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.

Zehl & Associates Represents Three Siblings in Lawsuit Over Deadly Test Drive Collision That Killed Their Mother

Driver, car salesman and auto dealership named as defendants in fatal Odessa accident

Zehl & Associates has filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of three siblings in a June 7 two-vehicle accident in Odessa in which the siblings’ mother, Quma Martinez Carrillo, 47, was killed.

According to the filing and police reports, one of the defendants, Benjamin Meece, 37, was test-driving a 2021 Dodge Challenger alongside car salesman Kenneth Salas in the passenger seat. Salas was working on behalf of All American Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Odessa, which is listed as a defendant along with Meece and Salas.

Mr. Meece was driving eastbound in the 4800 block of East University Drive in Odessa when the Challenger and Ms. Carrillo’s Honda Accord crashed at the intersection of Oakwood Drive, ejecting her from the vehicle. Surveillance cameras and black box data from the car indicate that the Challenger reached speeds up to 124 mph.

Compounding the impact of this tragedy, according to the lawsuit, Ms. Carrillo’s daughter Natasha drove past the scene to get coffee right after the accident and saw her mother’s body on the street.

“Benjamin Meece had no business being allowed behind the wheel in the first place. On top of that, his recklessness and negligence were enabled by a man trying to make a sale,” said Zehl & Associates founding partner Ryan Zehl. “Nothing will bring Quma back to her family, but we want to make sure that Mr. Meece, Mr. Salas and the dealership are held accountable.”

Officers say Meece tried to flee the scene on foot after the crash. He was arrested and charged with four felony charges, including manslaughter and aggravated assault. The lawsuit notes that Meece has an extensive arrest record, including charges of criminal trespass, child endangerment, vehicle theft, breaking and entering, theft, forgery and more.

The plaintiffs – Natasha Hitchcock, Alexis Urias, and Ms. Carrillo’s minor son, identified as G.C. in the filing – are seeking to recover damages including court costs, funeral costs, loss of income, loss of companionship and mental anguish.

The case is Natasha Hitchcock, et al. v. Lithia CJDO, Inc., Benjamin Meece, and Kenneth Salas in the 70th District Court of Ector County, Texas. The case number is A24070751CV.
