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.

Aging Technology has a Multiplier Effect Like Investment in Space Technology

WASHINGTON, Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Henry Mahncke, CEO of Posit Science, the maker of the brain health and fitness app BrainHQ, will address the 6th Annual What’s Next Innovation Summit at the National Press Club in Washington DC and will discuss how innovation in aging technologies touches everyone’s life.

“Since the 1960s, we’ve seen how America’s investment in NASA has resulted in all sorts of innovations that impact our daily lives,” Dr. Mahncke observed. “It’s a seemingly unrelated and endless list, including GPS, local weather forecasts, digital photography, wireless headsets, self-driving cars, cell phones, memory foam, computer chips, air purifiers, cordless tools, shelf stable foods, CAT scans, LEDs, athletic shoes, modern home insulation, and freeze-dried food.”

“My own journey with the neurotechnology we first developed to help aging older adults is filled with the same sense of wonder about all the unexpected innovations it has led us to,” Dr. Mahncke continued.

The BrainHQ neuroplasticity-based technology was first developed in the early 2000s to address the cognitive decline associated with normal aging. Almost immediately, Posit Science established a global network of independent university-based researchers to run studies evaluating the efficacy of the brain exercises. There are now hundreds of published studies on the efficacy of BrainHQ cognitive assessments and brain training.

“We started by building computerized brain exercises to address the progressive decline in mental speed of processing, which begins in our late 20s and accumulates with passing decades into age-related cognitive decline,” Dr. Mahncke noted. “We found we could reverse effects of aging on cognitive function.”

Studies in aging have shown significant improvement in standard measures of cognitive function (attention, speed, memory, reasoning, decision-making) in standard gerontological measures of quality of life (maintaining independent living, general health, health-related quality of life, mood, confidence), and in real world activities (gait, balance, fall risk, driving safety).

“Then, we learned from researchers that the underlying technology also applied to many health conditions.” Dr. Mahncke continued.

More than 100 studies have been published across many health conditions, including brain injuries (mild to severe traumatic brain injuries, and brain fog associated with cancer, COVID, HIV, and heart failure); mental illnesses (depression, anxiety/stress/fatigue, schizophrenia, bipolar) and neurodegenerative diseases (MCI/pre-dementia, Alzheimer’s/dementia, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis).

“Perhaps, most surprisingly, we learned from American football legend Tom Brady, that you could also use the technology to make very high functioning brains even better,” Dr. Mahncke added. BrainHQ is now used by many peak performers, including elite athletes, special forces, think tank workers, police, emergency services, and SWAT teams.

“To underscore the analogy that investing in aging technology has unexpected multiplier effects — akin to space technology — we are now involved in research for NASA about how to build astronauts’ cognitive readiness to cope with the known cognitively corrosive impact of long space missions,” Dr. Mahncke concluded.

BrainHQ exercises have shown benefits in hundreds of studies. Such benefits include gains in cognition (attention, speed, memory, decision-making), in quality of life (depressive symptoms, confidence and control, health-related quality of life) and in real-world activities (health outcomes, balance, driving, workplace activities). BrainHQ is offered by leading health and Medicare Advantage plans, by leading medical centers, clinics, and communities, and by organizations focused on peak performance.
