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.

Breaking: New Guide Highlights Deadly Risks of Meth and Alcohol Use

SAN ANTONIO, TX October 07, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

San Antonio Recovery Center is educating the community about the serious risks of combining methamphetamine and alcohol. In a new blog, the center explains the physiological, psychological, and behavioral effects of this combination and discusses the importance of early intervention and treatment. Understanding how these substances interact can prevent serious health crises and help families recognize when someone needs professional support. The blog also calls attention to education, saying knowledge of polysubstance use is important for community safety and long-term wellness.

"Combining meth and alcohol is extremely risky," the blog states. "The effects can build on each other in unpredictable ways, increasing the chances of overdose, serious health problems, and lasting harm." Methamphetamines speed up the central nervous system, causing things like boosted energy, alertness, anxiety, and in some cases, aggression. Alcohol is a depressant that slows brain and body responses, impairing judgment, coordination, and reaction time. When taken together, the substances can mask each other’s effects, leading to higher consumption and severe medical emergencies.

The blog describes the physical dangers in detail. "When meth speeds up the heart while alcohol slows down the body’s responses, it can create dangerous strain on the cardiovascular system," it explains. Those who take meth may experience things like seizures, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, and respiratory distress. Chronic polysubstance use can cause liver damage, neurological issues, and memory loss.

Understanding these symptoms helps individuals recognize that even occasional use can carry severe consequences.

Behavioral and psychological effects are also significant. Meth heightens agitation, impulsivity, and paranoia, while alcohol reduces inhibitions. "Mixing the two substances can intensify mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, and aggression," the blog notes. The combination increases the risk of accidents, unsafe behaviors, and conflicts, while making it difficult for users to assess their limits or seek help proactively.

The blog highlights trends that underscore the urgency of education. "In Bexar County, Texas, methamphetamine-related overdose deaths rose by 50% between 2020 and 2023 – even as other drug-related deaths declined," it reports. Polysubstance use is growing in prevalence, and understanding its effects is key to prevention and intervention. Awareness of warning signs allows families, friends, and community members to respond before situations escalate.

Recognizing meth and alcohol misuse involves observing both physical and behavioral cues.

The blog explains, "Meth use often appears as heightened energy, rapid speech, or erratic behavior, while alcohol misuse can cause slurred speech, impaired coordination, or memory lapses." Patterns of combined use signal a heightened risk of overdose and long-term harm, highlighting the need for professional support.

Treatment options for meth and alcohol misuse are available and highly effective when individualized. "Getting treatment for meth and alcohol use in San Antonio is possible," the blog assures. San Antonio Recovery Center provides a full continuum of care, including medically supervised detox, outpatient therapy, and long-term recovery support. Their programs address both the physical and psychological impacts of addiction; they help clients develop coping strategies, manage cravings, and rebuild a stable life.

The blog continues to emphasize hope. "While meth and alcohol use can have devastating consequences, recovery is possible with the right support and professional care," it states.

San Antonio Recovery Center combines evidence-based therapies with compassionate guidance to help individuals regain control, restore health, and rebuild relationships.
