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.

Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions Discusses New Law Firm Rate Findings on Legal Speak Podcast

ELM Solutions’ Nathan Cemenska shares data and insights from the company’s most recent LegalVIEW Insights report

Nathan Cemenska, Director of Legal Operations and Industry Insights at Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions, is featured on the latest installment of Law.com’s popular Legal Speak podcast, where he shares new insights into how corporate legal departments can successfully negotiate against substantial rate increases requested by some of the industry’s largest firms.

Cemenska elaborates on data sourced from the most recent entry in the company’s ongoing LegalVIEW Insights report series, which leverages more than $155 billion in legal invoice data to offer a deeper dive into the trends, relationships and opportunities continuing to push the legal ecosystem forward. Published earlier this month, the LegalVIEW Insights 2023-1 report found that corporate legal departments may hold more pricing negotiation power over both large and small law firms than previously realized, with approximately 32% of the timekeepers practicing inside the Am Law 100 receiving no rate increases at all during the period July 2021 to June 2022.

Cemenska tells Legal Speak host Zack Needles that in-house legal teams can bolster their negotiating power with large- and medium-sized law firms alike by gradually building, testing, and – should the results warrant it – expanding their relationships with smaller, often less expensive firms. Growing a diverse portfolio of legal service providers takes time, but the investment can pay dividends.

“Buyers at corporate law departments that have invested in cultivating relationships with a broad range of trusted law firm partners will find themselves in a strong position to negotiate rates,” Cemenska says. “However, that requires foresight in addition to an intimate understanding of an organization’s legal spend.”

Owned and operated by ALM Media, Law.com is the hub connecting more than 18 online U.S. national and regional award-winning legal publications, including The American Lawyer and Legaltech News.
