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.

New Lung Cancer Research Offers Patients Hope

By: NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - New research in the treatment of small cell lung cancer offers hope to patients.     

Until recently, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) was considered a forgotten cancer, but now there is a new type of chemotherapy treatment and promising research into targeted therapies that may shrink the tumors of a subset of small cell lung cancer patients.     

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is currently only treatable by chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and it is difficult to identify, so most patients are already an in advanced stage of cancer when they are diagnosed. SCLC spreads quickly and is resistant to many treatments; it also comes back more aggressively after treatment. However, researchers have identified a subset of SCLC patients who appear to respond to drugs that are already proven cancer fighters; the proteins in the tumors of these patients make them more receptive to targeted therapies, according to the researchers.   

“The next step in the research is enrolling patients in clinical trials, which are safe and the gold standard of care for SCLC patients,” says Dr. Dwight Owen, a medical oncologist at The Ohio State University.     

Dr. Owen recommends that all adults aged 50 years and older with a history of smoking, or who are current smokers, should be screened for lung cancer. However, “anyone with lungs can have lung cancer,” he emphasized.     

Meanwhile, Dr. Owen encourages anyone with a lung cancer diagnosis to ask their doctor about clinical trials, which are often the best resource for the most advanced treatment.     

“Clinical trial research determines if a promising new treatment, drug or device is safe and effective. For many patients, these trials are the best treatment option and provide new treatments that help them live,” he says.     

Many clinical trials are using telemedicine to “take the trial to the patient” to make clinical trials more accessible to more patients.     

“You should always ask questions to make sure you understand what you will need to do to be part of a clinical trial and make sure you are comfortable,” Dr. Owen explains.     

Be sure to ask your medical team about whether clinical trials could be part of your treatment.
