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.

New Membership Agreement Between Vizient and the Children’s Hospital Association Expands Services to Include Supply Chain Analytics Solutions

By: via Business Wire

Vizient, Inc. today announced a new membership agreement with the Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) that expands the scope of services and solutions for their participating hospitals. Since 2012, Vizient has provided CHA group purchasing services for supplies and medications, and now pediatric hospitals will be able to use several supply chain analytic tools that can help them achieve their cost savings goals while continuing to deliver the highest quality care to their patients.

CHA is the national voice of more than 220 children’s hospitals, advancing child health through innovation in the quality, cost and delivery of care.

“Vizient has been focused on serving the specialized medical and pharmaceutical supply needs of pediatric health care providers for many years. We have a dedicated team that focuses on sourcing pediatric specific products and custom contracting that aligns with their unique purchasing patterns to help ensure best pricing for these providers,” said Vizient CEO Byron Jobe. “We are committed to pediatric program development and couldn’t be more pleased that the Children’s Hospital Association chose Vizient to continue their journey to achieve greater efficiency and cost performance.”

To date, Vizient has delivered more than $245 million in implementable savings to hospitals that participate in the program. In 2020 alone, CHA’s participating hospitals purchased nearly $3 billion through Vizient’s contracts.

“It’s a privilege to fulfill the supply chain needs of our children’s hospitals,” said Mark Wietecha, CEO of CHA. “As health care continues to evolve, so do the needs of our pediatric providers. We are glad to have Vizient as a partner to help improve pediatric data quality and support our hospitals in providing the best possible care for kids.”

Through the new agreement participating hospitals from CHA will be able to benefit from the Vizient Savings Actualyzer™ — Supplies, which provides access to the industry’s largest repository of market data for health care supplies, customized analytics and benchmarking opportunities. CHA will also begin integrating other analytics solutions into their cost management strategies including aptitude®, for a simplified contracting approach that drives alignment, reduces costs and improves value, and DataLYNX™ for item master data and enhanced visibility into supply spend.

The expanded agreement also includes member support and increased advisory expertise in pediatric pharmacy. In partnership with CHA, Vizient will develop a committed program specific to their membership to drive increased value and reduce complexity.
