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.

News Source: Simpson

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 4, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month begins in June, Simpson, a Pennsylvania regional retirement system that includes Simpson House, Simpson Meadows, and Jenner’s Pond, announces the launch of Vibrant Minds, a new program promoting brain health and cognitive wellness.

The program also includes immersive staff training and engagement resources, ensuring that every aspect of the dining and hospitality experience contributes to brain health and resident well-being.

“At Simpson, we take a proactive approach to wellness, and believe that nourishing the mind is just as important as nourishing the body,” said Carol McKinley, President and CEO of Simpson. “With the Vibrant Minds program, we are creating an environment that stimulates cognitive function and fosters meaningful connections, with nutrient-rich meals specifically curated to enhance brain health.”

OVER 500 SCIENCE-BASED RECIPES ARE INCLUDED, FEATURING:

  • Brain-boosting ingredients such as leafy greens, berries, and omega-3-rich fish
  • Plant-based proteins and healthy unsaturated fats
  • Microbiome-friendly foods that support the gut-brain axis
  • Limited processed foods, sodium, and added sugars

The Vibrant Minds program is powered by Simpson’s strategic collaboration with Sodexo Seniors, a leader in senior living hospitality services. The program includes training for team members on how to provide enriching dining experiences by encouraging engagement with residents and promoting independence. The initiative emphasizes key elements, including colorful food plating, adaptive tableware, and hospitality settings optimized for sensory stimulation.

“We are proud of our partnership with Simpson, where our teams serve so much more than food,” said Greg Blumenthal, District Manager, Sodexo Seniors. “We engage with residents during meal time, getting to know their wants and needs to give them the best experience possible. The Vibrant Minds program reflects our shared purpose to create better everyday experiences and build healthier lives for all.”

In addition, the comprehensive program provides immersive empathy training for dining team members, including simulations of sensory impairments, to deepen their understanding of residents’ experiences. This person-centered approach enhances daily interactions and strengthens relationships within the community.

Cognitive decline is growing among senior living populations and research shows a well-balanced diet is increasingly recognized as a fundamental component of maintaining brain health throughout life.
