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 Recognizes Members for Supply Chain Savings

By: via Business Wire

Vizient, Inc. announces the recognitions of 294 member health care organizations for demonstrating excellence in lowering supply chain costs. Through the Impact Standardization Program, these hospitals streamlined their purchasing practices in designated product categories, earning rebates and in many cases attaining lower pricing from manufacturers. The list of recognized members may be viewed here.

Since the Impact program’s inception in 1996, Vizient has delivered over $2.36 billion in rebate value to the hospitals it serves. One hundred percent of these rebates pass directly from the suppliers to participating hospitals. In 2020 alone, participants received $187 million in total cash rebates.

"Vizient members who participate in our Impact Standardization Program achieve even greater savings through improved procurement processes that the program facilitates," said Ashur Novick, senior director, program services. "The rewards are significant—ongoing cash rebates, reduction in product variation and optimal category pricing. There is no reason not to participate."

Vizient recognized the results of Impact Standardization Program participants in three categories:

  • Executive Savings: earned at least $250,000 in rebates through Impact programs
  • Participation Leader: participated in and earned rebates in all 13 Impact programs
  • Participation Recognition: participated in 12 non-food Impact programs and utilized a Vizient food and nutrition services agreement

“The Impact Standardization program incentivizes smart supply chain purchasing and contracting,” said Melanie Stone, executive director, clinical quality value analysis for Wellstar Health System. “With a diverse portfolio of products and suppliers that offers plenty of options, the program has helped us save money and increase efficiencies in our inventory management over multiple years. Working with Vizient through this program has made standardization more manageable.”

“Aspirus has participated in the Impact Standardization program for several years because we see results in supply chain efficiencies each year,” said Gary Rakes, vice president and chief supply chain officer at Aspirus. “In addition to saving money, we’re managing fewer vendors and product codes, and we’re rewarded with additional rebates. I’m proud of my team and happy once again to be recognized for Aspirus’ supply chain savings.”
