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.

5 expert tips for incorporating protein into your diet from celebrity chef & health advocate, Robert Irvine

By: Brandpoint

(BPT) - How much protein do you eat? Protein is key to keeping your muscles in tip-top shape and your body functioning at its best.

If you're on a GLP-1 medication, ensuring you have enough protein in your diet is especially critical. A study found that up to 40% of the weight loss with GLP-1 medications is from lean mass, which includes muscle*. In just 12-18 months, the lost muscle can be equivalent to a decade of age-related natural muscle loss**.

To help maintain your lean muscle mass while on a health journey or while taking a GLP-1 medication, celebrity chef, Royal Navy veteran, entrepreneur and host of Food Network's "Restaurant: Impossible," Robert Irvine has teamed up with OPTAVIA® to create a special protein-rich recipe and offer professional insights on the impact of eating more protein. OPTAVIA is a holistic, coach-guided approach to weight loss that is designed for real life with clinically proven plans, guidance from a personalized coach and a blueprint for creating lifelong healthy habits.

"High-protein meals are essential for muscle growth and repair, as well as keeping hunger at bay," said Irvine. "The ingredients you choose have an impact beyond the individual meal and can help manage cravings and stay on track in your day-to-day lifestyle. OPTAVIA's recipes are simple, designed to fuel your body, keep you satisfied, and make sticking to a plan easy and delicious."

Check out Chef Irvine's five simple ways to incorporate more protein into your diet so you can keep your muscles fit and fuel your health journey.

1. Choose lean proteins

Not all protein is created equal. The next time you head to the store, opt for lean proteins such as chicken, fish and plant-based options like beans and lentils. These foods provide high-quality protein without excessive fat to keep you powered throughout your busiest days.

2. Include protein in every meal

Protein shouldn't be reserved for a larger meal like dinner. Make sure to include a source of protein in every meal.

Whether it's eggs for breakfast, a protein shake as a snack or lunch or grilled chicken for dinner, adding protein in every meal will help you feel satiated and support your health.

3. Eat small, protein-rich meals throughout the day

By having protein-rich snacks and meals on hand and eating small meals every two to three hours, you can help maintain your energy levels throughout the day, whether at home or on the go. Stock your cabinet and fridge with convenient, protein-rich snack choices like nuts, Greek yogurt or protein bars and shakes.

4. Get the right support

Every OPTAVIA client also receives a personalized coach to lead them through making healthy choices and encourage them throughout their health journey.

"I love that OPTAVIA offers every client a supportive coach to motivate and encourage people throughout their health journey," said Irvine. "As someone who has worked with celebrities and military personnel, I understand the importance of support and quality ingredients in achieving health goals."

5. Balance your diet & experiment with recipes

Protein is important, but be sure to pair it with healthy fats, the right carbohydrates and a variety of vegetables to create a healthy, balanced diet which can help you maintain your muscle mass and overall health.

Changing how or what you eat is a great opportunity to try new things in the kitchen. Look for new recipes that incorporate protein in creative ways.

For example, Chef Irvine's Lean & Green+ Seared Sea Scallops with White Bean Sofrito recipe - created in collaboration with OPTAVIA - is a great example of how to craft delicious, nutritionally balanced, protein-rich meals. Scallops are rich in flavor, tender and high in protein. See below for the full recipe!

OPTAVIA's Lean & Green and Lean & Green+ recipes are healthy, balanced meals made with nourishing whole foods - designed to fuel your body, keep you satisfied, and fit easily into your on-the-go lifestyle.

Using Irvine's five expert tips along with OPTAVIA's comprehensive approach to nutrition, you can more easily incorporate protein into your daily meals to help you preserve muscle and start your journey toward a healthier, more balanced life. To learn more, visit OPTAVIA.com.
