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.

Support your immune system this flu season with 6 easy tips

(BPT) - As the cold weather approaches, it's time to gear up for flu season. Even though germs are always around, you can take small, daily steps to give your body a better chance to stay healthy. Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner shares six simple, practical tips to keep your immune system strong during the fall and winter months.

1. Add spices to your meals

Certain spices like turmeric, garlic and ginger not only add flavor to your food but also provide natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits. Consider adding these spices to your meals for a simple and tasty way to support your immune system.

2. Stay hydrated

Staying hydrated helps your body flush out toxins and defend against seasonal bugs. Water is essential, but broths and herbal teas are also good options that provide extra warmth and comfort during the colder days.

3. Eat colorful fruits and vegetables

The colors of produce reflect phytochemicals, natural compounds that offer unique health benefits. According to the Mayo Clinic, when eaten, these phytochemicals can provide certain health benefits, including antioxidants that strengthen your immunity. Filling your plate with a variety of colors, such as leafy greens, peppers, carrots and berries, ensures you get a wide range of protective nutrients.

4. Prioritize sleep

Sleep is the time when your body repairs and recharges. Getting seven to nine hours of restful sleep each night helps your body recover from daily wear and tear, and prepares your immune system to handle seasonal changes.

5. Practice good hygiene

Good hygiene is one of the easiest ways to reduce your chances of getting sick. Washing your hands regularly, avoiding touching your face and keeping frequently used surfaces clean can help reduce the spread of germs. Don't forget your phone and computer keyboard!

6. Eat immune-supporting meals

The meals you choose can help strengthen your body during flu season. As you plan your meals for the week, add immune-supporting options to your list. Cooking meals with wholesome ingredients like chicken broth and veggies such as this Harvest Stracciatella Soup (Italian Egg Soup with Vegetables) from Eggland's Best can help you stay nourished all season long.

Eggland's Best eggs contain six times more Vitamin D compared to ordinary eggs, which helps strengthen immune cells so they can defend against harmful bacteria and viruses. They also contain more than double the omega-3s compared to ordinary eggs, which support immune defenses and reduce inflammation. Plus, they provide high-quality protein, which is the building block of antibodies and immune cells, making it essential for strong defenses.
