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.

Paying For Mental Health Care Is Increasing Debt For Americans According To New Data

New data from NPR shows that Americans are paying more for mental health care than ever before, and it’s becoming a burden on their finances. With so many out there needing help, getting the care they need can feel overwhelming or impossible, especially when money is tight.

The more Americans reach out for mental health care, the higher the debt burden we all take on. Despite not having subsidized health care, the U.S. pays more per person for medical care than many other countries with single-payer systems.

So why is this happening, and what can we do about it? Here’s what you should know.

The cost of mental health care is on the rise

Mental health care is becoming more expensive than ever before. According to NPR, the cost of mental health services has been rising at a rate that’s faster than the rate of inflation.

In addition, the ripple effect caused by increasing costs leads many to end up further in debt from interest rates, late fees, and other expenses. These extras add up quickly, making it nearly impossible to get out from under debt, which can cause more stress and worsen mental health. It’s no surprise that many are seeking debt management solutions, weighing the benefits of debt avalanche vs. debt consolidation strategies to pay for the care they need.

Mental health care is becoming a necessity

The demand for mental health care is on the rise, and it’s not going to go away any time soon. More and more people are realizing they need help with their mental health, which is increasing demand leading to higher prices for services, and putting a lot of people in debt.

Medical bills aren’t the only costs that go into mental health care

Mental health care doesn’t just cost money on its own; it also costs money on top of medical bills. For example, mental health care can often be required as part of a medical treatment plan. This means that the cost of care is already higher before any medical bills are factored in.

What can we do about it?

For starters, we can try to get more affordable coverage for mental health care. This is something that the government can help with by creating better incentives for insurers and providers. It’s essential to have access to mental health care regardless of your financial situation. That means everyone should have access to affordable mental health clinics and programs.

Also, it’s important to be mindful of how debt affects our mental health. Ignoring the psychological costs debt has to someone already struggling with mental health can lead to even more problems. The more we normalize talking about mental health care, the less stigma will be attached and the more avenues those who need help will have.

Neither is an easy task, but it’s something that we need to start doing if we want to reduce the cost of mental health care and help those who need it the most.

The bottom line

As the cost of mental health care continues to rise, so too does the debt incurred by Americans. This debt can have a devastating impact on our mental health and finances, and it’s something that we need to start paying attention to.
