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.

Now Open: VITAS® Healthcare Inpatient Hospice Unit in Fort Worth

FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Easier access to compassionate end-of-life care is now available for patients and families in Fort Worth and surrounding communities. The new freestanding VITAS Healthcare Inpatient Hospice Unit (IPU), located within five miles of the medical district, provides high-quality hospice services in a homelike environment for patients nearing the end of life. The IPU is expected to care for more than 500 patients each year, particularly those whose pain and symptoms cannot be managed effectively at home.

A grand opening celebration was held to commemorate the addition to the Fort Worth community. Local dignitaries, healthcare professionals and partner organizations gathered to tour the facility and learn more about the services VITAS offers hospice-eligible patients and their families. The Fort Worth Chamber also held a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“As the nation’s leading provider of end-of-life care, VITAS has had the privilege of serving Fort Worth for 37 years,” General Manager Eric Dengler said. “We look forward to continuing to develop these deep roots in the community with the opening of this IPU. It is part of our ongoing efforts to meet the growing demand for specialized end-of-life care services, and we are grateful to all those who have and continue to entrust us with their patients’ and loved ones’ care.”

Located at 5651 Bridge Street in Fort Worth, the newly renovated facility features 12 private patient rooms with flat-screen TVs and overnight accommodations for visitors. Two shared family rooms, a quiet room and a relaxing outdoor area with three courtyards offer extra space for large families and loved ones to gather. Pets are welcome and visitors have access 24/7.

Hospice patients receive individualized care plans aligned to their specific goals and wishes. Additional services that the VITAS IPU in Fort Worth offers include:

  • A nationally recognized veterans program and on-site memorial for each military branch.
  • Bereavement care for family members and loved ones.
  • Memory Bears, hand-crafted from a loved one’s clothing that serve as huggable keepsakes for a patient’s surviving family.
  • Respiratory therapy for those with complex and specialized respiratory care needs.
  • Additional therapy services, such as physical, occupational and speech therapy, when appropriate.

VITAS hospice experts are available around-the-clock to provide high-acuity care for seriously ill patients and manage complex modalities as needed, such as intravenous therapies for pain management, hydration, antibiotics and more, to enhance quality of life. Patients at the IPU can also receive high-flow oxygen, non-invasive ventilation, compassionate extubations and more.

To meet their physical, spiritual and psychosocial needs, hospice patients receive quality care from an interdisciplinary team of experienced and compassionate healthcare professionals, including a physician, nurse, hospice aide, social worker, chaplain, volunteer and bereavement specialist. VITAS offers additional support for patients and families with 24-hour telecare services and a home medical equipment division.

VITAS has been providing hospice services in Texas for 40 years, serving more than 1,000 patients and their families each day. VITAS cares for patients wherever they call home—in a skilled nursing center, assisted living community, private residence and inpatient centers at Carrollton Regional Medical Center, Methodist Dallas Medical Center and now in Fort Worth.

Clinicians can make seamless referrals 24/7/365 through the VITAS Healthcare mobile app or by calling 800.93.VITAS. Learn more about end-of-life care services and explore rewarding career and volunteer opportunities at VITAS.com.
