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.

Milliman Retiree Health Cost Index: A 65-year-old couple needs $388,000 in savings for healthcare in retirement

Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today released its 2025 Retiree Health Cost Index (RHCI), which projects how much money, on average, a healthy 65-year-old can expect to spend on healthcare costs in retirement. The index explains how factors like where a person lives, when they retire, and which coverage they choose can impact the total cost of premiums and out-of-pocket expenses.

For 2025, we project a healthy 65-year-old couple will need to save on average:

  • $388,000 under Original Medicare with Medigap Plan G plus Part D coverage (Medigap). This reflects a $7,000 decrease from the year prior.
  • $183,000 with Medicare Advantage plus Part D (MAPD), increasing $1,000 from the year prior.

The RHCI also looks at how these costs have changed over the past three years. Between 2022 and 2025, the healthcare savings needed by our couple with Medigap coverage increased $17,000; savings estimates for our MAPD couple decreased by $12,000 during the same time period. Drivers of these cost trends include price and utilization changes, projected future inflation, and policy and regulatory changes such as the Inflation Reduction Act.

"Many factors can impact the amount of savings retirees need for their healthcare, including when they retire, where they live, health status, and the type of coverage they have," said Robert Schmidt, co-author of the Retiree Health Cost Index. “Understanding what these costs are and how they can change year-to-year is key for both consumers and employers.”
