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 Annuities & Income Planning

Chris Patterson discusses the role of annuities in retirement income strategies

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

Annuities play a crucial role in income planning for retirees by offering several key benefits. Firstly, they provide guaranteed lifetime income, ensuring a steady stream of income throughout retirement regardless of market conditions. This feature helps retirees plan and budget effectively, providing financial stability and peace of mind.

Secondly, annuities act as a protective measure against market downturns, safeguarding assets from volatility. This protection is beneficial for retirees concerned about preserving their savings during economic uncertainty.

Additionally, annuities serve as a safe money component within a retirement portfolio, creating a balanced and resilient investment strategy. This component helps mitigate risks associated with market volatility, ensuring a stable income stream for retirees.

Annuities offer guaranteed lifetime income, protect assets from market downturns, and serve as a safe money component in a retirement portfolio, providing financial security and stability for retirees.

When evaluating annuities as part of a retirement plan, it is crucial to consider key factors. Assessing fees is essential to align the cost with financial goals. Evaluating the financial strength of the issuing company ensures reliability while understanding the history of crediting strategies helps assess potential returns and risks.

Chris explained: “Annuities in terms of your retirement income planning really can play the role of sort of the safe money or the kind of protected account inside of your portfolio. And it goes back to the sequence of returns risk. And annuities can play kind of a key role in helping us avoid that risk if we feel it’s warranted.”

Furthermore, ongoing input, feedback, and a strong client-advisor relationship are key components of successful retirement planning. By staying in touch with a financial advisor and engaging in consistent communication, clients can adapt to evolving circumstances and secure their financial future effectively.

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.”
