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.

Christopher Paulison to Join U.S. Bank as Kandace Heck Retires

Seamless transition between audit executives to begin this month

U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB), parent company of U.S. Bank, announced today that Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Audit Executive Kandace Heck plans to retire from the company later this year and will be succeeded by Christopher Paulison.

“For the past eight years, Kandace has been an important voice at U.S. Bank, leading our Corporate Audit Services function and working to strengthen our internal audit capabilities. She brought credible challenge in a time of tremendous change. We wish her well as she plans to retire from the company,” said Gunjan Kedia, U.S. Bancorp CEO. “We also are delighted to welcome Chris. Among the things that most impressed the Board about him were his wide-ranging and deep experience in the financial services industry and his perspective on how we could improve capabilities and operations to support a strong, stable company that clients and shareholders will embrace for years to come. We are confident his leadership will be an excellent complement to our existing executive team.”

Heck joined U.S. Bank as chief audit executive in April 2017, after building a meaningful career in audit and accounting with companies like Northern Trust Corporation, Goldman Sachs, and Deloitte & Touche. All told, she spent more than 30 years in the industry, working both in the United States and overseas. She has been a strong community partner involved in theater, public libraries, public media, and organizations committed to improving the workplace.

Given the independent nature of the company’s Corporate Audit Services function, the Audit Committee of the U.S. Bancorp Board of Directors oversaw the process for the appointment of the chief audit executive. Paulison was hired with an eye toward continuing to build on a strong audit foundation, ensuring a robust organization is in place to support ongoing growth and lasting shareholder value.

Paulison joins U.S. Bank on Sept. 29 with more than 30 years of audit experience in large corporate settings and management consulting firms. Most recently, he was a managing director of financial services at Protiviti Inc., where he led the internal audit engagement teams for top-tier financial institutions based in New York and London. His impressive career has afforded him leadership responsibility and exposure to our industry through roles at well-established firms such as Grant Thornton and Ernst & Young, and he is well-versed in the rigors and demands financial services firms face. An alumnus of the University of Notre Dame and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, he will be based in Minneapolis and report directly to the Audit Committee, as well as administratively to Kedia.
