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.

Dread packing lunch? Top 5 benefits of school-provided lunches

By: Brandpoint

(BPT) - Do you dread the daily routine of packing your child's lunch box? You're not alone. According to a 2023 survey, packing school lunches may be the task parents dread most, even more than cleaning the bathroom or going to the dentist.

Remembering to shop for and pack a variety of lunches for your little scholar can be overwhelming when you're already short on time. Instead of stressing, consider signing your child up for school-provided lunches.

School-provided lunches aren't just convenient. They also provide a wide range of benefits. Chartwells K12 - a school dining provider dedicated to making the cafeteria the happiest place in school - highlights the top five benefits of opting in for school lunches.

1. A source of healthy foods

When your children eat school-provided lunches, you can rest easy knowing they are receiving a healthy meal that will fuel their learning experience. A study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that school food quality has increased significantly since the early 2000s and provides the highest mean diet quality of any major food source. That means that try as you might to pack a healthy meal, the healthiest option for your child is the breakfast or lunch their school provides.

2. Value in every bite

In light of inflation and rising food costs, value is top of mind for families across the country. Luckily, school lunches offer students healthy, balanced and safe meals at an affordable price while saving families time and stress.

3. A flavorful journey of discovery

Meals are a great opportunity for kids to discover new foods and cultures. At school, students are given the option to try new flavors and international cuisines that go beyond their family's usual menu. Not only does this broaden their young palates, but exposure to different foods fosters an appreciation for different heritages. In this way, the cafeteria serves as an educational hub for cultural exploration.

4. Fuel for growing minds

School lunches provide the necessary fuel kids need to stay focused and be more alert so they can thrive in class. For example, school lunches offer nutrient-packed foods like:

  • Spinach: a great source of vitamins A, C and K, iron for energy and cognitive function and fiber for gut health.
  • Yogurt: an excellent source of calcium, vitamin D, protein and probiotics for digestive and immune health.
  • Eggs: a protein-packed source of vitamins D and B12, iron and zinc to support bone health, red blood cell production, brain function and immune health.
  • Blueberries: a superfood that offers antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K and fiber and supports immune function, cognitive development and digestive health.

These essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are vital for your student's growth and development.

5. A lesson in inclusion and acceptance

The lunchroom plays a large part in a student's social experience, and changes to the environment can help create a culture of inclusion and acceptance. For example, inclusive menus, educational programs, staff training, cafeteria setup and even renovations can help facilitate positive social interactions and inclusion during the school day.

So, say goodbye to stressing over packing healthy lunches that you (fingers crossed) hope your child eats! Take advantage of the convenient and nutritious options of a school-provided lunch so your children can enjoy new flavors, healthy options, delicious meals and impactful experiences.
