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.

While MSG Stalls and Refuses to Give Fans a Financial Break – Optimum Has Ways for Customers to Watch the Knicks, Islanders, Devils, and Rangers

By: via Business Wire

One Click, Call, or Chat to Optimum and We Can Review Your Options to Help You Watch Your Favorite Teams Right Away and Get the Content You Want at an Affordable Price

Optimum issues the following statement about customer friendly options available to customers:

“At Optimum, we have a clear mission: to provide the programming that our customers want and give it to them at an affordable price. The problem: MSG Networks demanded that customers who don’t watch their content – who are the majority – have to pay for it anyway AND demanded that all customers pay an exorbitant amount in fees to carry its content.

Now more than ever, especially in this economy, it is unfair for MSG Networks to demand non-viewers to pay and demand high license fees, especially when there are ways for fans to get games directly from MSG through their direct-to-consumer Gotham Sports app.

While we all wait for MSG to stop stalling and to give fans a needed financial break, Optimum is working on ways for everyone to see the games. We have a comprehensive toolkit of options to take care of our customers to ensure they get what they want based on their unique circumstances.

For fans, this includes offers to help offset and defray the costs of Gotham Sports and other services so they can keep watching their favorite teams.

And for the hundreds of thousands of non-sports fans, we have new affordable and customer-friendly-video packages that get them the content they want and need.

Consumer viewing habits have changed dramatically over the last few years, and we know that content is not one size fits all, so we are tailoring our offerings to meet customer needs individually. That’s why we want customers to call us directly — to understand what’s important to them and continue to support their viewing and entertainment interests accordingly.

At Optimum, we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of options to suit our customers and our team is ready to help customers find the best packages for them. Just call us at 866-347-4784, chat with us or visit www.optimum.com/MSG to learn more.”

Additional information on the negotiations with MSG Networks:

Optimum offered to absorb MSG Networks’ egregious price demands if we could package its content in a way that would give more flexibility and control to our customers, so that fans could continue to watch and pay for their content while non-viewers would not be forced to pay for what they don’t watch. MSG Networks said no and refused multiple offers from us to reach a deal.

It is no secret that viewership for sports has become increasingly fragmented across countless streaming platforms and services. Yet MSG Networks continues to squeeze its viewers for more money to watch their content, refusing to evolve or deviate from a broken model that is outdated based on the evolution of the entertainment industry, is anti-consumer, and unsustainable in today’s programming landscape.

Optimum wants to partner with programmers who put customer choice and flexibility at the center of every decision. We are disappointed in MSG Networks, but most importantly, sorry that our customers have to experience this change, which is why Optimum is working directly with customers to provide alternate viewing options to ensure that they never have to miss a game.
