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 and RISCS Announce Pilot Program to Improve Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Resilience

By: via Business Wire

Vizient Inc. and RISCS, Inc. today announced a joint pilot program aimed at enhancing assurance of pharmaceutical supply. Once implemented, the program would use a rating system to enable the evaluation of critical aspects of a resilient supply chain and provide increased transparency.

During the pilot, pharmacy suppliers will be asked to provide key information on their supply chains through the request-for-proposal process. The information provided will enable visibility into supply chain aspects such as redundancy in raw material supply, available production capacity and production flexibility, inventory practices, location differentiation and geopolitical risks.

“Our mission at RISCS is to help ensure a sustainable supply of essential medicines and Vizient has been a critical member of our RISCS Advisory Panel, which has developed our RISC Rating System™ framework,” said Stephen Colvill, Executive Director of RISCS. “We welcome Vizient’s partnership in piloting the incorporation of the RISC Rating System™ into their contracting decisions.”

Vizient is the largest member-driven health care performance improvement company in the U.S. Vizient’s diverse membership and customer base includes academic medical centers, pediatric facilities, community hospitals, integrated health delivery networks and non-acute health care providers.

“Transparency throughout the health care supply chain is key to mitigating disruptions. From the sourcing of raw materials to the delivery of the finished product, providers need that visibility to mitigate potential supply disruptions that impact their ability to care for patients,” said Mittal Sutaria, Vizient Senior Vice President, Pharmacy Contract and Program Solutions. “Solving drug shortages is within reach, and improving transparency is the first step toward the solution.”
