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.

IRS to Flag Excessive Business Deductions in 2025 - Clear Start Tax Shares What Write-Offs Could Trigger an Audit

IRS enforcement priorities shift toward questionable write-offs, putting small business owners and self-employed taxpayers on notice in 2025.

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2025 / The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is sharpening its focus on business deductions in 2025, warning that overly aggressive write-offs could increase the chances of an audit. Tax professionals say the move is part of a broader push by the agency to close the "tax gap" by targeting areas where income may be underreported or expenses overstated.

According to Clear Start Tax, a national tax relief firm, deductions for travel, meals, home offices, and vehicle expenses are expected to draw heightened scrutiny this filing season.

"The IRS isn't saying you can't deduct legitimate business expenses," a Clear Start Tax spokesperson explained. "What they are signaling is that excessive or inconsistent deductions - especially when they don't line up with the size or nature of your business - will likely trigger a closer look."

The IRS has expanded its use of data analytics and artificial intelligence to identify deduction patterns that stand out from industry norms. For example, a sole proprietor reporting $60,000 in income but claiming $40,000 in travel expenses may face questions about whether those costs were truly business-related.

"One of the biggest mistakes taxpayers make is blurring the line between personal and business expenses," Clear Start Tax said. "Writing off a family vacation as a ‘business trip' or deducting 100% of car costs when the vehicle is used mostly for personal errands are the types of moves that raise red flags."

Clear Start Tax advises taxpayers to keep detailed records, including receipts, mileage logs, and documentation that clearly ties expenses to business activity. Without proper substantiation, deductions can be disallowed, leading to back taxes, penalties, and interest.

"It's not about avoiding deductions," the spokesperson added. "It's about making sure the deductions you claim can stand up under IRS review."

By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they're eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.
