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 Examines Trends in Diagnostic Imaging, CT Advancements and Theranostics in Latest Tech Watch

Vizient, Inc. released its latest edition of Tech Watch, examining trends in diagnostic imaging (DI), advances in computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) exams and a service line strategy for the use of theranostics to treat cancer. Access Diagnostic Imaging Tech Watch.

“As technology evolves, it’s important to keep up with the latest iterations of diagnostic imaging to strategize patient care and capital asset management,” said Adam Fairbourn, director, contract services, Vizient. “This issue of Tech Watch assesses recent technological advancements, theranostics as a cancer treatment option in the DI space and a look at 10 considerations when thinking about the patient care strategies for diagnostic imaging service lines.”

Featured articles include:

Top 10 trends in diagnostic imaging — Sg2, a Vizient company, forecasts double-digit growth in diagnostic imaging services over the next decade driven by increased demand and technological advances. With an expected 15% growth in CT and PET exams, an already strained workforce can leverage artificial intelligence and automation to improve workflow. From enterprise imaging partnerships to cybersecurity, as this article lays out, providers who plan well will be positioned to further advance their imaging offerings.

Computed tomography advancements can reduce patient radiation and increase scan effectiveness — Since first introduced in the 1970s, innovation in CT technology continues to grow with scientists and engineers developing new and more efficient methods to improve image quality, reduce scan times and lessen radiation exposure. Advancements such as spectral imaging and photon-counting detectors (PCD) have improved the capabilities of CT systems and expanded post-processing capabilities. This article assesses an array of current CT technologies, including those that use PCDs; spectral CT, which offers accentuated image enhancement; and CT fractional flow reserve, which has been shown to reduce invasive coronary angiography and overall treatment costs in coronary artery disease.

Considerations for theranostics: Service line strategy, requirements and external constraints — With the advancement of theranostics and other radioactive tracers for the detection and treatment of cancer, some providers view theranostics as a potential new service line adjacent to oncology and imaging services. Theranostics drugs don’t replace other oncology services such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, but rather, serve as an additional treatment option for patients who don’t respond to those therapies. This article lays out the most important considerations for a service line strategy, including technology and staff requirements, external constraints and most importantly, regulatory requirements for a radioactive material license.
