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 Named Finalist for Product Liability Practice Award

The National Law Journal and Law.com put Dallas-based firm in running for 2025 recognition

Dean Omar Branham Shirley, LLP, a national plaintiffs firm, has been named a finalist in the product liability category of Law.com’s Elite Trial Lawyers Awards. The firm is one of six finalists, with winners to be announced July 10 in New York City.

The firm’s selection is based on a series of groundbreaking verdicts holding corporations accountable for asbestos exposure through talc-based products, including Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Powder.

“The firm’s selection is a testament to the team we have here,” said partner Trey Branham. “Our work matters, the people we represent matter, and each of them deserves the very best of us.”

In 2024 alone, the firm secured several high-stakes verdicts for victims and their families, including:

  • A $260 million verdict in Oregon for Kyung Lee, a 49-year-old mother of three diagnosed with mesothelioma after lifelong talc use. Jurors awarded $60 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages after finding Johnson & Johnson knowingly sold asbestos-contaminated products.
  • A $63 million verdict in South Carolina for Michael Perry, a hospitality veteran diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma linked to Johnson & Johnson’s talc powder. The jury awarded $32.6 million in compensatory, and $30.7 million in punitive, damages.
  • A $45 million verdict in Illinois for the family of Theresa Garcia, a mother of six who died from mesothelioma tied to decades of talc powder use.
  • A $22.5 million verdict in Connecticut for Kathryn Barone, widow of an engineer exposed to asbestos-contaminated talc at a plastics plant, plus $7.5 million in punitive damages.
  • A $15 million verdict in Connecticut for Evan Plotkin, a philanthropist and artist diagnosed with mesothelioma after years of personal talc use.

“These cases are about more than compensation. They’re about accountability,” said partner Jessica Dean, who was named to National Law Journal’s Elite Women of the Plaintiffs Bar for 2025. “We’re proud to stand up for individuals and families whose lives have been devastated by corporations prioritizing profits over safety.”
