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.

James Brady Washburn Calls for Smarter, Slower Rollouts in Healthcare Technology

Franklin, Tennessee healthcare CEO urges leaders to align technology adoption with staff training for better patient outcomes

Franklin, TN - September 15, 2025 - James Brady Washburn, CEO of Mid South Wound LLC and former Division I athlete, is using his platform to highlight an often-overlooked challenge in healthcare: the rush to implement new technology without giving staff enough time to adapt.

“Rollout speed should never outpace learning speed,” Washburn says in “An Interview with Franklin, Tennessee’s James Brady Washburn.” “If your team isn’t ready, even the best technology will underperform—and in healthcare, that can directly impact patient care.”

A 2023 HealthTech survey found that 62% of healthcare leaders felt pressured to adopt new technology faster than their teams could realistically integrate it. This rush often results in up to 40% more user errors during the first 90 days of implementation, according to the Journal of Medical Systems. Washburn warns that in wound care, where precise tracking and timely intervention are critical, those errors can mean delayed healing or unnecessary complications.

A Coach’s Approach to Technology Adoption Washburn draws on his athletic background to explain his philosophy. “In sports, you don’t throw an entire playbook at a rookie on day one. You give them core plays, let them master those, then build from there. It should be the same with technology in healthcare.”

He encourages organizations to break implementations into smaller phases, build confidence at each step, and create space for ongoing feedback.

What People Can Do Now Washburn believes the responsibility isn’t just on executives. “Whether you’re a department lead, a nurse, or a tech, speak up when you need more training,” he says. “Ask for hands-on practice before going live. The goal isn’t to meet a deadline—it’s to improve patient care.”

Why It Matters Beyond Healthcare The problem isn’t limited to hospitals. The same dynamic plays out in schools, small businesses, and community organizations adopting new tools. McKinsey research shows that projects with well-paced rollouts are 70% more likely to hit performance targets than those with rushed timelines.

Call to Action Washburn urges professionals in all industries to take an honest look at their own implementation timelines. “Ask yourself: Are we more focused on getting it done fast, or getting it done right?” he says. “Your answer will determine your results.”
