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.

Strive Urges McDonald's to Set Discrimination Aside and Put Shareholders First

By: via Business Wire

Strive, representing its clients who are McDonald’s shareholders, expressed concerns over the fast-food giant’s pursuit of value-destroying and potentially illegal diversity policies, particularly in light of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.

In a letter addressed to McDonald's CEO and Chairman of the Board, Strive highlights the following key issues:

  1. The substantial legal and business risks associated with McDonald's adoption of race- and gender-based targets for its board of directors, management, and employee ranks, and corresponding mandates for suppliers and vendors.
  2. The need for McDonald’s to revisit these policies to avoid the potential lawsuits, investigations, and regulatory actions that are likely to follow the Supreme Court's ruling that declared all racial discrimination, including affirmative action, illegal under the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause and the Civil Rights Act.
  3. McDonald's possible breach of fiduciary duty through its embrace of its stakeholder capitalism.

Strive underscored that McDonald's diversity policies not only pose legal risks but financial risks as well. Studies show that promoting and hiring based on race and sex, rather than merit, fails to improve financial performance. Consequently, McDonald’s policies are likely already costing shareholders and jeopardizing the company’s long-term value, even setting the legal risks aside.

Given the seriousness of these concerns, Strive urged McDonald's to prioritize its shareholders’ financial interests alone by rescinding its diversity targets for employees and suppliers, unequivocally denouncing all forms of discrimination, and committing to merit-based decision-making that provides an equal opportunity to every applicant, employee and supplier, regardless of race or sex.

"Prior to the Fair Admissions decision, many workplace DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs were legally dubious,” stated Justin Danhof, Strive Head of Corporate Governance. “The ruling now confirms that those programs run afoul of the Constitution as well as discrete state and federal laws. McDonald's internal hiring quotas and diversity proscriptions for suppliers exemplifies how the fast-food giant impermissibly divides people by race in precisely the way that the Supreme Court just struck down. To comply with the law and safeguard shareholders from costly litigation, McDonald’s should swiftly eliminate these programs.”
