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.

Michael Bloom Advocates for Emotional and Cultural Competence in Nursing

By: Get News
Healthcare isn't just about medical procedures, it's about understanding people’s stories, fears, and hopes. A patient may not remember specific medical interventions, but they'll always remember how you made them feel.
Registered Nurse Michael Bloom Highlights the Critical Role of Empathy and Communication in Healthcare

Michael Bloom, a registered nurse with extensive clinical experience, is raising awareness about the importance of emotional care and cultural competence in healthcare settings. Drawing from his personal and professional experiences, Bloom emphasizes that providing effective healthcare goes beyond medical treatments—it involves empathy, understanding, and effective communication.

“Healthcare isn't just about medical procedures,” Bloom explains. “It's about understanding people’s stories, fears, and hopes. A patient may not remember specific medical interventions, but they'll always remember how you made them feel.”

According to recent studies, improved patient communication and emotional support can significantly enhance healthcare outcomes. A 2022 report by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality indicated that effective communication reduces patient anxiety and increases adherence to treatment plans by up to 35%.

Bloom's advocacy is rooted in his own nursing experiences. Early in his career, he witnessed firsthand how crucial language skills are when providing patient care. “There was a patient who spoke only Spanish and was anxious about an emergency procedure,” Bloom recalls. “No interpreter was immediately available. Being able to communicate directly brought immediate relief and highlighted how vital language skills are in healthcare.”

Beyond linguistic abilities, Bloom underscores the necessity of emotional awareness and staying calm under pressure—skills he honed working at Saxbys café during college. “Working at Saxbys taught me to read emotions quickly and handle stressful situations calmly. These abilities are essential in patient care. Being able to understand how someone might be feeling at a glance can mean the difference between their trusting you or not.”

Bloom also advocates for whole-person care, addressing emotional, mental, and spiritual health. He encourages fellow healthcare professionals and aspiring nurses to prioritize empathy and active listening in their practice.

“Always try to understand how you make patients feel,” advises Bloom. “Listen, empathize, and never underestimate kindness.”

Bloom urges everyone—healthcare workers and the broader community—to foster empathy, enhance cultural awareness, and improve emotional intelligence in everyday interactions. Healthcare professionals can contribute by actively listening, learning basic phrases in another language, and recognizing that compassion significantly impacts well-being.

For more information about emotional and cultural competence in healthcare, Bloom encourages personal reflection and proactive learning about cultural sensitivities, mental health awareness, and patient communication strategies.
