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.

Concussions: What Athletes and Parents Need to Know from Intermountain Health

An Intermountain Health sports medicine physician wants parents and athletes to know the signs of a concussion, and how to properly treat it.

(PRUnderground) August 25th, 2025

Back-to-school can also mean back-to-sports for many students. Intermountain Health wants athletes, parents, and coaches to know the signs of a concussion, and how to properly treat it.

A concussion is a mild form of traumatic brain injury which occurs after a sudden jolt or blow to the head. Symptoms can include:

  • Dizziness
  • Confusion
  • Disorientation
  • Memory loss

Darren Campbell, MD, a sports medicine physician at Intermountain Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah, explains that person doesn’t have to be knocked out to experience a concussion. A study by the US Centers for Disease Control found that of high school athletes who suffered concussions, 40 percent report their coaches didn’t know the symptoms.

Symptoms can get worse before they get better, and last days or weeks. Parents may notice some changes in the behavior of their child including:

  • Having trouble focusing in school
  • Being more tired than usual
  • Having trouble sleeping
  • Sensitivity to light or noise

Dr. Campbell says people should watch out for severe symptoms including double vision, vomiting, loss of consciousness, slurred speech or strange behavior. If someone experiences these, they should seek emergency medical care.

Utah law requires that any athlete suspected of a concussion must be removed from the event and cannot return to play until being cleared by a qualified healthcare provider.

What makes diagnosing the severity of a concussion difficult is that doctors often don’t know what an athlete’s cognitive function was before their brain injury. That’s why experts suggest doing tests to determine a baseline of cognitive function before the season starts.

Treating a concussion can be complicated, and changes from person to person.

Dr. Campbell says one of the more important steps are rest, and to follow a regular sleep schedule. This also means avoiding late nights.

Athletes should not continue to play their sport and can recover faster if they get rest. Proper nutrition and appropriate exercise that does not aggravate symptoms or have risk of physical contact are also helpful.
