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.

UPDATE - YourUpdateTV Speaks with Alanna Morris-Simon from Bayer to Discuss Key Risk Factors for Heart Disease and Resources That Can Help

February is American Heart Month - Expert with Bayer Discusses Key Risk Factors for Heart Disease and Shares Practical Tips for Improving Heart Health

NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With cardiovascular (CVD) disease remaining the leading cause of death in the U.S., it’s more important than ever to help people understand their unique heart health risks and the importance of being their own advocate. Recently, Alanna Morris-Simon, MD, MSc, Senior Medical Director at Bayer, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour during American Heart Month to discuss risk factors for heart disease, along with practical tips and resources that can help.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/9668fa91-b3e7-4ae6-9c04-92068da09f51

Heart disease doesn’t always come with warning signs, and many people may not even know they’re at risk. According to the AHA’s latest Heart and Stroke update, on average, someone in the U.S. dies of CVD every 34 seconds—that’s 2,580 U.S. deaths from CVD each day.

Heart disease risk factors fall into two distinct categories: those we can control and those we can’t. It’s essential to know where you stand and take proactive steps to manage what’s within your control.

Controllable Risk Factors Include:

  • Diet: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can significantly improve heart health.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity—ideally at least 150 minutes per week—helps strengthen the heart and reduce risk.
  • Sleep: Ensure you're getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
  • Substance Use: Avoid tobacco, limit alcohol intake, and manage stress levels.

Non-Controllable Risk Factors Include:

  • Family history of heart disease
  • Age
  • Race and ethnicity

Dr. Morris-Simon also shared some actionable tips to help people manage their risk factors. These includes:

  1. Manage What You Can Control: Focus on maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle—exercise, eat well, sleep sufficiently, and reduce stress.
  2. Know Your Medical History: Talk to your healthcare provider about any heart-related concerns and ensure you’re receiving the appropriate treatments, medications, and tests.
  3. Advocate for Yourself: Your conversations with your doctor are critical. Ask questions, understand your risk factors, and follow their advice for managing conditions that may affect your heart health.

Heart disease affects everyone, but certain populations are more vulnerable. For example, Black Americans have the highest risk, with heart disease accounting for nearly one in every four deaths. Factors such as access to medical care and affordability also contribute to this disparity.

The Bayer Aspirin Heart Health Risk Assessment, available at seeyourrisks.com, is a simple, two-minute tool that can help identify potential risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years and give you information you can use to speak with your doctor.
