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.

Michael Opp, Founder of Opp Financial, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast Discussing Their Unique Approach to Portfolio Diversification

Michael Opp discusses properly diversifying a portfolio.

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-michael-opp-founder-of-opp-financial-their-unique-approach-to-portfolio-diversification/ 

Michael Opp highlights the importance of properly diversifying and managing risk. Michael discusses the need to have a portion of the portfolio that is considered “must money” – money that cannot afford to be lost. This money should be invested in assets that offer guaranteed rates of return and minimal risk. On the other hand, there is a portion of the portfolio that can tolerate some level of risk in exchange for potential gains.

The key to proper diversification lies in understanding the different categories of investments and determining the right investment to accomplish specific goals. It is not enough to simply have a mix of mutual funds and bond funds; investors must ensure that their investments align with their risk tolerance and financial needs. For example, owning bonds directly may offer less risk than investing in a bond fund, as the latter carries additional risks.

Dynamic risk management is also highlighted as crucial in adapting to changing circumstances. Life events, such as job loss or unexpected expenses, can impact an investor’s risk profile and necessitate adjustments to their investment strategy. Regular reviews with a financial advisor can help ensure that the portfolio remains aligned with the investor’s changing needs and circumstances.

In conclusion, properly diversifying and managing risk involves more than just spreading investments across different asset classes. It requires a deep understanding of risk, clear communication with a financial advisor, and the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances. By implementing a true diversification strategy and practicing dynamic risk management, investors can better protect their assets and navigate the complexities of the market with greater confidence.

Michael said: “I realized there’s only two types of diversification. Diversification is no risk. And, that’s where we start with our clients. This money you cannot lose. We look at the asset classes, they’re guaranteed, principal guaranteed, maybe your return guaranteed, and then your risk money. So that’s where diversification ought to be in clients’ minds today.”
