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.

Chungbuk Wellness and Medical Tourism Program Launches – Bringing Together Ancient Korean Healing and Modern Medical Science

The historical city of Chungbuk is all set to emerge as a holistic healing hub featuring forest meditation, advanced medical care, and 1,000-year-old hot springs. With the launch of Chungbuk Wellness and Medical Tourism Program, Chungbuk is establishing itself as a leading destination for wellness and medical tourism, offering visitors a unique combination of traditional Korean healing practices, cutting-edge medical care, and natural therapeutic resources.

Here, nature, meditation, spa rituals, herbal tea, and modern medicine come together to create a holistic path to healing. Visitors can meditate in a forest clearing with a wooden log, savor a farm-to-table feast of seasonal greens, soak in mineral-rich hot springs, and receive advanced health checkups, all within one restorative journey.

Once the geographic center of the Silla Kingdom, Chungju has long been known for its pristine forests and therapeutic hot springs. What was once a honeymoon destination famed for sulphur baths has now evolved into a refined wellness hotspot. Today, it draws not only couples but also international travelers seeking holistic healing programs.

At the center is Ongdalseam, where the Log Meditation program helps weary souls find peace. Participants gently roll a wooden log along the body while lying on a yoga mat, releasing tension and restoring balance from head to toe. The site also offers singing bowl meditation, the Happy Family Mind Journey, and soothing herbal teas, all designed to nurture relaxation and emotional harmony.

In nearby Suanbo Hot Spring Village, the Chungju Weedahm Integrated Hospital combines modern medicine with traditional therapies. With a philosophy of “healing life” rather than only curing illness, the hospital blends advanced checkups with therapies such as meridian treatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and aqua massage.

One highlight is Ren and Du Meridian Therapy, which targets two major energy channels in traditional Eastern medicine: the Conception Vessel (front) and Governing Vessel (back), to restore circulation and balance according to Yin-Yang theory. International guests benefit from interpretation and support services, ensuring a comfortable and welcoming experience.

A Wholesome Feast at Slow Farmer

Tucked into the forest near Suanbo Hot Springs, Slow Farmer offers hanjeongsik (traditional Korean table d’hôte) prepared with seasonal wild greens certified by K-Forest Food and slow-boiled pork. Guests can also join hands-on workshops, from making wild garlic pesto to enjoying rustic BBQs under the trees.

“We live in such a fast-paced world that taking time to pause and breathe is vital,” says Seongho Jeong, founder and CEO of Slow Farmer. “Here, guests reconnect with nature: smelling the forest, listening to valley streams, feeling textures beneath their fingertips. The slowness they find becomes a source of peace, healing, and renewed energy.”

The journey concludes with a soak in the Suanbo Hot Springs, Korea’s first naturally occurring hot spring, flowing for over 30,000 years. The water, drawn from 250 meters underground at 53°C with a mild alkalinity of pH 8.3, is famed for its minerals and therapeutic benefits.

Historical records note Suanbo Hot Springs as early as 1018 during King Hyeonjong’s reign, and King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty often visited to ease skin ailments. For centuries, this “King’s Hot Spring” has been a source of rest and renewal.

Chungju Today: A Global Wellness Destination

In recent decades, Chungbuk Province, where Chungju is located, has grown into a hub for both wellness and medical tourism, attracting visitors from China, Mongolia, Russia, and Southeast Asia. The Global Tourism Forum recently ranked South Korea among the world’s Top 5 medical tourism destinations in 2025. Chungju, with its blend of pristine forests, innovative hospitals, and historic hot springs, reflects this achievement.

Whether stressed by city life, seeking a cultural retreat, or longing to exchange concrete for forest air, Chungju offers a Korean path to restoring body and mind. Hot springs bubble, autumn leaves sway, and deep in the woods, a healing memory awaits.
