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.

Chris Patterson, Retirement Income Strategist, Featured in TV Interviews Discussing His Approach to Serving Clients

Chris Patterson, Retirement Income Strategist, focuses on ensuring a lifetime income for retirement and transitioning from an accumulation to a distribution mindset. The accumulation to distribution transition is a critical, but challenging shift for most retirees. When transitioning to a distribution mindset, the primary challenge is understanding the proper allocation to maximize retirement income while protecting principal balances. People may hesitate to make this shift due to concerns about missing out on potential growth opportunities. However, it is crucial to understand the importance of securing a portion of funds to guarantee a stable income stream during retirement. This is what clients have worked so hard for during their career!

Strategic tax planning is a crucial aspect of retirement planning that can help individuals mitigate taxes and secure their financial future. Proper tax planning can not only increase retirement income for retirees, but it can also increase the legacy left behind for children and grandchildren. Client education is the key to developing a sound strategic tax plan.   

Chris shared: “I use 25+ years of experience as a tax professional to assist clients in understanding how their recommended income strategies will impact their tax return in retirement. The goal is to minimize taxes and management fees while maximizing income in the safest way possible.” 

The goal in any plan is to asses all available options for clients and find the right fit based on the client’s level of comfort with the strategy. The advisor has to develop a deep understanding of the client’s needs and design the plan around those needs. There are so many options to consider: equities, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds, crypto currencies, bonds, life insurance, and annuities…..The list goes on and on. 

In response to a question on annuities, Chris explained: “Annuities in terms of your retirement income planning really can play the role of sort of the safe money or the kind of protected account inside your portfolio. And it goes back to the sequence of returns risk. And annuities can play a key role in helping us avoid that risk if we feel it’s warranted. Annuities are not the right fit for everyone, but they can play a valuable role in the right situation.”
