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.

Comprehensive Hearing Assessments Urged Over Retail Screenings: Experts Warn Incomplete Testing Can Delay Proper Hearing Health Care

Forestville, NSW - As hearing loss continues to affect millions of Australians, one local audiologist is warning that the widely advertised “free hearing tests” offered in retail settings and shopping centres may not be doing enough to properly assess hearing health or prepare patients for hearing aid fittings.

Dr. Signe Steers, Doctor of Audiology and founder of The Audiology Place in Forestville, says consumers are being short-changed by quick hearing screenings offered by retail hearing aid chains—tests that are often limited in scope, accuracy, and usefulness.

By contrast, a comprehensive hearing assessment, conducted in a soundproof environment by an independent audiologist, can uncover a full range of hearing and auditory processing issues.

It includes:

-High-frequency testing (necessary for early-stage hearing loss)

-Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) to assess inner ear function

-Speech-in-noise assessments that mimic real-world hearing challenges

-Middle ear function testing (tympanometry)

-Cognitive and auditory processing screening, where appropriate

-Tinnitus evaluation and management strategies

-Review of contributing issues, such as TMJ dysfunction or misophonia

These evaluations typically take 60 to 90 minutes and are customised to each patient’s symptoms, lifestyle, and medical background.

“You cannot and should not fit a hearing aid based on a 10-minute screening,” says Dr. Steers. “A proper fitting requires a precise understanding of the patient’s hearing thresholds across a full frequency range, speech understanding ability, and real-ear measurements. Anything less is guesswork—and it risks delivering a poor experience with hearing aids.”

The Audiology Place also stresses that independent audiology clinics, unlike most retail hearing aid stores, are not owned by hearing aid manufacturers. This independence means patients are offered a full range of devices from all major brands, selected based on their individual needs, not corporate contracts.
