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.

Dean Omar Branham Shirley Recognized Twice Among ALM’s 2024 Top 100 Verdicts

Both decisions benefited plaintiffs harmed by using Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder

National plaintiffs firm Dean Omar Branham Shirley, LLP, has been recognized by ALM and Law.com for securing two of the largest jury verdicts of 2024.

Both cases involved claims against pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) over its talc-based Baby Powder, which exposed users to asbestos, a known carcinogen.

The 29th-ranked case on the ALM list was a $260 million verdict in Oregon on behalf of Kyung Lee, a 49-year-old mother of three who was diagnosed with mesothelioma after lifelong use of J&J’s Baby Powder. Jurors awarded $60 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages after finding that Johnson & Johnson knowingly sold asbestos-contaminated products.

The firm also recorded the 82nd-ranked verdict, a $63 million judgment awarded in South Carolina to Michael Perry, a longtime hospitality professional diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma also linked to Johnson & Johnson’s talc powder. The jury awarded $32.6 million in compensatory damages and $30.7 million in punitive damages.

“These cases reflect the power of the jury system and the importance of holding even the most powerful corporations accountable,” said Trey Branham, a partner at Dean Omar Branham Shirley. “Our clients showed incredible strength in telling their stories, and we’re honored to have helped secure justice for them.”

Compiled by Law.com’s VerdictSearch analysts, the 2024 Top 100 Verdicts list ranks the year’s largest jury awards by gross amount. Touted as the most comprehensive roundup of top jury awards nationwide, the list highlights the year’s most significant courtroom wins across the country.
