire Boston Scientific value chain by 2050.
  • Remained on track to achieve carbon neutrality (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030 in all manufacturing and key distribution sites.
  • Introduced a human capital scorecard as part of the company’s 2021 annual bonus program to drive accountability for a more diverse and inclusive workplace and continued progress toward environmental goals.
  • Expanded relationships with certified companies that share the company’s dedication to improving customer and patient care, which included investing more than $865 million in small and diverse suppliers to help meet business objectives through external collaborations.
  • Extended advocacy across 28 national and local organizations as part of the second year of the company’s $3.5 million multiyear strategy to combat inequity, systemic racism and injustice in the United States.
  • Increased diversity in medical research and partnered with community health care providers to expand awareness of health disparities and address them through the Boston Scientific Close the Gap health equity initiative.
  • Contributed more than $75 million in corporate donations to fund medical research, fellowships, education and charitable organizations globally.

The Boston Scientific 2021 Performance Report was developed in reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards for the Medical Equipment & Supplies industry.
