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 Tax Risk

Chris Patterson discusses tips and strategies for tax planning

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: Interview With Chris Patterson, Retirement Income Strategist Discussing Tax Risk – Business Innovators Radio Network

Strategic tax planning is a crucial aspect of retirement planning that can help individuals mitigate taxes and secure their financial future. Chris Patterson discusses the importance of understanding and managing tax risk is highlighted as a key component of retirement planning. 

Mike Saunders and Chris Patterson, a financial advisor discuss the likelihood of tax rates increasing in the future due to factors such as the national deficit and government spending. While no one can predict with certainty what tax rates will be in the future, it is essential to consider the possibility of tax rate hikes and plan accordingly. 

One strategy mentioned in the podcast is Roth conversions, which involves converting traditional IRA funds to Roth IRA funds to prepay taxes at a lower rate. By executing Roth conversions strategically, individuals can potentially reduce the impact of future tax rate increases on their retirement income. 

Another strategy discussed in the podcast is the use of life insurance as a way to mitigate taxes. Life insurance can provide tax-free benefits to beneficiaries and can be a valuable tool in estate planning and wealth transfer. 

Overall, the podcast emphasizes the importance of proactive tax planning in retirement. By starting with a goal of achieving a 0% tax bracket in retirement and considering strategies such as Roth conversions and life insurance, individuals can work towards reducing their tax burden and securing their financial future. 

Chris explained: There is something called indexed universal life insurance. And it is a extremely powerful strategy. There are some complexities to it. It can be a little bit challenging to help a client understand the structure, and what goes into it, and exactly how it benefits in the long term”

In conclusion, the concept of beginning with the end in mind is a valuable approach in retirement planning, especially when it comes to understanding and managing tax risk. By considering the potential tax implications of different strategies from the outset, individuals can better prepare for their retirement and make informed decisions that will help them achieve their financial goals. 

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.”
