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.

David M. Magann, P.A. Reports on VA’s Innovative Approach to PTSD with Psychedelic Research

PTSD Treatment Veterans 1 scaled 1 panorama 9ddc91c584f1396077142070b4756316 opawun8c420h 1

Tampa, Florida – The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently announced that it plans to fund research into the use of psychedelic substances to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

While several methods currently exist to treat PTSD, the use of psychedelic medications is new territory. One of the most commonly cited substances for further research is midomafetamine (MDMA), also known as “ecstasy” or “molly.” Early efforts to use MDMA in PTSD treatment have shown benefits for some veterans.

MDMA use is currently not legal in the United States. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declined to approve MDMA for PTSD treatment in June 2024, saying that more testing is needed. Pharmaceutical company Lykos, which has been performing research on MDMA for PTSD, agreed that additional clinical trials are necessary.

Currently, only sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil) have FDA approval for use in treating PTSD. Research supports the use of certain related medications, including fluoxetine (Prozac) and venlafaxine (Effexor). However, these medications are only “conditionally recommended” by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The APA recommends non-medication therapies as a first line of treatment for PTSD.

Because military service includes the risk of exposure to potentially traumatic events, the rate of PTSD is slightly higher in veterans than in civilians. The VA estimates that about seven percent of veterans experience PTSD in their lifetimes, compared to 6 percent of the general population. The rate is higher for veterans who deployed or those who served in combat zones. Other factors, like military occupation, geographic location, and the type of enemy faced can also contribute to a higher PTSD risk.

PTSD is linked to several health conditions, including an early risk of mortality. For veterans living with PTSD, research into new therapies is important – and so is access to the benefits these veterans need today.

While the VA does provide benefits to veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, navigating the system to access those benefits can be challenging. Tampa attorney David W. Magann specializes in helping veterans access the disability benefits they need for PTSD, Gulf War Syndrome, and other conditions.
