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.

Entrepreneurial Culture, Financial Planning Focus, and Robust Transition Support Draw $120-Million Team to Ameriprise

Today Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) announced that Ark Wealth Management, a financial advisory practice managing $120 million in client assets, has joined its independent channel from First Command Financial Planning in Tacoma, Washington. Financial advisors Chris McCulloch, CFP® and Wes Niblack, CFP®, ChFC® lead the team, and are joined by support staff Malinda Hall, Emily Kleppen, and Erin Watlington. The team was looking to ensure they’re providing the best service to clients and found that Ameriprise could help them take their capabilities to the next level. The advisors highlighted four qualities of Ameriprise that stood out to them most in comparison to other firms:

  1. Ability to be an independent business owner. “While we strongly considered starting our own Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), we decided that structure wasn’t the right fit for us,” said Niblack. “We wanted a firm that would provide compliance best practices as well as support to grow, and still give us the opportunity to own our own business.”
  2. Client-centric culture. “We made this decision based on what’s best for our clients,” said McCulloch. “We saw that Ameriprise shares our client-centric philosophy and passion for delivering financial plans that show clients the investment and saving roadmap to reaching their goals.”
  3. Focus on financial planning and growth. “With moving to Ameriprise, we are able to benefit from the firm’s longtime focus and expertise in financial planning, while maintaining the independence we need to serve our clients the way we want to,” said Niblack.
  4. End-to-end transition support. “Ameriprise said they had the expertise, dedicated resources, and supportive culture to facilitate our transition well, and they delivered,” said McCulloch. “Making a move can be risky, and we wanted a team that would help us retain clients and get us set up for growth quickly. The firm provided a dedicated transition team that is high touch, responsive and effective in helping us set up our business.”

McCulloch and Niblack are supported locally by Ameriprise field vice president George Varones.

Ameriprise has continued to attract experienced, productive advisors, with approximately 1,700 joining the firm in the last 5 years.1 To find out why experienced financial advisors are joining Ameriprise, visit ameriprise.com/why.
