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.

Healthmine and Exact Sciences Partner to Combine At-Home CRC Screening with Health Plan Incentives to Boost Preventive Care

Healthmine, a leading member engagement and rewards platform for health plans, announced a strategic partnership with Exact Sciences, a global leader in cancer diagnostics, to improve colorectal cancer screening completion rates.

Through this partnership, members of participating health plans will receive incentives from their plan for completing an at-home Cologuard® test. Health plans will see an improvement in CRC screening rates, backed by Healthmine’s behavioral science driven, member engagement communications and provision of health plan reward programs to members who complete and return the test. The collaboration aims to address key preventive care gaps and support early detection of colorectal cancer, a critical component of the NCQA’s HEDIS measures and CMS’ renewed focus on prevention and wellness across Medicare and Medicaid. Healthmine’s health plan partners already experience 25% completion improvement over baseline in CRC screening measure programs, 52% improvement in overall gap closure across all programs with and without incentives and an average 93% increase in gap closure among members in rewards programs.

“Colorectal cancer screening is one of the most underutilized, yet most effective, preventive tools in our healthcare system,” said Kimberly Swanson, Healthmine’s Chief of Staff. “By combining Exact Sciences’ trusted and convenient Cologuard testing with Healthmine’s incentive-driven engagement strategy, health plans can close screening gaps faster, drive meaningful participation across all lines of business, and ultimately improve both outcomes and increased MLR savings by reducing the need for more costly interventions.”

The initiative is already underway with several national, regional and Blues plans, with additional launches coming in 2025. Incentivizing preventive care like Cologuard screening tests, where patients can collect a sample in their home and ship it to the lab for testing, is particularly well-suited for members with social barriers to care, such as lack of transportation or limited access to in-person providers.

“We are excited to collaborate with Healthmine to help our health plan partners get more members screened for colorectal cancer,” said Mike Kemeter, Exact Sciences’ Vice President of Market Access. “Combining our ability to offer care gap screening programs with a proven health plan member engagement company can add real cost and enrollment retention value for both members and plans.”

This partnership comes at a time when CMS and NCQA have emphasized the role of in-home testing and member incentives in driving preventive care uptake. During the 2025 CMS Quality Conference, agency leaders underscored the importance of shifting away from reactive care and toward strategies that promote wellness, early intervention and cost savings.

Healthmine’s platform enables tailored outreach, real-time reporting, and fast fulfillment of gift card incentives—typically within 48 hours of member action. Together with Exact Sciences, the company will help health plans across all lines of business reduce care gaps, drive MLR optimization, meet quality performance goals and increase retention by driving member satisfaction.
