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.

U.S. Court Proposed Order Warns Ricardo Salinas: Comply, or Risk of Fines and Imprisonment for Contempt

AT&T case reaches critical stage as draft New York order explicitly threatens jail time for Grupo Salinas executives over alleged defiance of court rulings

In the intensifying legal battle between AT&T Mobility Holdings B.V. and entities tied to Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego, a proposed order filed by the Supreme Court of the State of New York has sent a stark message: Salinas could face fines, imprisonment, or both if held in contempt.

According to the draft document, now before the court in Manhattan:

“NOTICE: THE PURPOSE OF THIS HEARING IS TO PUNISH THE ACCUSED FOR A CONTEMPT OF COURT, AND THAT PUNISHMENT MAY CONSIST OF FINE, IMPRISONMENT, OR BOTH, ACCORDING TO LAW.”

The proposed order commands Salinas and Francisco Borrego, another top Grupo Salinas executive, to personally appear before the court on July 25, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. EDT. Failure to do so, it warns, could result in immediate arrest and incarceration.

Why this matters for Grupo Salinas
This stems from contempt motions which accuse Salinas, Borrego, Grupo Elektra, and Banco Azteca of purposely violating previous court orders in the enforcement of multimillion-dollar judgments linked to a 2015 telecom transaction.

Though still pending judicial signature, the language of this proposed order highlights just how close the case is to crossing from financial penalties into personal liberty consequences—an escalation rarely seen in cross-border corporate disputes involving Latin American conglomerates. But it’s not shocking to legal observers, because Salinas has been accused of wrong doing for decades. 

Wider impact on Grupo Elektra and Banco Azteca
Grupo Elektra and Banco Azteca, flagship businesses in Salinas’s empire, already face mounting scrutiny in Mexico over separate tax and compliance issues. Analysts warn that this new threat of actual imprisonment for contempt in the U.S. could dramatically alter the risk outlook for investors, creditors, and institutional partners with exposure to Salinas-controlled entities. But what the court order will finally do, is bring to justice a rogue individual long accused of fraud and contempt of court. 

Justicia Empresarial calls on financial institutions, corporate boards, and market regulators to monitor these developments with heightened due diligence, as they may set precedents for how courts in the United States pursue foreign corporate officers who defy judicial U.S. mandates.

Hearing is scheduled for 25th July, 2025. 

As one observer noted: “Criminals can escape justice for so long, until justice will catch up to you.”

Question remains, will Ricardo Salinas finally be ordered to be imprisoned?
