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.

Sound Awarded Selective CCBHC Grant

Will Be the Only Provider in King County Awarded the Competitive Grant

TUKWILA, Wash. - October 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Sound, one of King County's largest and most comprehensive providers of behavioral healthcare, announced that it was awarded a highly competitive Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) planning, development and implementation grant. Sound was the only King County provider awarded the four-year grant, of six that applied for it, and is only one of seven recipients in the entire state of Washington. CCBHCs are specially designated clinics that provide a comprehensive range of mental health and substance use services and must meet rigorous standards to be awarded. 

The nearly $1-million-per-year grant will establish comprehensive coordinated care to meet the mental health, substance use, co-occurring disorder and physical health needs of the BIPOC, LGBTQ and other underserved communities. Sound's new 10,000-square-foot facility in Bellevue, located at 13555 Bel-Red Road, will serve as the program site. Under grant requirements, 500 unique individuals will be served annually, for a total of 2,000 unique individuals served through the life of the grant.

To qualify, CCBHCs must offer integrated evidence-based substance use disorder and mental health services, including round-the-clock crisis response and medication-assisted treatment. They must provide timely access, quality reporting and coordination with social services, re-entry and education systems. 

"The CCBHC model is in complete alignment with Sound's commitment to providing quality integrated behavioral healthcare," said Katrina Egner, Executive Vice President and Chief Programs Officer at Sound. "CCBHCs are proven to be an effective framework for providing the accessible, recovery-focused care our clients need."

As the state of Washington takes its own steps toward adopting the CCBHC care delivery model and becoming a CCBHC state, Sound's findings may be used in developing a blueprint and best practices for the industry in the years to come. CCBHCs benefit the community because they greatly improve access and accessibility to high-quality, evidence-based integrated behavioral healthcare. They benefit providers because of the potential to increase reimbursement rates that ensure greater financial sustainability.

"This is significant news," said Patrick Evans, President and CEO of Sound, "and marks the future of behavioral healthcare. I believe our history of innovation, commitment to evidence-based integrated care and comprehensive offerings uniquely qualifies us. This announcement is a key component of our transformation into a more sustainable provider of healthcare services, positioning Sound to be the model behavioral healthcare organization of the future." 

This follows a number of recent strategic changes Sound has put into place as it transforms post-COVID and works to create a more sustainable and viable healthcare business. The organization has consolidated locations, creating more streamlined and efficient operations; completed the sale of Cascade Hall, a 64-bed residential treatment facility, to King County; is reconfiguring its Primary Care practice and continues to evaluate other lines of business that are no longer sustainable in the current funding and reimbursement environment.
