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.

Learn how vaccines can help ensure a healthier start to school

By: Brandpoint

(BPT) - Pop quiz: Do you know which childhood diseases the DTaP vaccine helps prevent?

(Answer: Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis - also called whooping cough).

If you didn't know the answer, you're not alone! Recommended childhood vaccines like DTaP have been so successful in preventing serious illness and even death from once common diseases that many of us are unfamiliar with their names or symptoms.

Ensuring your child is up to date with their recommended vaccinations helps keep it that way. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show the latest vaccination coverage, or the percentage of people who are vaccinated with specific vaccines, among kindergarten children is 93%. This is lower than pre-pandemic coverage, which hovered around 95% for nearly a decade. This is significant because it means that there are nearly 250,000 kindergartners who may not be completely protected against serious diseases like measles.

Help make sure that your child is protected from serious diseases like measles and chickenpox, which can spread easily in school settings. Talk to your child's healthcare provider about keeping your child up to date with recommended vaccines.

Want to learn more? Consult CDC's easy-to-read vaccination schedule to see if your child is protected. And check out the handy 'cheat sheet' below to learn more about some once-common childhood diseases that recommended vaccinations now help protect your child from:

Diphtheria

  • About: Diphtheria is a contagious bacterial infection of the nose and throat and sometimes skin. The disease spreads when people with diphtheria cough or sneeze, or if others come into contact with their infected wounds.
  • Symptoms and complications: Diphtheria can cause difficulty breathing. In more serious cases, diphtheria can cause heart muscle damage, heart failure, and nerve damage. About 1 in 5 kids under the age of 5 who get diphtheria die from it.
  • How to protect your child: Make sure your child is up to date on their DTaP or Tdap vaccinations.

Pertussis (Whooping Cough)

  • About: Pertussis (also known as whooping cough) is a very contagious bacterial infection of the lungs. The disease spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes around others.
  • Symptoms and complications: Pertussis usually starts with cold-like symptoms, and maybe a mild cough, but can become very serious. Someone with whooping cough can cough violently and rapidly, over and over. This extreme coughing can result in vomiting and exhaustion. Babies and young children may not cough at all but may have difficulty breathing instead.
  • How to protect your child: The best way to stay protected from pertussis is with DTaP or Tdap vaccination.

Polio

  • About: Polio is caused by poliovirus, a viral infection of the nerves and brain. It is spread through person-to-person contact from infected stool.
  • Symptoms and complications: Poliovirus can cause life-long paralysis and be life-threatening.
  • How to protect your child: There is no cure for polio, but it can be prevented with vaccination.

Varicella (Chickenpox)

  • About: Varicella (also known as chickenpox) is a contagious viral infection that causes fever, headache, and an itchy, blistering rash. It is spread through the air and direct contact. Up to 9 in 10 people that are not immune and come into contact with someone with chickenpox will also get infected.
  • Symptoms and complications: Varicella can cause infected sores, brain swelling, infection of the lungs (pneumonia), and can be life-threatening.
  • How to protect your child: The varicella vaccine protects children against chickenpox.

Measles

  • About: Measles is very contagious and can be serious. Anyone who is not protected against measles is at risk. About 9 in 10 people who are exposed to measles and not protected against measles get infected.
  • Symptoms: Measles can cause high fever, cough, runny nose, red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis), and rash. Measles can cause serious health complications, especially in children younger than 5 years old.
  • How to protect your child: The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine protects children against measles.

Thanks to the protection given by recommended vaccines, it makes sense that there is less awareness about these once common childhood diseases. Let's keep it that way. Before your child goes back to school, make sure they are up to date with recommend vaccines. Talk to your child's healthcare provider about recommended childhood vaccines.
