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 Grants Public Access to the Vizient Vulnerability Index™ for Healthcare Providers to Assess Health Equity in their Communities

By: via Business Wire

Vizient, Inc. today announced it is granting public access to the patent pending Vizient Vulnerability Index™. The access comes at no cost and provides a unique level of visibility for healthcare organizations to assess social determinants of health that impact health equity in the communities they serve. It is now available to anyone. Access the Vizient Vulnerability Index.

The Vizient Vulnerability Index aggregates 43 social determinants of health data points into nine categories at the local, regional and national levels that impact health outcomes. Each category of data quantifies how specific vulnerabilities impact specific populations. The public view provides zip code and Census tract-level information across these categories: Economic, education, healthcare access, neighborhood conditions, housing, clean environment, social environment, transportation and public safety.

“Many social determinants that impact communities extend beyond the hospital's walls, whether it's lack of housing, transportation or public safety,” said Beth Godsey, senior vice president, Data Science and Methodology for Vizient. “But knowing exactly what issues affect local residents gives health systems perspective on possible resources or partnerships necessary to better support those specific social needs.”

The Vizient Vulnerability Index aggregates the following public data sources:

  • American Community Survey 2020 (US Census) 5-year estimates survey data
  • USDA “food desert” measure of low-income population beyond a half mile (urban) or one mile (rural) from a grocery store
  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data on air and water pollution
  • The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) “severe housing cost” measure of housing cost burden over 50% of income

“Whatever the issue, clearcut data enables health systems to more effectively focus their interventions to mitigate challenges. The Vizient Vulnerability Index offers a new level of insight for healthcare organizations to understand their community and where gaps exist. Other indices simply don't allow for that same level of specificity,” Godsey said.
