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.

Oregon's Historic Non-Profit Rehab Challenges Alcohol Stigma and Its Lasting Effects

1 in every 2000 Oregon residents die because of alcohol use yearly. This is why Portland-based rehab center Serenity Lane recently published an article discussing how stigma contributes to these deaths. Their article specifically looks at “social alcoholics” and the general misunderstandings surrounding both alcohol use and alcoholism.

To start the piece, Serenity Lane highlights how prevalent alcohol use is across the state and country. They immediately point out one of the most common problems about people’s knowledge of alcohol use. “(People) see alcohol use disorders, sometimes referred to as alcoholism, as a one-dimensional condition. This leads to them not recognizing the signs in themselves or a loved one who doesn’t fit the ‘stereotypical bill’ of someone with an alcohol use disorder.”

The focus of the piece, social alcoholics, is not a recognized medical condition but rather a societal label. It’s defined as people who “only have noticeable symptoms of an alcohol use disorder when they’re at gatherings with alcohol involved.” The point that Serenity Lane wants readers to take away from this piece is that many symptoms of alcohol use go unnoticed. This is what leads to labels such as these being created and alcohol use disorders going untreated.

“There is only one condition – alcohol use disorder. This condition, however, manifests uniquely for every individual. It can range in severity, impact, financial strain, and more. That doesn’t make it any less of a health concern but rather changes what outward symptoms each person may display.” The rehab center explains. “Terms like ‘social alcoholic’ or ‘high-functioning alcoholism’ can both be traced back to stigma and even alcoholism denial. They’re still forms of an alcohol use disorder, just ones that people don’t recognize or accept as easily.”

The next portion of the piece walks readers through how someone might become a “social alcoholic.” This includes everything from peer pressure to a lack of education about health and alcohol use. This is why they dedicate an entire section to the behavioral and physical signs of a “social alcoholic.” This gives readers an easy-to-access reference for spotting these symptoms in themselves or loved ones.

As the piece comes to a close, Serenity Lane takes a moment to highlight the potential consequences that can develop from drinking socially. This includes short and long-term effects. Some of these include job loss, relationship strain, and brain damage. For a full list, as well as treatment options for alcohol use, readers can check out the article linked above.

All the programs they offer have been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
