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 Supply Risk Solutions

Partnership enhances transparency between providers and suppliers

Vizient, Inc. announced today it has entered into a strategic partnership with Supply Risk Solutions to provide a database platform for the collection of healthcare supply pedigree data. The partnership will provide automated supply chain disruption monitoring and risk prevention for Vizient members and is the latest effort by Vizient to increase supply assurance for its membership, which includes more than half the nation’s healthcare providers.

“Disruptions in the supply chain can lead to delayed treatment for patients in need," said Margaret Steele, senior vice president of med/surg for Vizient. "Our supply assurance strategy is to increase transparency for our members, and for all stakeholders in healthcare, to ensure continuity of patient care."

Supply Risk Solutions provides an encrypted platform that allows suppliers to store manufacturing pedigree data in a single location and authorize access to that data to multiple healthcare providers. The platform maps supplier manufacturing locations, automates disruption monitoring and tailors risk prevention measures. It will enable key industry measures such as:

  • Standardization of product-level supplier pedigree data
  • Capture of product and category level pedigree data from raw materials to finished product
  • Automation of threat- and disruption-monitoring to accelerate identification of impacted suppliers
  • Development and standardization of best practices for supplier responses to disruptions

“SRS bridges a gap between healthcare providers and healthcare suppliers, providing increased visibility into production of critical supplies and collaboration on risk management,” said Patrick Brennan, CEO, Supply Risk Solutions. “As we expand our supplier coverage through this strategic partnership, participating Vizient members will have the opportunity to access this information, helping to mitigate against supply disruption.”
