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.

VA’s $1.5 Million Study on Psychedelic Therapy for PTSD is a Step Forward, Says Legal Help for Veterans

Legal Help for Veterans

Northville, Michigan – Legal Help for Veterans, a Michigan-based veterans disability law firm, applauds the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for its recent announcement of a $1.5 million grant to study MDMA-assisted therapy as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder in veterans. The research marks the VA’s first federally funded study on the efficacy and safety of psychedelics since the 1960s.

The five-year study, set to begin in early 2025, will take place at the Providence VA Medical Center in Rhode Island and the West Haven VA Medical Center in Connecticut. Researchers from Brown University and Yale University will lead the clinical trials, which will use pharmaceutical-grade MDMA and strict safety protocols to enhance psychotherapy sessions for participating veterans. The research aims to explore the potential benefits of MDMA, which is thought to promote emotional openness, reduce fear and foster introspection during therapy.

Jim Fausone, a VA disability attorney at Legal Help for Veterans, emphasized the importance of the initiative. “This study reflects the VA’s commitment to exploring innovative treatments for veterans who face unique mental health challenges,” he said. “Traditional therapies don’t always provide the relief veterans need, and MDMA-assisted therapy has the potential to offer a new path forward for those who have not found success with conventional methods.”

While MDMA is classified as a Schedule I drug by the Drug Enforcement Administration due to a “high potential for abuse,” it received a Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for its potential to treat PTSD. However, veterans are advised not to self-medicate and to consult with their healthcare providers regarding treatment options.

There are concerns about potential abuse if MDMA is reclassified to a lower schedule and becomes more readily available. VA officials said the research initiative is part of an effort to collect scientific evidence on the efficacy and safety of psychedelic-assisted therapy.

“Veterans often experience PTSD and other life-altering mental health struggles, and it is critical to continue pushing boundaries to find effective solutions,” added Fausone. “We are hopeful this research will pave the way for safe and accessible therapies for former service members.”



The attorneys at Legal Help for Veterans have a national practice representing veterans from across the country. They have helped veterans collect over $10,000,000 in future and retroactive benefits.
