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.

CCHR Warns of Greater Heat Wave Danger to Patients on Psychiatric Drugs, As New Research Finds Heat-Related Deaths Climbing

Summer heat can worsen the adverse effects of many psychiatric drugs – interfering with the body’s cooling mechanism and causing the individual to be less aware of overheating, raising the risk of heat-related illness, warns Citizens Commission on Human Rights.

With temperatures soaring across the United States, Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) warns that people taking psychiatric drugs are at a greater risk of heat-related illness, including heat exhaustion and life-threatening heat stroke, and should take adequate precautions to prevent it.

New research, published in JAMA Network, found that the rate of heat-related deaths in the U.S. increased by 63% over the past 25 years. While the researchers lacked data on vulnerable subgroups, other research has shown that patients taking psychiatric drugs are especially susceptible to heat-related illness, with nearly double the risk of death during a heat wave.

Many psychiatric drugs can interfere with the body’s cooling mechanism or cause the individual to be less aware of signs of overheating and less likely to take steps to cool down. As a result, body temperature can rise and heat-related illness occur, ranging from the mild discomfort of heat cramps to more serious heat exhaustion or life-threatening heat stroke. 

Antipsychotics pose a particularly high risk of heat-related illness. The drugs reduce sweating, the body’s natural means of cooling, as well as reduce the urge for users to cool themselves by drinking fluids or removing excess clothing. Even a short time in very hot weather can cause a rapid rise in body temperature in people taking antipsychotics.

"Patients who are prescribed antipsychotics should be aware of the potentially fatal adverse events that can occur from these medications,” researchers advised in a case report on antipsychotic-induced hyperthermia.

Stimulant-type ADHD drugs are known to raise body temperature and interfere with the body’s ability to cool itself down, which raises the risk of heat-related illness for active children during the summer. 

Newer antidepressants – selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) – can cause dehydration, which on top of sweating in hot weather can lead to the body overheating. Older tricyclic antidepressants can decrease sweating, impairing the body’s ability to shed heat and resulting in body temperatures rising excessively. 

To avoid medical emergencies from dangerously high body temperatures, doctors recommend staying well-hydrated, avoiding overexertion, and wearing light, loose-fitting clothing during hot weather – precautions particularly important for those at increased risk of heat-related adverse effects from taking psychiatric drugs.

About the company: The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was co-founded in 1969 by members of the Church of Scientology and the late psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry Thomas Szasz, M.D., recognized by many academics as modern psychiatry’s most authoritative critic, to eradicate abuse and restore human rights and dignity to the field of mental health.
