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:

PITTSBURGH, June 7, 2022 /3BL Media/ - – UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation are celebrating the opening of their Edible Garden and Mindfulness Path, thanks to a $78,375 donation by Green Mountain Energy Sun Club. The garden and path are located on the hospital’s third-floor terrace, which is the largest outdoor pedestrian space at the hospital.

The newly revamped outdoor area features a painted “Mindfulness Path,” thoughtfully designed as an enclosed walking route. The path features kid-friendly designs and games such as hop-scotch. Along the path are metal planters and a living wall of house plants, herbs, berries, grasses, and other living materials. These will be harvested and used in dishes served in the UPMC Children’s cafeteria, a Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurant (Silver) facility.

“We thank Green Mountain Energy Sun Club for its generosity in helping us build the Edible Garden and Mindfulness Path,” said Rachel Petrucelli, president of UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation. “This beautiful outdoor space provides a welcoming patio for hospital patients, visitors, and staff to rest, recharge and enjoy a safe and inviting outdoor area. We are grateful that Green Mountain Energy Sun Club has invested in helping us create a relaxing and peaceful space that is a great asset to the hospital in many ways.”

The edible garden will provide teaching and experiential learning opportunities for patients. In collaboration with the Sustainability/Green Team, Healthy Eating Advisory Studio (Heat) and Dream Big Studio, patients can help harvest fruits, vegetables, and herbs from the garden to use as fresh ingredients while learning about healthy eating and creating their own TV and radio shows to share with other children in Dream Big Studio.

“Green Mountain Energy Sun Club is honored to be part of this innovative project with UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation to promote sustainability and education,” said Mark Parsons, vice president and general manager of Green Mountain Energy. “The addition of the Edible Garden and Mindfulness Path provides access to safe and sustainable spaces to practice improving personal health and the health of our planet.”

The entire project was built sustainably, featuring vermiculture composting, drip irrigation, solar-powered automatic irrigation systems and lighting, a Big Belly solar-powered recycling station and seating elements. UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is designed as a “green” campus, and two buildings have received LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. The hospital has received a “Certified” rating, and the John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center earned a “Silver” rating.
