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.

On the Golf Course, You Really Have Skin in the Game

By: NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - Mark Twain famously said that golf is a good walk spoiled. For most golfers, the sport is also fraught with a very high risk of getting skin cancer.

On the course, golfers are exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is the primary cause of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The journal Exercise Medicine advises that golf is associated with more UV radiation exposure than other outdoor activities such as fishing, tennis, swimming, gardening, sun-worshipping and sailing.

How common is NMSC? Some 9,500 Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer every day, with more than 3 million new cases recorded yearly – more cases than all other types of cancer combined. One in five Americans will have NMSC in their lifetime, and incident rates are rising.

Dr. Robyn Messing, a physician specializing in diseases of the skin at Family Medicine of Michigan in Grand Ledge and who is married to a golf pro, notes, “New research shows that 27 percent of golfers have been diagnosed with skin cancer, compared to just seven percent of the general population. That really underscores how important it is for golfers to use sunscreen repeatedly during their outings, and to wear protective clothing.”

Popular tee times between 11am and 3pm result in exposure to the sun’s strongest UV rays, leading to the fact that golfers are prone to cancerous lesions on the scalp, shoulders, back of neck and forearms. The more one plays, the higher the cancer risk, as UV exposure is cumulative over one’s lifetime.

Professional golfer Rory Sabbatini had a squamous cell carcinoma removed from his face; Adam Scott was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, another type of NMSC; and Aron Price reported three incidents of NMSC before doctors diagnosed him in 2010 with melanoma.

The good news for anyone with NMSC is that dermatologists around the country now offer a nonsurgical treatment with a 99%+ cure rate that eliminates cutting, surgical scarring and the possible need for reconstructive surgery. Called image-guided SRT or the GentleCure Experience™, it’s covered by Medicare and most insurance plans. Information is available at www.GentleCure.com.

On the golf course, water and sand traps reflect the sun’s rays and increase your UV exposure. All the more reason to stay on fairways and greens!
