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 Assesses CABG, Factors Affecting Orthopedic Procedures in Ambulatory Settings

Vizient, Inc. assesses coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) techniques and costs as well as factors affecting orthopedic procedures in non-acute settings in the latest Medical Device Tech Watch. The publication also reviews advancements in internal leg lengthening for children with congenital femoral deficiency. Read Medical Device Tech Watch.

"Every service line encounters a unique set of challenges, but the overarching objective remains the same – achieving optimal patient outcomes," said Bonnie Lai, senior vice president and general manager of Vizient physician preference item spend management. "Our focus is on supporting healthcare providers to maximize the impact of every dollar spent on medical devices, including new innovations."

Featured articles include:

Coronary artery bypass: assessing procedural techniques and variable costs — As coronary artery disease continues to grow over the next decade, the number of CABG procedures is projected to grow as well. It’s crucial for healthcare providers to have strategic conversations with multiple stakeholders across the organization (supply chain, physicians, strategy, quality, finance, operations, etc.) to evaluate and improve both the financial and clinical aspects of CABG procedures. These conversations will help ensure cardiac surgery program sustainability and improve patient outcomes. New analysis of data from Vizient Procedural Analytics provides a breakdown of costs for supplies used during a case, including costs of endoscopic vein harvesting kits and cardiac perfusion, which provides oxygen to the heart during surgery.

Seven factors affecting orthopedic procedures in non-acute settings — Orthopedic outpatient (OP) procedures are expected to grow more than 13% over the next decade, according to Sg2, a Vizient company, which also provides an orthopedics procedures forecast by inpatient-OP settings. As orthopedic procedures become more complex and common, providers must continually consider the unique challenges of this service line — including staff training, regulatory requirements and patient education — and how they affect high standards of patient care, operational efficiency and financial sustainability.

Internal leg lengthening: Advancements lead to improved care for children with congenital femoral deficiency The field of internal leg lengthening continues evolving, spurred by technological advancements and a growing understanding of bone biology. Recent innovations, such as improved devices, expanded clinical applications and enhanced rehabilitation, are expanding treatment boundaries. While the advancements offer tremendous potential, providers are urged to recognize the challenges associated with the procedure to navigate its complexities so that they can leverage emerging technologies that have the potential to revolutionize the field.
