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.

Representation of Women and People of Color in Clinical Trials is Crucial

SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Cardiovascular diseases and stroke remain leading causes of death worldwide. As researchers work to find new treatments that have the potential to benefit patients, they say that more diversity is needed among participants in clinical trials to advance understanding of these conditions.

“Clinical trials are a cornerstone of medical research and healthcare innovation. They are essential to advancing medical science and ensuring patient safety, and often lead to the development of effective new treatment options. However, it is crucial that they include participants from diverse backgrounds, encompassing a wide range of lived experiences and living conditions, and representing diverse races, ethnicities, ages, genders, and sexual orientations, so that all communities can benefit from scientific advancements,” says Roxana Mehran, MD, FACC, FACP, FCCP, FESC, FAHA, MSCAI, Professor of Medicine in Cardiology and Population Health Science and Policy Professor in Cardiovascular Clinical Research and Outcomes Director of Interventional Cardiovascular Research and Clinical Trials Mount Sinai Health System.

According to research published in JAMA Network Open, women with atrial fibrillation, which is an irregular heart rhythm, face a higher risk of complications, like stroke, compared to men. The American Heart Association reports that cardiovascular disease prevalence remains highest among non-Hispanic Black females and non-Hispanic Black males. Experts believe such gaps in care are partially due to representation in clinical trials. Historically, women and people of color have been underrepresented in cardiovascular research, which has in recent decades, relied primarily on white male study participants.

One program in particular is helping to address gaps in heart disease treatment as the first clinical program to enroll nearly 50,000 patients across three trials. It’s actively recruiting women and members from diverse populations in an effort to ensure its results are inclusive, equitable and relevant for all patients.

The Librexia program is a phase 3 clinical trial investigating a potential new treatment for patients with blood clotting diseases, including acute coronary syndrome (i.e. heart attack), atrial fibrillation and prevention of repeated strokes. The program is designed to find treatment options that can potentially help improve outcomes in a wide range of patients, including underserved populations like women and people of color. To ensure that trial enrollment represents the individuals likely to take the medication, all who meet the criteria are encouraged to explore if the trials are a fit for them. A clinical trial helps advance research that may benefit family members, the community and future generations.

“Diverse representation in clinical trials can help us better understand the benefits of a particular medication across all segments of the population,” says Dr. Mehran.
