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.

Levin Health Explains the Process of Prescribing Medicinal Cannabis

Since most medical cannabis products don't appear on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), patients cannot simply visit a doctor and receive a prescription.

In Australia, medicinal cannabis isn't prescribed in the same way as other, more conventional treatment options. Since most medical cannabis products don't appear on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG)1, patients cannot simply visit a doctor and receive a prescription. Australian sports science company Levin Health is focused on researching, developing and commercialising a range of medicinal cannabis products initially for the treatment of pain, mental health disorders and sport-related ailments. Here they explain what the process looks like for patients.

Levin Health explains that while the first port of call is still discussing symptoms with a doctor, government approval will have to be sought by your prescriber before medicinal cannabis Melbourne and Australia-wide can be prescribed.

Medical marijuana's Australia-wide is normally only prescribed if patients have already tried other treatment options, with little to no improvement in symptoms. 

If the doctor believes medicinal cannabis could be suitable, they can apply for approval via the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)2. The GP takes care of the application along with any approvals necessary in that particular state or territory. 

If the GP is a registered 'Authorised Prescriber' by the TGA2, they usually don't need approval for each individual patient. Otherwise, they can use the TGA's Special Access Scheme3 to obtain approval. According to Levin Health, eligibility is assessed on a "case-by-case basis" and usually only if all other options have been exhausted. Other potential routes a doctor could take is to suggest patients for a clinical trial or refer them to a medical professional with more experience with medicinal cannabis.

If the doctor's request is approved by the TGA, the patient will then receive a prescription. Levin Health explains that pharmacies don't always stock medicinal cannabis products, so they may need to place an order. Approvals take an average of two business days4.

Patients are not able to apply directly to the TGA for medicinal cannabis. Only a doctor or nurse practitioners can obtain approvals and prescribe medical cannabis products such as CBD oil. Australia-wide, medicinal cannabis is a controlled product, so it's important to never buy any products online that claim to contain medicinal cannabis. It can only be legally obtained with a prescription from a doctor.
