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.

CFP Board Appoints Chia-Li Chien, Ph.D., CFP® as Managing Director of Professional Practice

By: via Business Wire

CFP Board today announced the appointment of Chia-Li Chien, Ph.D., CFP® as its Managing Director of Professional Practice. Chien will oversee CFP Board’s competency standards for certification, including examinations, experience, education and continuing education requirements.

As Managing Director, Chien ensures that CFP® certification meets the annual third-party accreditation standards of the National Commission for Certifying Agencies and that the CFP® exam remains a valid, reliable and legally defensible assessment, upholding the highest professional standards. She also provides executive leadership for stakeholder services, driving excellence in administration, enforcement and practitioner engagement.

“Chia-Li’s unique combination of academic expertise, practice experience and leadership in financial planning education make her the ideal fit for this role,” said CFP Board CEO Kevin R. Keller, CAE. “Her deep understanding of the financial planning profession is a key asset in our work to keep CFP® certification impactful and relevant.”

Chien joins CFP Board from The American College of Financial Services, where she served as Associate Provost of Undergraduate & Graduate Programs, overseeing standards, policies and curriculum management. During her time there, she developed a new CFP Board Registered Program — the Master of Science in Financial Planning.

With a decade of experience in financial services education, Chien has been instrumental in developing CFP Board Registered Programs, including those at Ball State University and California Lutheran University. Before leading financial education programs, she was a CFP® practitioner and held several senior management roles in Fortune 500 companies.

A longtime CFP Board volunteer, Chien was Chair of the 2024 Council on Education, a mentor in the WIN program and a CFP exam writer and reviewer for over a decade.

“I’m thrilled to step into this role,” said Chien. “I’m eager to build on CFP Board’s legacy of excellence in step with the evolving financial planning profession.”

Chien holds a Ph.D. in financial and retirement planning and an M.S. in financial services from The American College of Financial Services. She earned an M.S. in insurance from the University of Hartford and her bachelor’s degree in finance from Central Connecticut State University.

Based in CFP Board’s Washington, D.C., headquarters, Chien will report to CFP Board COO K. Dane Snowden. She joined the organization on April 7. CFP Board’s recruiting partner, Vetted Solutions, assisted in the search for this new role.
