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.

Insurance Labor Market Study Finds 72% of Companies are Planning to Increase Staff

The latest iteration of the Semi-Annual U.S. Insurance Labor Market Study, conducted in part by The Jacobson Group, the leading provider of talent to the insurance industry, found a record percentage of insurers plan to increase their headcounts in 2022 amid an already challenging labor market.

“In terms of acquiring and retaining insurance talent, we’re in the most competitive environment many of us have ever experienced,” said Gregory P. Jacobson, co-chief executive officer of The Jacobson Group. “New roles and opportunities are emerging, job openings are near an all-time high, and retirements are accelerating. As insurance leaders evaluate their talent strategies, flexibility in all areas is essential for long-term success.”

Here are some of the study’s key findings:

  • In the next 12 months, 72% of carriers plan to increase staff, a 16-point increase from the July 2021 study. This is primarily driven by anticipated increases in business volume. Just 3% of carriers anticipate staff reductions.
  • Overall recruiting difficulty is at its highest in the study’s 13-year history. Technology, actuarial and analytics positions are considered the most difficult to fill.
  • As recruiting becomes more challenging, demand for temporary staff is also reaching an all-time high; 19% of carriers plan to increase their use of temporary employees in 2022.
  • The vast majority of insurers intend to offer flexible working arrangements as offices reopen. Eighty-nine percent plan to offer a hybrid work model and 45% plan to provide fully remote options.
  • If the industry follows through on its plans, we will see a 1.84% increase in industry employment during the next 12 months.
