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.

Navigating the Evolving Real Estate Landscape: Kristen Conti Shares Insights on the NAR Settlement and Its Impact

In a groundbreaking interview, Kristen Conti, a seasoned real estate broker and owner of Peacock Premier Properties in Englewood, Florida, delves into the profound changes sweeping the industry following the landmark settlement between the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Conti, with more than 31 years of experience, offers a comprehensive overview of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) lawsuit’s origins and the far-reaching ramifications that are set to reshape the way real estate professionals, buyers, and sellers interact. From the shift in commission structures to the increased transparency and negotiation opportunities, Conti sheds light on the evolving landscape and provides actionable insights to help navigate this new era.

“This is a wild, woolly world of real estate, and I’m excited to discuss the implications of the NAR settlement,” Conti says. “The changes are among the most significant the industry has seen in decades, and professionals and consumers alike must understand the impact.”

Conti delves into the complexities of the lawsuit, explaining how it originated from a class-action suit in Missouri, where sellers felt they lacked control over what they paid buyer’s agents. The settlement, which resulted in a $418 million payout by NAR, has led to the removal of commission information from multiple listing services, forcing real estate professionals to engage in more transparent and negotiated fee structure

“The bottom line is that buyers and sellers will now have more choices and opportunities to negotiate,” Conti explains. “This means that real estate agents will need to be more skilled at articulating their value and demonstrating their expertise to justify their professional fees.”

Conti emphasizes the importance of buyers and sellers taking the time to educate themselves and work closely with experienced real estate professionals who can guide them through the evolving landscape. She cautions against the potential for a 20-30% attrition in the industry, as less-experienced agents may struggle to adapt to the new requirements.

“This is a perfect storm for the real estate market in Florida, with a contentious election, high interest rates, and the aftermath of Hurricane Ian all contributing to a unique set of challenges,” Conti says. “But for those who are willing to adapt and embrace the changes, there are tremendous opportunities to provide exceptional service and value to their clients.”

Listeners are encouraged to tune in to this informative podcast episode to gain a deeper understanding of the NAR settlement and its implications for the future of real estate. Conti’s expertise and insights offer a valuable roadmap for navigating the evolving industry with confidence.
