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.

Bill McDowell, President of The McDowell Agency, Interviewed on The Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast, Discussing 401K Rollovers

Bill McDowell discusses 401K Rollovers

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: Interview with Bill McDowell President of The McDowell Agency Discussing 401K Rollovers – Business Innovators Radio Network

Bill McDowell, president of the McDowell Agency, joins host Mike Saunders to discuss the importance of 401k rollovers. They highlight how modern work trends lead to individuals accumulating multiple 401k accounts over their careers. Bill emphasizes the need to consolidate these accounts for better management and financial planning, catering to individuals of all ages who may have multiple 401ks from various job transitions.

One prevalent issue discussed in the podcast episode is the common occurrence of individuals holding multiple 401k accounts from various jobs. With the changing landscape of employment, people are no longer sticking with one company for their entire career. Consequently, individuals end up accumulating multiple 401k accounts over time. The guest, Bill McDowell, mentions encountering clients with several orphaned 401k accounts, which are funds left in retirement plans from previous employers.

Having multiple 401k accounts can lead to confusion and potential loss of track of funds. Individuals may overlook these accounts, especially if they are small or from past jobs. Bill McDowell stresses the importance of consolidating these accounts to simplify tracking retirement savings. He shares a scenario where a client had seven 401k accounts, illustrating the complexity and challenges of managing multiple accounts effectively.

The risks associated with leaving 401k funds in orphaned accounts are also explored in the episode. Apart from the confusion and potential loss of track of funds, there are risks related to company instability. If a former employer faces financial troubles or goes bankrupt, it could impact the 401k funds left with that company. Additionally, the market’s volatility poses a risk to funds left in 401k accounts, particularly if they are linked to stock market performance.

Overall, the episode emphasizes the importance of addressing the issue of multiple 401k accounts to avoid confusion, potential loss of funds, and exposure to risks

In conclusion, it is crucial for individuals to understand the risks involved in leaving old 401k accounts with previous employers. By taking proactive steps such as consolidating accounts, actively managing investments, and ensuring funds are in secure investment options, individuals can better protect their retirement savings and mitigate potential risks associated with old 401k accounts.
