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 pulsed field ablation, wearables for women’s cardiovascular health in latest Medical Device Tech Watch

Vizient, Inc. examines pulsed field ablation technologies for atrial fibrillation and the role wearable monitoring devices can play in women’s cardiovascular health in the latest Medical Device Tech Watch.

“New technologies—like pulsed field ablation and wearable heart monitoring—and clinical decision support tools present providers with the opportunity to improve care pathways and determine how to provide cost-effective care,” said Bonnie Lai, senior vice president and general manager, Vizient. “By working closely with providers, we have developed best practices for operationalizing the use of these innovative technologies and tools.”

Featured articles include:

Top three questions providers are asking about the latest in electrophysiology technology: pulsed field ablation — As atrial fibrillation becomes more common and poses a greater burden on patients and healthcare systems, a need has arisen for efficient and coordinated cardiovascular care. The promising clinical results from pulsed field ablation (PFA) have generated a wave of enthusiasm and interest with a major study reporting a 60-70% success rate for patients living a-fib free after one year. Supply utilization and reimbursement policies will determine the margin impact of PFA. But with a lower risk of injury than other a-fib ablation modalities, most hospitals with comprehensive electrophysiology programs are exploring this new technology.

How women’s cardiovascular care differs and the role of wearable technologies — Addressing gaps in care for women with heart disease is crucial. Providers can narrow the gap between men and women by identifying and understanding women’s unique risk factors and heart disease symptoms, such as fatigue, jaw or tooth pain and emphasizing disease prevention. As new generations of wearable heart monitoring devices emerge, increasing accuracy and functionality, uptake is generally higher among women compared to men, but adoption rates lag overall among adults over 50 and patients with lower incomes. Higher adoption rates could be leveraged to improve care.

How can healthcare providers and their patients benefit from clinical decision support tools? Clinical decision support tools offer healthcare providers the ability to automate operations, reduce the cost of care and enable collaboration among clinicians. Not only does the new technology benefit patients and insurance providers, but its use will also be a requirement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for imaging and lab testing reimbursement under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act. This article outlines the benefits of CDS, such as the help it provides in assembling clinical evidence and aggregating drug information as well as its obstacles.
