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.

Walgreens Flu Shot Appointments Now Available Nationwide for Everyone Aged 3 and Up

By: via Business Wire

Community pharmacies continue to serve as a convenient, trusted destination for vaccinations and other preventive healthcare services

Walgreens is now offering flu shots for anyone aged 3 years and up at stores nationwide ahead of respiratory illness season. Individuals and families can visit the pharmacy or schedule an appointment through the Walgreens app, by visiting Walgreens.com/ScheduleVaccine or by calling 1-800-WALGREENS.

Walgreens trusted pharmacy teams are working to keep communities protected this upcoming respiratory season by helping to ensure everyone has convenient and timely options for vaccination, testing and treatment – all in one place.

  • Vaccinations: Flexible vaccination appointments are available – including nights, weekends and walk-ins* – with the option to schedule additional vaccines in the same visit, making it easy and convenient to stay up to date on all recommended vaccines, such as RSV, shingles, pneumococcal pneumonia and others. Walgreens will also provide the updated COVID-19 vaccine once available, recommended by the CDC to better protect against newer coronavirus variants.
  • Testing: Individuals who are experiencing a runny nose, cough or other respiratory symptoms should get tested to help ensure they can quickly take the necessary steps toward recovery. Walgreens offers a variety of convenient options for flu and COVID-19 testing, including over-the-counter, PCR, and an easy “2 results in 1” in-store rapid test for COVID-19 and influenza A and B with results in 30 minutes, for $24.99.
  • Treatments: Walgreens offers a full range of over-the-counter and prescription medications to help individuals minimize symptoms and recover as soon as possible. In many states, Walgreens pharmacists can evaluate and prescribe antiviral medicine, including Paxlovid or Tamiflu, if an individual tests positive for flu or COVID-19. Walgreens also offers 1-hour delivery for medicine cabinet essentials and Same Day Rx Delivery for eligible prescriptions.

Data from the CDC and IQVIA show that patients are increasingly turning to pharmacies for their routine vaccinations. According to a 2023 IQVIA study, approximately 70% of adult flu vaccinations were administered in retail pharmacies during flu season.1,2

“Pharmacies continue to be the cornerstone of healthcare in communities across the U.S. and patients rely on our trusted pharmacists for everyday care, and respiratory illness season is no different,” said Rick Gates, chief pharmacy officer, Walgreens. “Our pharmacists play a critical role in ensuring communities stay protected from viruses, providing accessible, quick and routine preventive services, including vaccinations, testing and treatment.”

More than 50,000 immunizing Walgreens pharmacy team members continue to play a critical role in helping to protect patients and their families from vaccine-preventable illnesses. Since 2010, they have administered more than 105 million vaccinations in communities throughout the U.S. Thanks to their efforts, neighborhood pharmacies like Walgreens continue to be the most accessible destinations for care during fall respiratory virus season.

How to prepare for a visit:

  • Schedule an appointment – visit Walgreens.com/ScheduleVaccine or call 1-800-Walgreens, both available in Spanish and English.
  • Complete vaccination consent paperwork digitally prior to your appointment to automatically send to the pharmacy and save time during your appointment.
  • Use the digital check-in feature at the pharmacy to skip the line and confirm your arrival.
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing and bring insurance information.
