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.

Bayer and Alara Imaging Announce Collaboration

Collaboration brings together solutions with Bayer’s Calantic™ Digital Solution Platform

As Radiology administrators from around the US gather for the annual AHRA (American Healthcare Radiology Administrators) conference, Bayer is announcing an exploratory collaboration with Alara Imaging, Inc.

"Radiation doses from computed tomography (CT) scans on patients are highly variable across patients and hospitals throughout the United States and other nations.1 Radiation doses that are beyond what are necessary to perform adequate CT scans represents a modifiable health risk, as doses can be reduced through monitoring and feedback to hospitals and institutions.2

To ensure proper patient safety, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has established a standardized method to monitor the performance of diagnostic CTs to discourage unnecessarily high radiation doses with the creation of new radiology patient safety electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs). These eCQMs use Alara Imaging software to access primary data elements stored within radiology electronic health records and translate them into data elements for eCQM calculation and reporting.

As CMS Measure Steward, the Alara SOC II- and HIPAA-compliant software supports health systems to securely transfer existing data from the electronic health record systems (EHR), radiology information system (RIS), and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS systems) to enable necessary computations for CMS quality measure compliance.

“As leaders in radiation dose management software, Bayer is thrilled to enter into this collaboration with Alara Imaging, Inc”, stated Rich Dewit, Global Head, Digital Solutions, Bayer. “Bayer is committed to helping Radimetrics customers by engaging with ALARA to support their institutions compliance with the new Hospital Quality Reporting eCQMs by leveraging the Alara gateway.”

“Alara is proud to collaborate with Bayer to support health systems across the U.S. with these important patient safety measures,” Nate Mazonson, CEO & Co-founder, Alara Imaging, Inc.

About Alara Imaging, Inc.

Alara was founded to usher in a new wave of medical imaging advancements that improve patient outcomes. Alara serves as measure steward and provides the secure software for use in new radiology measures within CMS quality payment programs.
