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.

Chad Baruch Wins Appeal for Dallas County Officials in Budget Dispute

Ruling over juvenile department employee salaries sets precedent for local governance

The Texas 5th Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of the Dallas County Commissioners Court in a lawsuit brought by the Dallas County Juvenile Board that challenged commissioners’ control of the county budget.

“This ruling sets an important precedent for local governance,” said Johnston Tobey Baruch managing shareholder Chad Baruch, who represented Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins and Commissioners Dr. Elba Garcia and Andy Sommerman in the appeal. “The decision allows for the Dallas County Commissioners Court to retain its authority over budgetary decisions in accordance with Texas law.”

The case arose from the Commissioners Court’s request for treatment records related to juvenile detainees following allegations that children were being confined in cells for up to 23 hours a day. Commissioners refused to approve the Juvenile Board’s budget and salary increases until the requested records were provided, prompting the Juvenile Board to file suit in state district court. The Commissioners Court filed a procedural motion challenging the district court’s jurisdiction to hear the case, which was denied, and appealed that decision to the 5th Court of Appeals.

On appeal, Mr. Baruch argued that the Commissioners Court acted within its authority, emphasizing that the lower court’s ruling improperly considered political motives outside its jurisdiction. The Court of Appeals dismissed claims that the Commissioners Court violated the Texas Open Meetings Act and rejected the Juvenile Board’s attempt to seek retroactive salary payments.

In addition, the ruling upheld the trial court’s dismissal of subsequent claims against Judge Jenkins and Commissioners Garcia and Sommerman.

The case is Dallas County Commissioners Court v. Dallas County Juvenile Board et al., Cause No. 05-24-00151-CV.
