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.

MetLife Announces New Dental Wellness Incentive to Reward Healthy Behaviors

MetLife announced today the launch of a new Dental Wellness Incentive, designed to help employees make the most of their dental benefits by encouraging preventive care, helping reduce out-of-pocket costs, and promoting whole-person health. The provision rewards employees for positive oral health behavior - such as routine cleanings and exams - by increasing a member’s annual maximum and/or coinsurance percentages, and/or by reducing plan deductibles.

This new incentive will reward employees for prioritizing regular dental visits, which are important to one’s overall health. The new feature helps employees get more for their dental benefits, including health and financial incentives to make preventive visits more routine. By doing so, MetLife aims to support holistic wellness while helping employees find a long-term plan that fits their personal wellness needs. As part of this plan design enhancement:

  • Rewards are personalized, enabling each eligible member and their dependents to qualify and earn the incentive based on their preventive dental care visits during the previous year.
  • Based on dental claims that employees submit the previous year, richer benefits are given over time to employees and enrolled family members who may need more care in the future.
  • Benefits increase for up to three years giving employees additional motivation to utilize the incentive.
  • When the incentive is included in the group plan, employees can start earning incentives for use in the following year and they automatically renew each year.

“MetLife’s modern approach to dental benefits is designed to go beyond just dental care, helping care for employees’ total wellbeing,” said Chris Swanker, senior vice president, Dental at MetLife. “I’m pleased that MetLife has developed flexible options designed to deliver a dental benefits program that helps to protect employees, encourage better overall health, and reduce out-of-pocket costs. A smile can have a powerful effect, and we hope this plan can encourage positive dental behavior, and in turn, help employees boost both their holistic well-being and confidence.”

The added incentive to MetLife’s Dental Plan will begin rolling out between September 1 and November 1, 2022, for employers that have elected to include the incentive in their plan.
