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.

Cameron Bryant Founder of Found Revenue Solutions & Retirement Specialist at Federal Employee Advocate, On Influential Entrepreneur Podcast – Protecting Retirement Funds

Cameron Bryant Discusses the importance of protecting your retirement funds

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-w-cameron-bryant-founder-of-found-revenue-solutions-retirement-specialist-at-federal-employee-advocates-protecting-your-retirement-funds/

Cameron Bryant, founder of Found Revenue Solutions and Retirement Specialist at Federal Employee Advocates. He delves into the crucial topic of protecting retirement funds, emphasizing the psychological motivation behind safeguarding investments. Cameron shares insights on the importance of balance in investment strategies, particularly as individuals approach retirement. He discusses the common investment vehicles like 401(k)s and thrift savings plans, and highlights the need to transition towards less risky investments as one ages.

As individuals approach retirement, it is crucial to shift their investment strategy from high-risk accumulation to lower-risk protection. This transition is essential for safeguarding retirement funds against market volatility and potential losses. Here are several key reasons for this shift:

Accumulation Phase: In the earlier stages of their careers, individuals typically focus on saving and growing their retirement funds. During this phase, they can afford to take on more risk, as they have time to recover from market fluctuations. Investments may include stocks, mutual funds, and other high-risk assets that offer the potential for higher returns.

As individuals enter their 60s and beyond, they transition into the protection phase. This critical period shifts the focus from accumulating wealth to preserving it. The goal is to safeguard the nest egg built over the years, especially in light of potential significant market downturns, such as those experienced in 2008, when many portfolios lost over 30% of their value.

Cameron Shared: “We can’t afford to lose 30, 35% like we did back then. So now we need to protect it”

Cameron Bryant emphasizes that as people age, they need to be more cautious with their investments. The risk of loss becomes more pronounced, and individuals can no longer afford significant downturns in their portfolios. Therefore, it is vital to allocate a larger portion of retirement funds into less risky investments. This might involve moving 75% to 100% of funds into guaranteed or protected accounts where the principal is safe from market volatility.

Several risks can threaten retirement savings, including:

Market Volatility: The unpredictable nature of the stock market can lead to substantial losses, particularly for those nearing retirement who do not have the time to recover from such losses.

Longevity Risk: As people live longer, there is a growing concern about outliving their savings. Individuals need to ensure that their funds will last throughout their retirement years, which may extend into their 90s or beyond.

Inflation: Rising inflation can erode the purchasing power of retirement savings. If investments do not keep pace with inflation, retirees may find their funds insufficient to cover living expenses.

To mitigate these risks, individuals can consider various strategies such as fixed indexed annuities, these products offer a way to earn returns linked to market indices while providing protection against losses. Guaranteed Income Streams, many retirees seek products that can provide a guaranteed income for life, ensuring that they do not run out of money regardless of how long they live. And diversification, while often misunderstood, diversification is essential to have a mix of investments that includes both growth-oriented assets and those that provide stability and protection. This balance can help manage risk while still allowing for some growth potential.
