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.

Psychemedics Releases First-Ever Education Insights Report: Uncovering Drug Trends in Educational Institutions Through Hair Testing

DALLAS, Sept. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Psychemedics Corporation (NASDAQ: PMD), a global leader in hair testing for drugs of abuse, is excited to announce the release of its first-ever Education Insights Report. This report provides an in-depth analysis of drug trends within educational institutions, shedding light on the growing challenges schools face in maintaining a drug-free environment for students and staff.

Following the success of our inaugural Workforce Insights Report earlier this year, we continue our commitment to providing groundbreaking insights based on data from hair testing. For the Education Insights Report, Psychemedics analyzed thousands of hair samples collected from students and staff in educational settings across the United States. The data offer valuable perspectives on drug use trends over the past five years, supporting schools in their efforts to combat substance abuse.

The 2024 Education Insights Report reveals key findings, including:

  • Rising Drug Positivity Rates: The overall positivity rate for drug tests in the education sector has increased by 25%, rising from 3.9% to 4.9% over the last five years.
  • Top Drugs Detected: Marijuana, nicotine, amphetamines, and cocaine were among the most commonly detected substances. Marijuana was present in 57.6% of positive tests, with nicotine following at 17.9%.
  • Emerging Delta-8 Trend: National data reveals that 11% of 12th-grade students used Delta-8 THC in the past year, a new and less understood substance gaining popularity among teens.
  • Challenges of Legalization: As marijuana legalization expands across states, schools are facing increased challenges in preventing underage access. The report highlights the importance of health and wellness-focused drug testing programs to create safer learning environments.

“Our Education Insights Report marks a pivotal moment for Psychemedics as we expand our focus to address the growing concerns of substance abuse within schools and universities,” said Brian Hullinger, Chief Executive Officer at Psychemedics. “By leveraging our innovative hair testing solutions, we aim to provide educational institutions with the tools they need to effectively monitor and address drug use, ensuring the safety and well-being of both students and staff.”

The report underscores the growing importance of drug testing within educational settings, as schools across the nation work to maintain safe and healthy environments. With hair testing offering long detection windows and unmatched accuracy, Psychemedics is at the forefront of helping schools manage these critical challenges.
