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.

Prudential and LPL Collaborate to Expand Access to Retirement Security

Prudential Financial, Inc. and LPL Financial LLC today announced a further expansion of their relationship, as the two firms collaborate to bring to market an Insurance Overlay retirement lifetime income strategy for LPL’s managed accounts platform.

The solution will be designed to reach financial advisors who do not typically use protected lifetime income and other insurance-led retirement solutions in their wealth management practices today. Recent “Peak 65” research shows that more than 11,000 Americans are turning 65 every day1. And although people also are living longer than ever, only a small fraction of the $34 trillion in retail retirement assets today are protected against longevity risk and retirement sequence of returns risk caused by market volatility1.

“We are excited about this opportunity to deepen our already strong relationship, reaching an even broader set of advisors within LPL’s industry-leading network,” said Ann Nanda, head of Future Growth Initiatives and Distribution Enablement at Prudential Retirement Strategies. “Our pioneering work together will expand access to retirement security, helping more clients protect their life’s work, so they can live better lives, longer.”

This solution will result in offering multiple Prudential individual, insurance-based retirement products for consideration by LPL’s network of 29,000 financial advisors. This also follows the recently launched strategic relationship and integration of Prudential Advisors, Prudential’s U.S. retail arm, onto the LPL Financial wealth management platform.

“Our collaboration with Prudential marks a significant step forward in how we empower advisors and clients to secure their retirement futures,” said Cheri Belski, executive vice president and head of LPL Investment Management Solutions. “Retirement strategies are at the heart of our mission, and we’re making them a central focus of our ongoing innovation. By investing deeply in retirement solutions like the Insurance Overlay, LPL is dedicated to helping advisors deliver lasting income security to clients — today and for years to come.”
