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.

Conversations Today to Empower Tomorrow: VITAS® Healthcare Elevates National Healthcare Decisions Day

MIAMI, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Only one in three adults in the United States have a written advance directive, a document critical in providing guidance to medical teams regarding one’s end-of-life wishes. As a pioneer and national leader in hospice and palliative care, VITAS Healthcare advocates for National Healthcare Decisions Day (April 16) and advance care planning––regardless of a person’s age or health status. In recognition of healthcare professionals’ critical role in the process, VITAS offers resources to support them.

A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link.

On April 16, VITAS will host a free webinar, Advance Directives and Advanced Care Planning, exploring the history, application and types of advance directives. VITAS Regional Medical Director Heather Veeder, MD, will provide practical advice to help healthcare professionals engage in difficult but necessary conversations with patients and families/caregivers.

“Although initiating the dialogue can be uncomfortable, the conversation empowers patients and removes the decision-making burden from families,” says Dr. Veeder. “If someone becomes unable to make decisions for themselves, the only way to ensure the care they receive aligns with their wishes is through an advance directive.”

Dr. Veeder also emphasizes the critical nature of goals-of-care conversations at the end of life. An advance directive—comprised of a living will and a medical power of attorney—can help ensure a patient is not subjected to aggressive or unwanted medical intervention when curative care is no longer effective or desired. Goal-concordant care also improves satisfaction; patients are more likely to be satisfied with the care team if their end-of-life wishes are respected.

Dr. Veeder oversees the medical care and treatment of VITAS patients in a variety of care settings, including homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities and inpatient units throughout Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri and Kansas. She also consults with and serves as a resource to healthcare professionals on the benefits of hospice and palliative care. In 2024, she was a recipient of the prestigious Charley Wasson Hospice Advocacy Award in recognition of her commitment and service to the hospice mission.

Dr. Veeder received her medical degree and completed a family medicine residency at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. She completed a hospice and palliative medicine fellowship at UT Health San Antonio. She is board certified in family medicine as well as hospice and palliative medicine.

Nurses, case managers and physicians can receive continuing education credits following webinar attendance and completion of an online, post-event evaluation. The webinar is free, and pre-registration is required.
