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.

Guardian Pharmacy Services Expands Pacific Northwest Footprint with Acquisition of Washington-based Mercury Pharmacy Services

Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. (NYSE: GRDN), one of the nation’s largest and most innovative long-term care (LTC) pharmacy services companies, today announced its acquisition of Mercury Pharmacy Services, a leading LTC pharmacy based in Mountlake Terrace, Wash. This acquisition marks Guardian’s first pharmacy location in Washington and represents one of the company’s larger recent single-pharmacy deals. With this strategic addition, Guardian expands its footprint into the Pacific Northwest, positioning the company to support the growing demand for LTC pharmacy services across this area. The new location will serve residents in assisted living, skilled nursing, and behavioral health communities, as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Founded in 2001, Mercury Pharmacy Services is among the largest providers of LTC pharmacy services in the Seattle-Tacoma area and serves residents and LTC communities across the state of Washington and adjoining areas. All existing leadership and staff at Mercury Pharmacy Services will remain in place, continuing to operate under the same name.

“As we continue our nationwide expansion, we remain focused on identifying outstanding local pharmacies in regions where senior living operators have expressed a clear need for high-quality, LTC pharmacy services,” said Fred Burke, president and CEO of Guardian Pharmacy Services. “Demand for dependable, responsive LTC pharmacy service has grown significantly across Washington, and our acquisition of Mercury Pharmacy Services allows us to meet that need with a financially strong, high-performing pharmacy already delivering exceptional care.”

As with Guardian’s other acquisitions, Mercury Pharmacy Services will benefit from the company’s unique business model. This enables the local pharmacy teams to focus on customer service and the specialized needs of the communities and residents they serve, while Guardian’s centralized Corporate Support Team assists with the many complex behind-the-scenes business functions, including data analytics, HR, IT, payor relations, national sales and more.

Founded in 2004, Guardian Pharmacy Services has expanded from a single location to more than 50 pharmacies serving approximately 7,000 LTC facilities across the U.S. This growth has been fueled by a balanced strategy of organic expansion, greenfield startups, and acquisitions, supporting the company’s success in a rapidly evolving market.
