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.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: Myths vs. Facts about a Leading Cancer

By: Brandpoint

(BPT) - Sponsored by Boston Scientific

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer found in men in the U.S., with about 1 in 8 men getting diagnosed in their lifetime. The risk of prostate cancer increases as men age, with the majority of cases found in men older than 65. Since September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, now is a great time to take a few minutes to learn the facts behind some common myths about prostate cancer. Read on to understand the risks, treatment options and when to take action.

Myth 1: Those without symptoms or a family connection to the disease are unlikely to have prostate cancer.

For many men, prostate cancer often has no signs or symptoms in its early stages, making it difficult to self-detect. While a family connection does increase one's risk for prostate cancer, there are several other factors that can make a man more prone to the disease, including age. Prostate cancer can also occur more often in Black men than in people of other races and ethnicities.

Myth 2: Prostate cancer grows slowly, so it's fine to skip annual screenings.

Prostate cancer is treatable when detected early, with a five-year survival rate of nearly 100 percent, so regular screenings are imperative. Men with an average risk of prostate cancer should begin regular screenings at age 50, while men at a higher risk, including Black men, men with a family history of prostate cancer or those with certain genetic mutations, are recommended to start as early as age 40.

Myth 3: Surgery is the only treatment option following a prostate cancer diagnosis.

There are several approaches to treat prostate cancer depending on its stage and patient preferences for treatment. Options for prostate cancer treatment can include active surveillance - or 'watch and wait' - for low-grade cancers. In other instances, doctors may recommend surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted drug therapy or radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is a common treatment approach, with over 60,000 U.S. men opting for this option to treat their prostate cancer every year as an alternative to surgery.

Myth 4: Radiation therapy will cause side effects like rectal bleeding.

Like any option to treat prostate cancer, radiation therapy can cause unwanted side effects, which vary for each patient. Some common side effects are urinary or bowel leakage, diminished erectile function or damage to the rectum and surrounding organs due to their proximity to the prostate. For some patients, there are options available that may help minimize the side effects of radiation therapy, such as SpaceOAR™ Hydrogel.

SpaceOAR Hydrogel is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) based hydrogel that temporarily creates a small amount of space between the prostate and the rectum, which helps reduce radiation side effects, including minimizing radiation damage to the rectum. A health care professional can place SpaceOAR Hydrogel during a minimally invasive outpatient procedure in an office, hospital, clinic or surgery center.

As with any medical treatment, there are some risks involved with the use of SpaceOAR Hydrogel. Talk to your doctor about what screening and treatment options are best for you. Learn more about the benefits and risks of SpaceOAR Hydrogel and find a doctor here.
