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.

Mothers’ Milk Bank California Hosts 16 Milk Drives — 14 In‑Person & 2 Virtual Events Across California and Nevada During National Breastfeeding Awareness Month 2025

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


San Jose, Calif. — (July 30, 2025) In recognition of National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, Mothers’ Milk Bank California (MMBCA) is hosting 16 milk drives across California and Nevada—including 14 in-person events and 2 virtual drives—to make it easier for families to donate lifesaving breast milk and help meet the growing need for medically fragile infants.

National Breastfeeding Month is a time to elevate awareness, champion breastfeeding parents, and advance policies that foster supportive, breastfeeding-friendly environments. This year’s theme, “Forward Together,” is a powerful call to collective action urging communities, healthcare providers, and policymakers to unite in ensuring every parent receives the support they need to breastfeed successfully and, when able, donate their milk to help nourish babies in need.

The need for donor milk has never been greater. Following the passage of California’s Assembly Bill 3059, which expands equitable access to donor human milk for medically vulnerable infants, MMBCA has seen a 30% increase in demand across California. Milk drives are a powerful way to foster a culture of milk donation—helping meet the growing need for safe, pasteurized donor milk while also offering families a chance to connect, learn, and get pre-screened to become milk donors.

“Donor milk is a vital part of the breastfeeding support ecosystem—especially for babies in neonatal intensive care units who may not have access to their mother’s milk,” said Jennifer Benito-Kowalski, Chief Executive Officer of Mothers’ Milk Bank California. “When we make it easier for families to donate, we make it possible for more babies to thrive. We’re building a movement rooted in equity, access, and the collective power of milk donation.”

The World Health Organization recommends that infants be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life, citing the vital nutrients and immunity-building properties of breast milk during this critical stage of development. Access to breast milk can shape a baby’s lifelong health trajectory. As an accredited member of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA), Mothers’ Milk Bank California (MMBCA) plays a leading role in collecting, pasteurizing, and distributing donor milk to hospitals and outpatient families across the West Coast and beyond. Milk drives are essential to expanding the donor base and ensuring a consistent, lifesaving supply of human milk.

Throughout August, MMBCA invites prospective and current milk donors to join a local or virtual milk drive—building community and helping to normalize milk donation as a natural and impactful extension of breastfeeding support.
