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.

“Hospitals have faced some of the most difficult challenges in history over the last couple of years, and despite federal efforts, they continue to grapple with severe financial obstacles driven by inflation and ongoing workforce issues,” said Margaret Steele, senior vice president, Med/Surg, GPO Services & Delivery for Vizient. “It is imperative that we understand the threats facing hospitals and what they anticipate in the path ahead as they remain deeply committed to meeting the needs of patients.”

Steele moderated the policy discussion with an esteemed panel of key hospital leaders including:

  • Dr. Raghu Adiga, MD, President & Chief Executive Officer, Liberty Hospital
  • Jack Lynch III, FACHE, President & Chief Executive Officer, Main Line Health
  • Dr. Peter Newcomer, MD, MMM, Senior Vice President & Chief Clinical Officer, UW Health
  • Allison Rogers, Chief Strategy Officer, Ballad Health

The panel of experts outlined the myriad shared risks their hospitals are facing, including decreased reimbursements from payers, inflationary pressures and persistent workforce shortages. Despite these challenges, these providers, and others, are committed to patient care and delivering critical community benefits. The panelists highlighted their focus on enhancing primary care access, providing clinical education, initiatives to support maternal health and reduce health disparities, and supporting patient access to care through hospital-at-home programs and rural healthcare facility investments.

Vizient looks forward to continuing to partner alongside policymakers and our provider members to help hospitals overcome challenges associated with rising costs and the evolving healthcare delivery landscape in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
