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.

PBIRx Awarded Woman Owned Business Enterprise Certification

PBIRx, Inc. is proud to announce that it has been certified as a Woman Owned Small Minority Business Enterprise through the Supplier Diversity Program in the state of Connecticut. Patricia Sirowich is the founder and president of PBIRx, the premier consultant firm in the pharmacy benefit industry, providing individualized consulting and auditing services for 30 years.

To be certified as a Woman Owned Business in Connecticut, the business must provide extensive documentation. Certified businesses must prove that they are independently operated and at least 51 percent owned, controlled, and managed by a member of a minority, such as a woman owned business. Sirowich is a market leader in the pharmacy benefit industry with vast experience working with Fortune 100 companies, large and small employers, unions, hospitals, municipalities, managed health care plans, coalitions, and third-party administrators.

“I am pleased that PBIRx has been recognized by the state of Connecticut as a Woman Owned Business Enterprise, especially as diversity initiatives continue to move to the forefront of our nation’s consciousness,” said Sirowich. “As a woman with 30-plus years of experience in the pharmacy benefit sector, I bring a wealth of knowledge and have a unique perspective to help our clients achieve their savings and optimal health goals. I also pride myself on mentoring our staff to dive into the weeds and leave no stone unturned to provide the highest level of knowledge and service.”

In 1993, Sirowich founded PBIRx to combat increased pharmacy costs and the lack of transparency for payers. Since then, PBIRx’s expertise in pharmacy benefits has allowed it to serve as a premier client advocate in the ever-growing prescription benefit marketplace.

“When I started in this industry in 1987,” said Sirowich, “pharmacy benefits represented 4% of health care dollars. Now, depending on the demographics, it represents 25% to 40% of health care dollars and is the most utilized and valued benefit to members.”

Sirowich has worked extensively in the pharmacy and health care industry. Before starting PBIRx, she was one of the founders of Express Scripts, contributing to the growth of what is now the largest pharmacy benefit management organization in the country. Under Sirowich’s leadership, PBIRx provides expertise in all areas of pharmacy benefits, from identifying specialty drugs to advising in contract negotiations.

“I am very proud of the prestigious clients who trust us and value our services,” said Sirowich. “As companies adopt supplier diversity policies, they still want to hire the most qualified person for the role. I trust those companies will consider PBIRx as not only a Woman Owned Business Enterprise but also a company with three decades of experience and a multitude of clients who would attest to our integrity and our ability to deliver promised savings and services.”
