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.

Sam Bennett, Real Estate Agent with Opt Real Estate, Interviewed on the Elite Real Estate Leaders Podcast

Sam Bennett discusses maximizing home value. 

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-sam-bennett-real-estate-agent-with-opt-real-estate/

Sam Bennett delves into the multifaceted nature of design in real estate, going beyond mere aesthetics like colors and furniture placement. Initially associating design with swatches and drapes, she quickly clarifies that in real estate, design encompasses foundational elements such as HVAC, plumbing, and drainage systems. Understanding these crucial elements is essential for interior designers as it enables them to make informed decisions when redesigning a space, potentially increasing its value.

Moreover, Mike Saunders and Sam Bennett discuss the importance of considering the return on investment for various renovations in interior design. They stress the need for thorough research to determine whether a particular renovation, like a kitchen remodel, will truly add value to the property. Given the expense involved in redesigning a space, it becomes crucial to weigh personal enjoyment against the potential impact on future buyers.

Overall, the episode underscores that design in real estate extends beyond aesthetics, emphasizing the significance of comprehending foundational elements and considering the financial implications of renovations.

Sam Bennett highlights the resurgence of the Portland real estate market, which is rapidly gaining momentum. Sam notes that steady interest rates have sparked increased interest from buyers. In contrast to the past couple of years when fluctuating interest rates slowed down the market, real estate agents had to focus on relationship building and follow-up. However, with interest rates now stable, clients are more understanding, and the media is promoting it as an opportune time to buy.

Sam shared: I think interest rates are steady and clients seem to be understanding them more. The media seems to be on our side saying now is a good time. My phone has been ringing off the hook. People are excited to buy.”

About Sam Bennett

Sam is the owner and founder of her own residential remodeling company as well as a licensed real estate agent in both Oregon and Washington. She and her husband, Travis, bought their Happy Valley home through the team that would become her brokerage, Opt Real Estate (then The Drew Coleman Team). The team also secretly video-captured his marriage proposal at one of their favorite places, Cannon Beach.

Sweet, fun, efficient, and hardworking, Sam has been in the residential industry since 2012. She graduated from Colorado State University with degrees in both apparel and interior design and with an offer already in hand for a position as a professional interior designer at a design/build firm.

Between her love for working with homeowners and three years’ worth of prodding from her Realtor® husband, she eventually became licensed as a real estate agent herself. Clients find that Sam’s eye for design can help them to see what is possible within a space while her attention to detail ensures no deadlines on the transaction are missed.

“My clients find ease and fun with our process. My purpose is to really get to know you and your family so together we can make this custom experience enjoyable and easy.”

In her free time, Sam writes pop-punk songs with her husband and plays bass for the band they created, “all in ur head”. “Travis and I go to Guitar Center so often that a number of the employees know us by name.” Besides auditioning for modeling and acting gigs, she loves to take their RV out to the coast or visit their favorite jaunts across Portland. They especially love Tusk NW, The Original Halibuts, and venues like the Hawthorne Theatre and Crystal Ballroom.

When they’re not walking the trails in their neighborhood, you can catch the couple alternating between the one-wheel and electric scooter. “Sometimes we bring our very athletic bulldog, Sonny. Rubble, our other bulldog, is not so athletic – he keeps the sofa warm for us while we’re cruising around the neighborhood.”
