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.

Empower Institute: Financial Health Means More Than Money

By: via Business Wire
  • It’s getting past roadblocks
  • It’s connected to overall happiness
  • It differs across racial and ethnic groups

 

Three-quarters of Americans surveyed say their financial health affects their physical and mental health, and more than half say it’s connected with overall happiness and quality of life.

They agree that financial well-being is a top priority, but they need help to achieve it. And when it comes to financial confidence and optimism, less than half of Hispanic Americans and Black Americans surveyed consider themselves financially healthy. That’s according to a survey1 conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of Empower Retirement and Personal Capital.

The findings, analysis and ways employers can help employees improve their financial well-being are published in two papers – “Financial Wellness is an Evolving Journey” and “Making Financial Wellness Attainable for Everyone” — available this month from Empower Institute, the research group for Empower.

“Now more than ever, it’s time for the financial industry and employers to let go of a one-size-fits-all financial savings plan for all Americans,” said Luis Fleites, director of thought leadership. “Yes, money is one factor in defining financial health. But diving into what is keeping employees up at night and understanding that financial well-being is interconnected with other factors can lead to real solutions.”

Survey results show that defining financial health is personal. Of those surveyed, 41% say it means surviving — paying the bills; 45% say it means stability — having savings or an emergency fund; and 29% say it means being worry free — having money for leisure and activities.

Further, financial health varies across racial and ethnic groups. For example, 38% of Hispanic Americans and 43% of Black Americans consider themselves financially healthy compared to 51% of white Americans. In addition, when asked about the amount of savings needed to feel financially healthy, Black Americans responded with $254,000, Hispanic Americans with $349,000 and white Americans with $589,000.

One thing consistent across racial and ethnic groups is that people crave advice. More than six in 10 people of color want help on their financial wellness journey.

Among top priorities:

  • 36% want help paying off debt.
  • 34% want help building an emergency fund.
  • 31% want help planning for retirement.

“While the research reveals critical inequalities in terms of how different groups view their financial wellness, it also identifies a clear opportunity for employers to step in and create meaningful change,” Fleites said.

The research revealed three areas in which employers could help their employees move past roadblocks and improve their own financial health:

  • Understanding the needs and challenges expressed by underrepresented groups
  • Creating tailored engagement programs based upon underrepresented groups’ challenges
  • Providing unbiased resources, such as automatic plan design features, digital tools and personalized online advice
