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.

Chuck DeLadurantey, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneur Podcast Discussing Annuities For Those In Pre-Retirement

Chuck DeLadurantey discusses the importance annuities for those in pre-retirement

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: Interview with Chuck DeLadurantey Discussing Annuities for Those in Pre-Retirement

Chuck DeLadurantey shared the often-misunderstood topic of annuities, particularly for those approaching retirement. Chuck addresses the common misconceptions surrounding annuities, likening the reaction to the word “annuities” to that of “life insurance” or even “diet.” He explains that an annuity represents a shift in thinking about retirement savings, especially for individuals with qualified plans like 401(k)s and 403(b)s. Chuck highlights the tax implications of these plans and how they can be rolled over into an annuity, which is a financial product developed by insurance companies.

Annuities are financial products designed to provide retirees with a secure and predictable source of income, especially during their retirement years when financial stability is paramount. They act as a safeguard against market downturns while also offering the potential for market gains.

One of the primary benefits of annuities is their ability to protect retirees’ principal investments from market volatility. As Chuck explains: “annuities are structured to ensure that the money invested will not decrease in value, even during significant stock market downturns. This protection is particularly crucial for retirees who depend on their savings for income and cannot afford to lose a substantial portion of their nest egg.”

 For example, during economic downturns like the 2008 housing market crash, many individuals saw their retirement savings plummet by 40% or more. In contrast, those who had invested in annuities would not have faced such losses. Instead of worrying about portfolio fluctuations, retirees can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their principal is safeguarded.

While annuities provide a safety net against losses, they also offer opportunities to benefit from market gains. Depending on the type of annuity selected, retirees can participate in market growth without the associated risks. For instance, some annuities allow a portion of the investment to be linked to market performance, meaning that if the market rises, the retiree can enjoy gains without jeopardizing their initial investment.

Chuck highlights that insurance companies, which issue annuities, are typically well-capitalized and have a long history of stability. Many of these companies have been paying dividends for over a century, indicating their reliability and ability to manage investments effectively. This means that retirees can trust that their annuity will not only protect their principal but also provide opportunities for growth.

Another critical aspect of annuities is their ability to address concerns about longevity and withdrawal rates from their retirement nest egg. Retirees often fear outliving their savings, especially as life expectancies increase. Annuities can be structured to provide guaranteed income for life, ensuring that retirees have a steady cash flow regardless of how long they live.

Moreover, understanding the concept of the “sequence of returns” is vital for retirees. If a retiree experiences a market downturn early in retirement, it can significantly impact their ability to withdraw funds sustainably. Annuities help mitigate this risk by providing a stable income stream, allowing retirees to avoid selling investments at a loss during market lows, and can help address concerns about running out of money during retirement

 

 Chuck shared: “We help families and businesses establish a privatized banking system to take control of their financial destiny to generate lasting tax-protected wealth, including plans for guaranteed lifetime income without direct stock market risks”
