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.

Olympic Gold Medalist and Public Health Advocate to Raise Awareness for Routine Blood Testing

 

AUSTIN, Texas – Babson Diagnostics today announced a three-year partnership with Olympic gold medalist and public health advocate Gabby Thomas to promote accessible healthcare and raise awareness about the importance of routine blood testing through its patient-friendly BetterWay™ blood testing.

Beyond being an elite athlete, Gabby graduated from Harvard with a degree in Neuroscience and earned a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from University of Texas, Austin. She now serves as a public health advocate, which includes directing a hypertension prevention program and volunteering at an Austin clinic serving uninsured and underserved populations.

Being at the top of her sport means Gabby keeps a close eye on her health, and that includes regular blood work. She believes everyone should have access to the same proactive monitoring. That’s why she’s partnering with Babson to promote BetterWay, which gives patients access to a broad menu of common diagnostic tests using a fingertip blood collection system that has earned high patient satisfaction ratings.

“Making healthcare more accessible is something I really care about, and BetterWay’s fingertip testing helps remove the barriers so many people face,” said Gabby Thomas. “Improving the patient experience matters, because when people feel comfortable and supported, they’re more likely to follow through with care. When care is more approachable, it can truly change lives.”

“We’re proud to partner with Gabby. She embodies the values that define Babson and BetterWay: integrity, caring, and a commitment to excellence,” said Web Golinkin, President of Babson Diagnostics. “We share her passion for public health and look forward to working closely with her to advance it.”
