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.

Updated trend data shows quality impact on transcatheter aortic valve implantation—Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been rapidly expanding, benefiting patients who are not eligible or willing to undergo surgical valve replacement. Vizient compared industry findings that examine case volume and mortality prior to 2018 to recent outcomes from the Vizient Clinical Data Base and found while expected length of stay has increased, mortality rates have declined. The report also tracks complication and mortality rate by region as well as the relationship between clinician expertise in TAVR and better outcomes.

Model for assessing new technology in musculoskeletal care—With new devices and products entering the market, Vizient has developed an adoption model for assessing the clinical benefits and financial impact of musculoskeletal technologies. In a review that included Vizient Procedural Analytics data from 79 facilities over a six-month period, researchers applied the model to 3D printed interbody spacers showing cost considerations for basic, advanced and 3D printed spacers. The report offers comprehensive guidelines for individual provider evaluations.

Increasing growth forecasted for intravascular ultrasound market—Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease in the U.S., affecting an estimated 18.2 million adults. Early detection and intervention remain critical goals for health care providers. With new and evolving diagnostic tools and medical imaging techniques improving outcomes and patient care, this article provides an overview of intravascular ultrasound technology and other modalities, as a diagnostic tool and a complement to angiography.
