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.

Safe Sharps Disposal: Keeping Students Healthy at School

photo

SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Back to school can be overwhelming for students and families. With new classes, new friends and sometimes new schools, students have a lot to balance. Additionally, changing routine can be challenging for students managing health conditions, including allergies, diabetes and others that require using and safely disposing of needles, syringes, or epinephrine autoinjectors at school.

Parents and school faculty can help promote safe sharps disposal so students and staff can better focus on a happy and healthy year using the following tips and resources from SafetyIsThePoint.org.

Safe Sharps at School and at Home

For many, learning about safe medical sharps disposal starts at home. Free, educational resources help answer questions like “How do I safely dispose of medical sharps?” and “What are the disposal rules in my area?” The SafetyIsThePoint.org website features a clickable map and ZIP code finder to check local disposal regulations and find nearby disposal sites.

Resources can be used by school nurses and other staff, who can share safe sharps disposal information and show students and families how to properly dispose of used medical sharps.

Safe Sharps at School

Teachers and other faculty play an important role in educating about safe sharps disposal. Posters and fact sheets can be downloaded and printed for easy integration into lesson plans or displayed in classrooms and offices. These materials both educate about proper medical sharps disposal and raise awareness of health conditions that require the use of sharps.

For schools and districts that use social media, sample posts can be downloaded and shared online to reach students and their families. Schools can incorporate the messages and materials into newsletters.

Ensuring a Safe and Healthy School Year

Parents, teachers and other school staff play a crucial role in ensuring students are protecting and preventing themselves and others from getting hurt. Household sharps disposal rules vary by state, so it’s important to check local requirements as some prohibit disposing of sharps in household trash or recycling. Some states require sharps to be dropped off at a collection center in an approved container.

The basics about sharp disposal are as easy as knowing these three steps:

1. Place used sharps in a strong, plastic container like an empty laundry detergent or bleach bottle.

2. When the container is 75% full, seal it tightly with duct tape and label it clearly with “Do Not Recycle.”

3. Place the sealed container in regular household trash, if permitted in your area.

You can learn more about safe sharps disposal this back-to-school season and beyond at SafetyIsThePoint.org.

By arming your children, their teachers and yourself with the latest safety information, you can help make the school year a safer experience for everyone.
