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.

Spondylitis Association of America Launches "See the Signs. Stop the Delay." National Awareness Campaign to Reduce Misdiagnosis and Delays in Spondyloarthritis Care

Missing the signs of spondyloarthritis delays diagnosis and treatment.

ENCINO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 17, 2025 / The Spondylitis Association of America (SAA), the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people living with spondyloarthritis and its related diseases, announced today the launch of its national awareness campaign, "See the Signs. Stop the Delay." The campaign aims to shine a spotlight on the lengthy delays that, unfortunately, many Americans still face in receiving an accurate diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Nearly 1 in 100 Americans live with this chronic inflammatory disease, which primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints.See the Signs. Stop the Delay.

On average, people living with AS wait seven to ten years from the onset of symptoms to receive a proper diagnosis. AS often begins with chronic back pain and stiffness, but because symptoms can mimic other conditions-including mechanical back pain, fibromyalgia, and degenerative disc disease, it is frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed.

Complex symptoms can vary widely across patients and can be subtle in early stages. Limited awareness among many primary care providers and other specialists, such as ophthalmologists and chiropractors unfamiliar with AS diagnostic criteria, often results in patients not receiving referrals to a rheumatologist. Sometimes limitations within imaging, such as a lack of structural damage not showing up on X-rays for years, require advanced imaging like an MRI. Lastly, gender disparities still exist. Historically considered a "man's disease," women are more likely to experience delays in diagnosis or even missed diagnosis altogether.

Delayed diagnosis can lead to worsening pain, decreased mobility, increased mental health challenges, and, in some cases, permanent spinal fusion.

"Too many people live in pain for years without answers," said SAA CEO Cassie Shafer. "Closing the diagnosis gap creates a better future for those living with AS - a future that is not defined by chronic pain."

Through the "See the Signs. Stop the Delay." awareness campaign, SAA will provide educational resources people need to recognize potential signs of inflammatory back pain and advocate for their health. It will also arm frontline healthcare providers with the tools they need to recognize symptoms earlier and provide referrals to rheumatologists, ensuring that everyone is aware and informed about the issue of delayed AS diagnosis.
