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.

Combined Resources Will Improve Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Care

For Release 8 a.m. CT/9 a.m. ET, Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2025

The missions of the CMCA and American Heart Association are closely aligned, focusing on comprehensive risk reduction and improving the quality of care and outcomes of patients with cardiometabolic disease. In addition, they both aim to accomplish these goals by supporting a patient-centered, team-based approach.

Founded by Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Mo., under the medical direction of Mikhail Kosiborod, M.D., the CMCA began as a bold initiative to reshape cardiometabolic care. The CMCA was established through the Saint Luke’s Michael and Marlys Haverty Cardiometabolic Center of Excellence, which designed and successfully implemented a novel approach to treating Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and related cardiovascular conditions together - rather than addressing conditions or risk factors separately - providing team-based, comprehensive care specifically tailored to each patient.

The unique care model was recognized in top medical journals, and as health care systems across the country expressed interest in adopting the care model, the CMCA was launched. To date, CMCA members have observed statistically significant improvements in quality of care and clinical outcomes.

“Since launching the Cardiometabolic Center Alliance in 2020, we have witnessed an increasing demand to expand our collaborative team-based care model supporting not only patients, but the care teams and health systems dedicated to their care as well,” said Melissa Magwire, RN, MSN, CDCES, program director of the CMCA. “Our members have contributed substantially to advancing our mission of improving the lives of those living with cardiometabolic disease. By working with the American Heart Association, we now have the opportunity to expand and scale these efforts, enabling us to help even more people live longer, healthier lives.”

The Heart Association and the CMCA have an established collaborative relationship based on their shared mission. The strengths and expertise of CMCA will enhance the Heart Association’s development of a Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Center of Excellence certification program. The CMCA membership includes a suite of clinical protocols, clinical materials, program support for 22 cardiometabolic centers and a five-year longitudinal dataset of patient-level cardiometabolic data. The Heart Association will lead program development, implementation and clinical support for all existing CMCA members.

“The American Heart Association is proud to carry the torch forward toward integrated, patient-centered care for people with cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic conditions,” said Mariell Jessup, M.D., FAHA, Chief Science & Medical Officer of the American Heart Association. “This is a rare opportunity to optimize the synergy between the two organizations and combine efforts and resources for greater impact.”

CMCA leadership will transition to committee and staff roles at the American Heart Association.

About the Cardiometabolic Center Alliance

The Cardiometabolic Center Alliance is a national collaborative of healthcare organizations committed to the mission of improving the quality of care and outcomes in patients with cardiometabolic disease. Across its aligned member sites, care is delivered via a standardized, patient-centered, team-based, comprehensive risk-reduction approach based on a novel care model designed and successfully implemented by Saint Luke’s Michael & Marlys Haverty Cardiometabolic Center of Excellence in Kansas City, Missouri. 

Based on the initial data, under this model the rates of optimal guideline-directed medical therapy substantially increased over the national average, ensuring that patients with T2D receive care that is aimed at both optimizing diabetes management and providing comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction with therapies proven to improve outcomes.
