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.

FDA Issues Urgent Nationwide Recall of Freeze-Dried Blueberries Distributed by a California Company Due to Lead Concerns

By: WebWire

Last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted information about an urgent voluntary recall of two batches of imported blueberries that were distributed by a company out of the Los Angeles area. The freeze-dried blueberries were grown in Lithuania and distributed online and through retail stores across the United States.

According to the announcement, the recall was initiated because of the presence, or potential presence, of lead above the FDA's recommended limits. Fortunately, at the time of the recall posting, the company had not received any reports of adverse events related to the use of the freeze-dried blueberries.

The recall notice warns:
People with high blood levels of lead may show no symptoms, but the condition may cause damage to the nervous system and internal organs. Acute lead poisoning may cause a wide range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and bloody or decreased urinary output. Children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning.

“Many people don't associate lead exposure risks as ever coming from food products, for most, it's more likely to be concerns about contaminated water or dusts from old lead-based paints,” said Michael Chapman, Laboratory Manager of LA Testing's Huntington Beach facility. “However, in just the last few years, there have been a number of recalls due to elevated levels of lead found in everything from imported spices to candies. The FDA even recently issued draft action levels for lead in single-strength (ready to drink) apple juice and other single-strength juices and juice blends.”

Helping food manufacturers, processors, importers and distributors test for lead, and other chemical or microbial contaminants, are the food scientists at LA Testing. With multiple laboratory locations in California, they offer food, beverage and product testing services. This form of testing can be instrumental for safeguarding the public from needless exposure risks and for protecting companies from the high costs associated with product recalls.
