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.

Illinois Divorce Lawyer Russell D. Knight Clarifies Interim Attorney’s Fees vs. Contribution To Attorney’s Fees

Illinois Divorce Lawyer Russell D. Knight Clarifies Interim Attorney’s Fees vs. Contribution To Attorney’s Fees

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - Russell D. Knight of the Law Office Of Russell D. Knight (https://rdklegal.com/interim-attorneys-fees-vs-contribution-to-attorneys-fees-in-an-illinois-divorce/) issues a detailed clarification on the practical differences between interim attorney’s fees and contribution to attorney’s fees under Illinois law, guiding litigants and practitioners on the standards, timing, and evidentiary showings that courts apply. The clarification underscores how an Illinois Divorce lawyer evaluates temporary fee petitions before judgment and final contribution motions after proofs close, aligning with 750 ILCS 5/501, 5/503, and 5/508.

Interim fee requests arise before final judgment and are typically heard on a summary, non-evidentiary basis. Courts review financial affidavits, consider statutory factors such as income, need, earning capacity, access to information, and payments already made to counsel, and often act to level the playing field where one party controls resources. An Illinois Divorce lawyer preparing an interim fee petition will emphasize concrete, verifiable payments as reliable indicators of the scope and reasonableness of opposing counsel’s work to date. Interim awards remain temporary and subject to adjustment or disgorgement at case end, protecting both parties while preserving litigation parity.

At the close of proofs, contribution petitions focus on final allocation of fees in view of the total distribution of property and any maintenance. Here, the court may consider the broad criteria for property division under Section 503 and maintenance under Section 504. An Illinois Divorce lawyer preparing a contribution hearing will present invoices, time records, reasons for costs, and testimony establishing the magnitude and necessity of work performed inside and outside the courtroom. Judicial discretion is substantial, and courts may deny or reduce fees for conduct that delays proceedings or disregards orders, while no rule requires equalization of both sides’ totals. Contribution awards are commonly set as lump sums payable to the party, counsel, or jointly, promoting finality and administrative clarity.

Post-judgment proceedings add another layer. Temporary fee requests after judgment can be addressed on a summary basis, while contribution determinations in post-decree matters still proceed under the statutory framework governing attorney’s fees generally. The timing rules and evidentiary expectations ensure that fee decisions are tethered to the full merits record where appropriate, while also allowing prompt relief for ongoing litigation costs. Throughout these stages, litigants benefit from careful documentation, disciplined billing, and a strategy that prioritizes central merits issues such as parenting time, support, and property division, with fee recovery treated as an important but not determinative component of overall case planning.
