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.

Lieff Cabraser Announces That Judge Grants Final Approval to Settlement Aimed at Implementing Landmark Reforms in University of Michigan Campus Sexual Abuse Class Action

By: via Business Wire

On August 3, 2022, U.S. District Judge Victoria A. Roberts issued an Order granting final approval to the settlement of the class action lawsuit against the University of Michigan arising out of UofM campus sexual misconduct. The settlement resolves a class action lawsuit filed in 2021 on behalf of current and future UM students led by senior Josephine Graham against the University of Michigan for its handling of allegations of sexual abuse against late former doctor and athletics program physician, Robert E. Anderson. Graham’s suit is a companion to a suit filed in March 2020 by survivors of Dr. Anderson, and is aimed at enacting sweeping policy changes to prevent and improve university responses to sexual violence on campus against students. In comments from the bench, Judge Roberts called the settlement an outstanding outcome that she hopes is emulated around the country.

“We are proud of this Settlement,” notes Lieff Cabraser senior partner Jonathan D. Selbin, who represents the plaintiffs in the case. “The decades of abuse by Dr. Anderson are a dark stain on the history of the University of Michigan. With this settlement, it takes one critical step toward taking accountability for that period and writing the next chapter in which it will become the Leader and Best in preventing and addressing sexual and gender abuse and violence on campus. We commend the University for doing so.” Selbin concluded, “This settlement also shows the unique power and role class actions can play in making our country and institutions better. We also want to thank our client, Josie Graham, for her vision and courage in stepping forward to improve a university she loves.”

A key part of the settlement includes the creation of a Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) for U of M, a multidisciplinary standing committee made up of independent experts such as Title IX and campus sexual misconduct experts and representatives of the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office and SafeHouse Center, students, survivors, community members, and select members of the administration and faculty.

CCRTs are widely recognized by experts on sexual misconduct prevention as an indispensable tool to achieve comprehensive prevention of campus sexual violence. They have been adopted by colleges and universities throughout the country, including the University of South Florida and the University of California. The 2017 Report by the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault identified CCRTs as the first of six primary elements of a comprehensive sexual misconduct prevention plan, and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women requires colleges and universities to establish CCRTs to receive funding under its Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus Program.

This working group will bring transparency and diverse perspectives to the University’s response to sexual misconduct to ensure it is driven and considered by all community stakeholders – not just the administration. The CCRT will have a leadership team comprised of three co-chairs which includes an outside expert, and a robust team of members selected from the on-campus and surrounding communities. This group of campus and community stakeholders will be tasked with, among other responsibilities:

  • Engaging stakeholders on all aspects of campus prevention and response to sexual violence;
  • Developing, reviewing, and advising on policy and practice improvements;
  • Educating the community about issues related to sexual violence;
  • Regularly meeting with the University President; and
  • Providing public updates on its efforts, including the University’s response to the CCRT’s recommended reforms, to provide accountability through transparency.
