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 Expands Agreement with Panda Health for Digital Health Marketplace

New agreement adds sourcing expertise to digital health technology portfolio

Vizient, Inc. announced today it has expanded its strategic partnership with Panda Health, to immediately expand the array of digital health technologies and consulting services available to Vizient members. Panda will also continue to provide the expertise of its digital health team to Vizient members to help them execute their digital transformation strategy economically, safely and at speed.

Panda Health assesses technologies across dozens of different digital health categories — such as advanced patient scheduling, telemedicine, digital patient intake, care coordination, patient financial engagement and more — and includes those technologies that meet rigorous functional, technical, and service requirements. Selected technologies are also evaluated across cybersecurity, legal, and interoperability requirements, enabling Vizient members to more easily find and implement digital health solutions while minimizing the risk involved with vendor selection.

“Digital health care solutions are increasingly necessary for providers to meet patient expectations and we want to facilitate their adoption for Vizient members,” said John Becker, group SVP for Vizient. “We have expanded our strategic agreement with Panda to aid Vizient members in adopting industry-leading digital health solutions and services as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.”

In July of 2021, Vizient and Panda Health entered into an agreement to offer Panda’s platform of digital health solutions to Vizient’s member hospitals. Over the last year, Panda has delivered Vizient members with as much as 50% reductions in procurement timelines in addition to contracted savings. The expanded agreement utilizes Panda’s expertise with solution selection, implementation and contract management processes.

“We are proud of the accomplishments Panda has made over the last year assisting Vizient members to evolve the way they deliver care and work with leading digital health companies. Expanding our relationship enables our marketplace platform and value-added services to be accessible to all Vizient members,” said David Harvey, CEO, Panda Health. “We remain committed to helping Vizient members safely source, evaluate, compare, and select the best-fit solutions for their organizations.”

“CentraCare is a longstanding Vizient member and has worked with Panda for nearly two years, helping us to advance the patient and provider experience through accelerated, innovative digital health strategy and solution adoption. Vizient members should take advantage of this strategic partnership to not only meet, but exceed patients’ needs as healthcare technology continues to evolve,” said Ken Holmen, president and CEO, CentraCare.
