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 Strategic Partnership with HANDLE Global to Launch Capital Asset Management System

Vizient, Inc. today announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with HANDLE Global to launch a capital asset management system to help Vizient member healthcare organizations manage their capital expenses and equipment. The system enables access to HANDLE’s platform to track capital equipment and expenses and improve equipment lifecycle planning, procurement and asset utilization.

“Advancing performance by managing spend on capital, facilities and construction projects is critical to the long-term success of our members,” said Rebecca Gayden, Vizient vice president and general manager, capital equipment solutions. “The capital asset management system — which offers data, analytics and insights — can help healthcare organizations reduce costs and operate more efficiently.”

Alongside the capital asset management system, Vizient will offer advisory services to maximize efficiencies and effectiveness of capital procurement processes and identify savings opportunities. The services include reporting that highlights standardization opportunities and improved contract utilization as well as assistance in implementing new equipment and technology.

The capital asset management system provides a “fleet” analytics module to generate summary level data, insights and recommendations across the health system’s fleet of capital equipment. The module includes risk scoring to assist decision makers in equipment lifecycle planning and budgeting decisions.

In addition, a capital budget module will allow members to incorporate insights and recommendations from the fleet analytics module into their procurement and budget management processes, providing a strategic assessment of capital equipment budgeting, requisitioning, and asset management processes. The collection of capital lifecycle data provides analytical insights to plan capital purchases and allocate assets to an organization’s enterprise resource planning system.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Vizient to help address some of the biggest challenges in the healthcare capital supply chain,” said Kyle Green, founder and CEO of HANDLE. “The lack of visibility into a healthcare system’s full fleet of assets can be incredibly costly, and we are proud to offer the platform that empowers healthcare to make better decisions backed by what is now one of the largest capital data sets in the world.”
