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.

Moderated by the CMS Office of Minority Health, the panel consisted of esteemed healthcare leaders from health systems across the country. Karyl Kopaskie, PhD, Principal at Vizient and Kristen Azar, RN MSN/MPH FAHA, Scientific Director at Sutter Health’s Institute for Advancing Health Equity shared key insights from a recent cross-sectional survey, which was led by Sutter Health with support from Vizient, to benchmark healthcare system organizational structures and capabilities related to measuring health equity. Notably, Vizient and Sutter Health reported variation in how systems measure and track health equity, including the metrics and sociodemographic factors selected, and how long they have been tracking at the executive-level. Additionally, the broader panel highlighted their focus on advancing health equity despite the various barriers they face in their work such as coordination issues, lack of guidance on equity tracking and limited resources, among other challenges.

“On behalf of Vizient, we appreciate CMS for hosting this inaugural conference and bringing together healthcare providers and other industry partners for important conversations related to social determinants of health,” said Kopaskie. “It is clear from the survey that further assessment related to health equity efforts across U.S. hospitals and health systems is needed and such insights could help to inform standards for measurement, best practice guidelines and policy.”

Vizient looks forward to continuing to work alongside providers and CMS to help implement strategies that would support health equity tracking and measurement across hospitals.
