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.

Vizient Announces Agreement with Sri Trang Gloves to Improve Supply Assurance for Nitrile Gloves

Vizient, Inc. today announced an agreement with Thailand-based Sri Trang Gloves for chemo-rated nitrile exam gloves as part of the Vizient Novaplus® Enhanced Supply program. Sri Trang is one of the world’s leading glove manufacturers and the agreement will bring additional supply assurance for this essential component of personal protective equipment required to safely deliver patient care.

Under the Novaplus Enhanced Supply program, suppliers are required to maintain certain levels of onshore inventory to mitigate supply disruptions and demand surges. The program also increases production transparency and greater demand predictability to drive production and supply resiliency.

As part of the agreement with Sri Trang, Vizient members will be able to commit to a monthly purchasing volume for nitrile gloves at any level and then have a matching 90-day, onshore supply maintained by Sri Trang specifically for that provider organization.

“As a result of the pandemic, Vizient members are looking for new ways to engage with manufacturers and distributors for supply assurance,” said Brent Gee, vice president of contract and program services for Vizient. “This agreement with Sri Trang will further ensure supply of nitrile gloves, which are essential for care delivery, in the event of demand spikes for this product.”

Established in 1987, Sri Trang’s operations span all sectors of the natural rubber industry, from rubber plantations and rubber processing to glove production. Currently, Sri Trang has 10 glove manufacturing facilities on 3 campuses in Thailand which produce 35 billion disposable glove pieces annually with exports to 160+ countries globally.

Sri Trang recently announced their intent to establish production in the U.S. The proposed 100-plus acre campus will serve as a North American hub for Sri Trang comprising a nitrile glove manufacturing facility, distribution center and warehouse, and administrative complex. Potential U.S. production is estimated to reach 2.5 billion nitrile gloves annually after the first full year of production. The facility will support Sri Trang’s existing operation in Tampa, Florida – Sri Trang USA, Inc. – and augment their east coast distribution centers.
