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.

Debunking myths and misinformation during flu season

(BPT) - Respiratory illness season has officially begun. As the holidays approach and many spend more time indoors with loved ones, the risk of contracting common respiratory illnesses like flu, COVID-19, pneumonia and RSV will rise.

But germs aren't the only things spreading this fall and winter; many vaccine-related myths and misinformation are also circulating and posing a risk to the health and safety of communities. Here are four common myths to look out for this season:

  • Myth #1: I'm healthy, so I don't need to get vaccinated. This is false. Vaccines are a safe and dependable way to help build immunity even in healthy individuals. Vaccines are the number one way to protect against respiratory illnesses and reduce the severity of symptoms if you do get sick. This time of year can be busy, but it's critical that everyone takes the time to get their annual flu shot, updated COVID-19 vaccine, and other CDC-recommended immunizations, like RSV and pneumonia (pneumococcal). Getting vaccinated also reduces the chances that you'll spread respiratory illnesses to people who are at higher risk of developing severe complications.
  • Myth #2: It's too late to get vaccinated. If you haven't gotten the flu, COVID-19 or RSV vaccine, it's not too late. However, you should get your recommended vaccines as soon as possible, especially before you travel or gather this holiday season to allow time for immunity to fully develop and increase your protection. Walgreens makes it simple to get all the recommended vaccines you need in one visit. To schedule a vaccination appointment in English or Spanish, use the Walgreens app, visit Walgreens.com/ScheduleVaccine or call 1-800-WALGREENS. We offer flexible openings, including nights and weekends, and walk-ins are welcome.
  • Myth #3: I won't be able to afford my vaccinations. The flu shot and other recommended vaccines are covered by most insurance plans, and for those who are uninsured, Walgreens offers 200,000 flu shot vouchers annually to provide free flu immunizations for medically underserved populations that need them most. Vouchers are available in-store and at clinics operated by Walgreens off-site, while supplies last. Talk to your local pharmacist about voucher availability in your area. This voucher program is part of a broader effort by Walgreens to help ensure underserved and at-risk communities stay safe from respiratory illnesses while improving awareness, access and equity to vaccines.
  • Myth #4: I have mild symptoms, so I don't need to get tested for flu or COVID-19. Flu and COVID-19 have similar symptoms to the common cold or other respiratory illnesses. Individuals who are experiencing a runny nose, cough or other respiratory symptoms should consider getting tested to know with greater confidence which virus they may have and before traveling or gathering with loved ones. This ensures individuals can quickly take the necessary steps toward recovery and avoid spreading illnesses to people at higher risk for complications. Walgreens offers a variety of convenient, low-cost options for flu and COVID-19 testing, including an easy combination test for COVID-19 and influenza A/B with results in 30 minutes or less, for $24.99. At-home tests, along with over-the-counter medicine cabinet essentials, are available for delivery in as little as 1 hour. And, if you are sick or just looking for affordable, convenient home delivery, Walgreens offers Same Day Prescription Delivery for $5.99 at more than 8,000 Walgreens with no membership required.
