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.

Side Income From Airbnb, Turo, and Gig Platforms Could Spark IRS Action - Clear Start Tax Warns Short-Term Renters and Car Hosts

IRS expands focus on sharing economy earnings in 2025, raising compliance risks for taxpayers with rental or side gig income.

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2025 / The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is sharpening its focus on income earned through short-term rental and gig platforms, including Airbnb, Turo, and similar services. Tax experts say the increased scrutiny in 2025 reflects the agency's broader push to close reporting gaps as more taxpayers rely on side income.

Clear Start Tax, a national tax relief firm, warns that individuals who rent out homes, list cars for hire, or participate in gig economy platforms could face audits or penalties if their earnings are not properly reported.

"A lot of people think of Airbnb or Turo income as ‘extra cash,' but the IRS views it as taxable income just like wages," said a Clear Start Tax spokesperson. "With enhanced 1099 reporting and data-matching tools, the agency is making it much harder to leave that money off your return."

The IRS has already expanded requirements for third-party platforms to issue Form 1099-K when earnings exceed certain thresholds. This means taxpayers who once relied on informal arrangements are now more likely to see their earnings automatically reported to the IRS.

"The issue isn't just whether you get a 1099," Clear Start Tax explained. "If your side income shows up in digital payment records or is easily traceable, the IRS can still flag it. Even deductions like cleaning fees, insurance, or mileage need to be carefully documented to hold up under review."

Tax professionals recommend that short-term hosts and car-sharing participants keep detailed records of rental periods, expenses, and platform fees. Failure to do so could result in disallowed deductions and larger tax bills.

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.

"The bottom line is that the sharing economy is no longer under the radar," the Clear Start Tax spokesperson added. "If you're earning side income, you need to treat it like a real business - with the same level of recordkeeping and tax reporting."
