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.

Cashflow Hack Podcast Episode 8 Highlights Tax-Free Retirement Plan: The Swiss Army Knife of Retirement Strategies: Life Insurance

The latest episode of the Cashflow Hack podcast, hosted by Chris Quintana and Stephanie Georgakopoulos, delves into the topic of tax-free retirement plans. In this eye-opening episode, Quintana and Georgakopoulos discuss the benefits of utilizing life insurance as a retirement strategy and provide insights into how it can help business owners achieve financial security in their golden years.

The hosts kick off the episode by emphasizing the importance of having a tax-free retirement plan. Quintana states, “There is a vast difference between pulling out $100k a year tax-free in retirement and pulling out $100k and paying taxes on it. The amount you have left to live off is significantly impacted by taxes.”

Georgakopoulos adds, “Many small business owners haven’t set up a retirement plan because they know they should, but they procrastinate. Unfortunately, many find themselves without the financial means to do so. That’s where life insurance comes in as a powerful tool for business owners.”

Throughout the episode, the hosts share personal anecdotes and expert insights to tease listeners on the intriguing points of using life insurance for retirement planning. They highlight the following reasons why life insurance is an ideal retirement solution:

  1. Protection for Family: Life insurance provides coverage for business debt and ensures financial security for the family in case of the owner’s death. Quintana emphasizes, “Life insurance shouldn’t be considered an extra or an expense; it should be standard practice for all business owners.”

  2. Flexibility for Business Owners: Life insurance allows business owners to set up a tax-qualified plan without the burden of funding retirement accounts for employees.

Georgakopoulos explains, “Business owners who want to help their employees plan for retirement can benefit from life insurance since there is no requirement to fund employee accounts.”

  1. Simple and Easy: Life insurance policies have no separate record-keeping or reporting requirements, relieving business owners of tedious reporting tasks.

  2. No Limit on Savings: Unlike other retirement accounts, life insurance policies have nomaximum limit on contributions. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for business owners who may have fluctuating incomes.

  3. Liquidity: Life insurance policies provide instant liquidity to the owners’ estate, allowing beneficiaries to receive the death benefit quickly. Additionally, policyholders can tap into the cash value of the policy for emergencies or business needs.

  4. Tax-Free Retirement: The most compelling reason to consider life insurance as a retirement solution is the ability to take tax-free loans from the policy’s cash value. Quintana points out, “Taking a $100,000 loan from a life insurance policy means you can spend the full $100,000 in retirement, while traditional retirement accounts may require paying taxes on the amount withdrawn.”

The hosts conclude the episode by emphasizing the significance of properly designed life insurance policies for retirement planning. They encourage listeners to reach out with any questions or topics they would like to explore in future episodes.
