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.

TOKYO, JAPAN (Merxwire) – As Japan’s strawberry season approaches, this delicious fruit not only pleases the taste buds but also acts as a natural protector of cardiovascular health. Recent scientific findings reveal that strawberries can reduce cholesterol levels, alleviate chronic inflammation in the body, protect cognitive function, and promote heart health. With the growing evidence of strawberries’ benefits for both the brain and heart, the allure of this seasonal fruit becomes even more vital.

Scientific studies have shown that strawberries are rich in polyphenols and fibre. These two plant-based nutrients help lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (commonly known as “bad cholesterol”) and triglycerides while reducing inflammation in the body. This, in turn, protects cardiovascular health. A study published in the Food Science and Nutrition Review confirms that strawberries reduce cholesterol and help mitigate inflammation, a critical factor in heart disease development.

A University of California, Davis team reviewed 47 clinical trials and 13 observational studies between 2000 and 2023. Their findings suggest consuming 1 to 4 cups of strawberries daily can significantly improve cardiovascular and metabolic health. For individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease, regular strawberry consumption can reduce the chances of a heart attack. Regular strawberry consumption supports heart health, whether fresh, frozen, or freeze-dried.

In addition to heart health, strawberries have been found to benefit brain health. The flavonoids in strawberries act as powerful antioxidants that help slow cognitive decline by combating oxidative stress, which delays brain ageing. This means strawberries support heart health and help maintain sharp cognitive function, effectively preventing degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

With Japan’s strawberry season in full swing, the variety of strawberries available can be overwhelming. But this is also the joy of the season- the opportunity to discover new and exciting strawberry varieties. Based on factors such as sweetness, acidity, and texture, here are some of the most popular strawberry varieties:

Amaou(あまおう)

You can feel different parts’ sweet and sour levels when you eat it from beginning to end. Not only are strawberries delicious, they are also great for your health.
