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.

Food Products Company in California Recalls a Brand of Salted Plums with Chili Due to Lead Contamination Concerns

By: WebWire

Last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted information about the recall of all lots of a brand of salted plums with chili. The product was sold to distributors by a food company based in California. According to the announcement, the recall was initiated because the product has the potential to be contaminated with lead.

The recalled items were reported to have been distributed in California as well as Nevada, North Carolina, and Georgia through distributors to retail stores from December 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022. Fortunately, at the time of the recall notice, there had been no reports of illnesses.

Regarding cases like this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states:

Certain candy ingredients such as chili powder and tamarind may be a source of lead exposure. Lead can get into the candy when drying, storing, and grinding the ingredients are done improperly. Ink from plastic or paper candy wrappers may also contain lead that leaches or seeps into the imported candy.

“The day before this recall was posted by the FDA, another company in California also announced the recall of salted plums with chili because of the potential for lead contamination,” said Michael Chapman, Laboratory Manager of LA Testing's Huntington Beach facility. “LA Testing, with multiple laboratories in California, offers food and product testing to help prevent cases like these that could expose the public to contaminants, not to mention the high costs associated with these types of recalls. These services are instrumental for businesses that import, process, distribute, and retail food items to help ensure their products are safe and meet regulatory requirements.”
