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.

Chris Patterson Retirement Income Strategist, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast Discussing Sequence of Returns Risk

By: Authority Press Wire

Chris Patterson discusses navigating the sequence of returns risk in retirement 

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-chris-patterson-retirement-income-strategist-discussing-sequence-of-returns-risk/

Understanding the Impact of Sequence of Returns Risk on Retirement Income  

Chris Patterson, a retirement income strategist, the discussion shed light on the significant impact of sequence of returns risk on retirement income. The sequence of returns risk refers to the order in which investment returns occur, especially when retirees withdraw money from their portfolio during market downturns.  

As highlighted in the episode, experiencing negative returns in the early years of retirement while withdrawing funds can have a detrimental effect on overall retirement income. For example, if retirees face a series of negative returns in the initial years of retirement and need to withdraw funds for living expenses, their portfolio can deplete rapidly. This situation increases the risk of running out of money before the end of their lifespan, leading to financial insecurity and stress.  

Chris Patterson shared a real-world example from the early 2000s, where a million-dollar portfolio experiencing three consecutive years of negative returns resulted in the funds running out within a short period. This example illustrates how the sequence of returns can significantly impact the sustainability of retirement income.    

Moreover, the psychological impact of sequence of returns risk is crucial to consider. Retirees may experience worry, fear, and doubt when they see their portfolio values decline due to market downturns. This emotional response can lead to impulsive decisions, such as moving investments to safer but lower-yielding options or taking on additional risk to recover losses. However, such reactive behaviors can worsen the negative impact on retirement income.  

To mitigate the sequence of returns risk and safeguard retirement income, Chris emphasized the importance of structuring a portfolio effectively. By adopting a bucket approach that includes safe assets, protected funds, and long-term investments, retirees can better manage the impact of market volatility on their income. This structured approach helps retirees plan for worst-case scenarios, ensuring they have a strategy in place to navigate through challenging market conditions without compromising their financial security.  

In conclusion, sequence of returns risk poses a significant threat to retirement income, especially when retirees need to withdraw funds during market downturns. By understanding this risk, adopting a structured portfolio approach, and seeking professional guidance, retirees can better protect their retirement income and achieve greater financial peace of mind.   

Chris shared: “I use 25+ years of experience on the tax side to assist clients in understanding how their recommended income strategies will impact their tax return in retirement. The goal is to minimize taxes and management fees while maximizing income in the safest way possible.”
