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.

30 mph Over the Limit Will Count as Reckless Driving in Maryland and Carry Jail Time Starting Oct. 1, 2025

New law reclassifies reckless driving as jailable and raises fines and MVA points, with Price Benowitz outlining court and licensing consequences

ANNAPOLIS, MD, September 29, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Beginning Oct. 1, 2025, Maryland will treat reckless driving as a jailable offense and classify driving 30 mph or more over the posted limit as reckless under the Sergeant Patrick Kepp Act. The law classifies reckless driving as a must-appear criminal offense punishable by up to 60 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. It also raises Motor Vehicle Administration penalties to six points for reckless driving, including cases involving speeding 30 mph or more over the limit.

The act will increase maximum fines to $750 for negligent driving and $1,000 for aggressive driving, while expanding the list of violations that can constitute aggressive driving. Defendants charged under the new law with an offense carrying possible jail time may not prepay and must appear in court.

The law is named for Sgt. Patrick Kepp, who lost both legs after being struck by a driver exceeding 100 mph in 2023. In an April 11 statement following a related verdict, Montgomery County Police Chief Marc R. Yamada issued an official statement, saying the act "will hold reckless drivers more accountable with stricter penalties and real consequences."

David Benowitz, founding partner at Price Benowitz Accident Injury Lawyers LLP and criminal defense lawyer, said drivers should understand that cases once handled as payable traffic citations can now carry jail exposure and lasting collateral effects.

"After Oct. 1, a charge for going 30-plus over the limit isn't a routine ticket, it's a criminal case," Benowitz said. "People cited under this law face the possibility of arrest, court appearances, and six points that can affect insurance and driving privileges."

Automated enforcement remains active in Maryland work zones and local school zones, where cameras issue civil citations by mail. While those programs are separate from the new criminal penalties, they reflect the state's broader approach to speed management through engineering, education and enforcement.

Price Benowitz will monitor implementation as Maryland courts adjust dockets and law enforcement applies the statute statewide. The firm will continue to advise motorists on their rights and obligations under the new law, including potential defenses and case outcomes based on the facts alleged. Price Benowitz has created a blog with Maryland Reckless Driving FAQs to help.
