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.

Hagens Berman Signals Major Turning Point in Insulin Fair Pricing Class-Action Lawsuit

Attorneys representing individuals living with diabetes say historic drug-pricing lawsuit is approaching a breakthrough moment

A historic fair drug-pricing lawsuit has reached a milestone moment, according to attorneys at Hagens Berman and Carella Byrne Cecchi Olstein Brody & Agnello who represent a class of those living with diabetes fighting the rising price of insulin.

The law firms first began the crusade against insulin-maker Eli Lilly in 2017 and have been leading the charge to make a difference for the millions of people who rely on insulin on a daily basis, and recent activity from the court has spurred attorneys in a new direction.

“Since we began this case, we’ve received calls, emails and messages from individuals underscoring the drastic need for change,” said Steve Berman, managing partner and co-founder of Hagens Berman and court-appointed co-lead counsel representing insulin purchasers in the lawsuit. “When drug makers charge prohibitively high prices for life-saving medication, a lawsuit like this truly has the potential to save lives.”

“On the Side of Justice”

In 2023, Hagens Berman announced a settlement worth more than $500 million, celebrating the power of class actions to change. The deal specifically benefits those who are underinsured or paying with co-insurance. Since the settlement was reached, however, the court has denied certification of the class. Hagens Berman has forged ahead in a new direction, continuing the fight for fair drug pricing.

“It’s not the first time that our firm has faced pushback in the face of monumental shifts and historic litigation,” Berman said. “Change often doesn’t come easily, but we don’t give up when we are on the side of justice.”

The firm plans to pursue amended action in federal court relying on New Jersey’s powerful state RICO Act.

Next Steps for Those Affected

Now, the firm seeks input from those who bought insulin after 2019 either with co-insurance or at full price. The firm continues its fight for rights to compensation due to an alleged overpricing scheme regarding Apidra, Basaglar, Fiasp, Lantus, Levemir, Novolog, Humalog and Toujeo. Those affected may contact Hagens Berman’s team now.

The class action details several accounts from patients resorting to extreme measures to survive rising insulin prices, including starving themselves to control their blood sugar levels, intentionally slipping into diabetic ketoacidosis to receive insulin samples from hospital emergency rooms, under-dosing insulin and taking expired insulin.

“This lawsuit belongs to the millions of Americans living with diabetes, and this is their milestone moment,” Berman said. “This litigation has the power and potential to shift the landscape and set a precedent for the future to fight the rising cost of prescriptions.”

During the years of litigation, the firm has already persevered through multiple rounds of motion to dismiss briefing, three amended complaints and extensive discovery, including more than 60 depositions of plaintiffs and defendants’ employees.
