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.

James Edward Durden, Jr Owner of Edward Financial Group, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast Discussing Living a Tax-Free Retirement

James Durden discusses tax-free retirement  

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-james-edward-durden-jr-owner-of-edward-financial-group-discussing-living-a-tax-free-retirement/

 Positioning assets in various tax-efficient strategies for a tax-free retirement is a crucial step in safeguarding income and assets from the impact of taxes, James Durden Jr., the owner of Edward Financial Group. Durden stressed the importance of recognizing how taxes can affect one’s portfolio, living standards, and assets passed on to beneficiaries. By strategically allocating assets to tax-efficient vehicles, individuals can mitigate the negative effects of taxes on their retirement savings. 

One highlighted strategy is the use of municipal bonds, which offer federal tax-free benefits but may be subject to state taxes. While municipal bonds provide tax advantages, they historically yield lower returns and carry a slight risk of default. Another tax-efficient option discussed is Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s, allowing for tax-free growth and withdrawals, with limitations based on income levels and contribution amounts. 

 James explained: “What I want to do is want most pre-retirees to understand the devastating impact that taxes can have a portfolio on your living and what you leave to your beneficiaries.” 

A less commonly known strategy emphasized by James is utilizing life insurance as a tax-free retirement tool. With life insurance, individuals can contribute funds that grow tax-deferred and can be withdrawn tax-free, along with additional benefits such as a death benefit for beneficiaries, access to funds in case of illness, and terminal illness benefits. 

James also stressed the importance of developing a comprehensive retirement income plan that integrates a mix of tax-efficient strategies. By creating a detailed retirement income plan, individuals can visualize the tax implications of their income sources and optimize tax efficiency, maximizing tax-free income while minimizing taxable withdrawals to enhance their standard of living in retirement. 

In conclusion, diversifying assets across various tax-efficient strategies like municipal bonds, Roth accounts, and life insurance can help individuals plan for a tax-free retirement. Implementing a well-thought-out retirement income plan with the guidance of a financial professional can assist individuals in navigating tax planning complexities and securing a financially stable and tax-efficient retirement. 

James shared: “We’re thrilled to empower our clients with the knowledge they need to secure their financial futures. At Edward Financial Group, we believe that informed income planning is the cornerstone of a comfortable and confident retirement.”
