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.

Leading California-Based Therapist Expands Inclusive Therapy Services to Support LGBTQ+ Mental Health Needs

By: Get News
Julia Schiffman, a leading licensed LGBTQ+ therapist, says her virtual therapy is now available statewide to help address growing mental health disparities among LGBTQ+ communities in California.

Responding to increasing demand for LGBTQ+-affirming mental health care, Julia Schiffman, a leading licensed LGBTQ+ therapist, unveiled the expansion of her virtual therapy services for individuals and couples throughout California. This is part of bolstered efforts to make inclusive, accessible mental health support more available to communities facing systemic barriers.

Julia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), cites a 2024 report from the California LGBTQ Health and Human Services Network showing LGBTQ+ Californians—particularly transgender individuals and queer youth—experiencing notably higher levels of anxiety, depression, and social isolation than the general population. Access to affirming mental health services remains limited in many areas, especially outside major cities. Julia’s expanded services aim to address this gap through trauma-informed, identity-affirming care accessible from any location in the state.

“Many LGBTQ+ individuals feel pressure to hide parts of themselves in therapy,” said Julia. “My goal has always been to create a space where people can show up fully—where their identity is not just accepted, but deeply understood. Expanding my practice statewide means more people can access that kind of care, regardless of their ZIP code.”

The practice offers individual and relationship therapy focused on LGBTQ+ concerns, including identity exploration, self-acceptance, rejection trauma, and navigating non-traditional relationships. Julia brings more than a decade of advocacy work and seven years of clinical experience to her practice. Her background includes working with polyamorous and open relationships, as well as clients recovering from conversion therapy and related forms of discrimination.

This expansion aligns with a bigger trend toward virtual mental health care, particularly among underserved groups. Telehealth has proven especially valuable for LGBTQ+ clients seeking affirming, confidential, and culturally responsive support.

LGBTQ+ therapy shouldn’t feel like another space where you have to edit yourself,” Julia added. “I meet my clients where they are, not where others think they should be. Whether you’re unpacking a lifetime of judgment or just trying to connect more authentically with your partner, this work matters—and everyone deserves support.”

Julia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego and endorsed by top-tier organizations renowned for advancing relationship health and well-being, including AASECT. Her virtual practice meets California licensure requirements and is available to adult clients residing anywhere in the state.
