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.

Reinsurance Group of America Partners With the University of Leicester to Examine Impact of Lifestyle Factors on Mortality and Morbidity

Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE: RGA), a leading global life and health reinsurer, is partnering with The University of Leicester, U.K., to study and quantify how multiple rating factors and comorbidities affect one another, enabling the international scientific community to better understand a range of common and life-threatening diseases. This research, sponsored by RGA, is being conducted by The University of Leicester to reveal how lifestyle and wellness activities, such as physical activity, heart rate, cognitive function, and hours of sleep, predict health conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular health, and mortality.

“As people are living longer, more individuals will live with multiple diseases and conditions that impair their health, so a deeper understanding of how combinations of risk factors predict mortality and morbidity is extremely valuable,” said Richard Russell, Vice President, Head of Health Data Analytics, RGA. “The output from this project will have the potential to provide critical insights to the insurance industry to enhance underwriting and pricing for wellness products, and more importantly, provide insights to inform consumers on ways to improve their health and longevity.”

Researchers are hoping to determine whether information on lifestyle choices (e.g., physical activity) can be used to improve the performance of traditional rating factors (e.g., sex and age) and comorbidities (e.g., high blood pressure) in predicting health outcomes. The data will be analyzed using advanced statistical models that assemble constellations of variables to discover how they impact one another.

The groundbreaking study relies on data from UK Biobank, a longitudinal data set of approximately 500,000 adults aged 37 and 70 who were recruited at baseline between 2006 and 2010. Participants provided comprehensive data on a broad range of biological, cognitive, demographic, health, lifestyle, mental, social, and well-being outcomes, and continue to do so today. The University of Leicester will hold the data and perform all data analytics with RGA providing funding and advice.

RGA and The University of Leicester recently began the study and expect to announce early results in the second half of 2023. For more information about RGA, visit www.rgare.com.
