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.

Veterans Benefits Lawyer, David W. Magann Says New Benefits Will be Helpful to Veterans in Suicidal Crisis

veteran scaled 1

Tampa, Florida – The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the VA) announced earlier this year that Veterans in suicidal crisis can receive free emergency healthcare services at any healthcare facility. This healthcare expansion aims to prevent veteran suicide by ensuring no-cost care to veterans during times of crisis. In addition, the development will help veterans address veteran disability benefits and eligibility for other VA services. The VA explains that this change will increase access to acute suicide care to millions of veterans who are not currently receiving VA healthcare services.

Veterans Comprehensive Prevention, Access to Care, and Treatment (COMPACT) Act of 2020

The expansion is part of the Veterans Comprehensive Prevention, Access to Care, and Treatment (COMPACT) Act. The Act is part of a package of crucial mental health provisions to support veterans in eliminating emergency mental health care costs and assist servicemembers in transitioning to civilian life.

COMPACT-eligible servicemembers include the following:
Individuals discharged or released from active duty after more than 24 months of active service under conditions other than dishonorable;
Former armed services members who served more than 100 days under a combat exclusion or in support of contingency operations, who were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable; or
Former armed forces members who were victims of physical sexual assault, sexual battery, or sexual harassment while serving.

These individuals may be eligible regardless of their current VA enrollment status.

Section 201 of the COMPACT Act of 2020

According to Section 201 of the COMPACT Act, the final policy allows the VA to provide various services and benefits to eligible veterans. The policy permits the VA to provide, pay for, or reimburse veterans for emergency suicide care, transportation costs, and follow-up care. Veterans may receive coverage for up to 30 days of inpatient and 90 days of outpatient care at a VA or non-VA facility.

Additionally, the COMPACT Act allows the VA to make referrals for care after the period of emergent suicide care. Further, the VA can determine eligibility for VA services and benefits under the Act.

VA Compensation for Suicidal Ideation

While suicidal ideation does not have a distinct listing under the VA’s Schedule for Rating Disabilities (Rating Schedule), it is often a symptom of other qualifying service-connected conditions. Under the Rating Schedule, suicidal ideation appears as an indicator in diagnosing, evaluating, and rating a veteran’s service-connected disability for a mental disorder.

The Schedule provides that evaluating a mental disorder, the rating agency must consider the frequency, severity, and duration of psychiatric symptoms. Thus, in many cases, suicidal ideation can increase a veteran’s rating for disability benefits. Moreover, other evidence, such as continuous depression, anxiety, and panic, can increase a veteran’s rating and subsequent monthly compensation. However, various factors can impact the availability and amount of disability benefits a disabled veteran can expect to secure.
