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.

"VITAS Healthcare, with more than 20 years of dedicated support and innovative programming, has helped to advance the mission and vision of the NBNA founders, and thus we are delighted to honor them with this inaugural NBNA Founders Spirit Award," stated Dr. Sheldon D. Fields, 14th President of the National Black Nurses Association, Inc.

The Founders Spirit Award is a presidential honor. Its name is meant to evoke the enduring spirit of the original founders who created NBNA more than 50 years ago against the odds and amidst great adversity. VITAS has shown a documented history of dedicated support and extraordinary service to NBNA, going above and beyond and offering educational programming and advocacy of the mission and vision of the association.

“We are deeply honored to accept this award on behalf of all of our dedicated teams who deliver compassionate care to patients and families every day,” said VITAS Vice President of Community Affairs Diane Deese. “Among the many organizations that NBNA collaborates with, we are grateful to be the first recipient of this significant award. The same spirit and tenacity that cultivated NBNA from its inception—the refusal to give up—continues to inspire our efforts to deliver equitable, high-quality end-of-life care to our communities.”

The 20-plus-year journey between VITAS and NBNA has been marked by many collaborative initiatives reflecting a shared commitment to healthcare excellence and equity. Notable milestones include:

  • 2003: Speaking at NBNA’s 31st Annual Conference.
  • 2007: Presenting the first NBNA End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium training program, equipping nurses with essential skills for compassionate end-of-life care, and launching the Annual NBNA/Esther Colliflower End-of-life Care Scholarship.
  • 2012: Sponsoring the “Under 40 Forum” to foster the development of young nursing professionals, which continues today.
  • 2015: Chartering the first VITAS nursing chapter, the “Greater Fort Lauderdale Broward County Chapter.”
  • 2017: Passing NBNA’s “End of Life Care Resolution” and recognizing the provision of over 20,000 continuing education credit hours to NBNA members, empowering nurses with knowledge and skills to deliver exceptional care—recognized after a decade and continuing today.
  • 2022: Launching the national Goals of Care Preceptorship Program at NBNA’s 50th Annual Conference, strengthening the collective mission to provide compassionate and culturally sensitive care to diverse communities.
  • 2024: Presenting three master class sessions, including “Inclusion, Equity and the Importance of Diversity for Patients With an Advanced Illness,” at the 52nd Annual Conference.

A long-standing champion of NBNA, VITAS has been a consistent and visible advocate in celebrating Black excellence in nursing and promoting healthcare equity. The groundbreaking partnership continues to flourish, driven by mutual commitment to healthcare excellence and growth.
