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.

Lieff Cabraser; Epps, Holloway; CohenMalad; Wagstaff & Cartmell; and Morgan & Morgan Announce Filing of Class Action Against Textron Aviation Over Alleged Cessna CJ4 Aircraft Corrosion Defect

JCC Transport, LLC and CBP Air Logistics, LLC allege that all Textron Cessna Citation CJ4 Aircraft have a dangerous, uniform defect that can cost as much as $500,000 or more to repair properly.

On September 2, 2025, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP; Epps, Holloway, Deloach & Hoipkemier, LLC; CohenMalad LLP; Wagstaff & Cartmell, LLP; and Morgan & Morgan, P.A. jointly filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court of Kansas against Textron Aviation, Inc. (“Textron”) alleging that a uniform defect leads to corrosion of the structural components of Textron’s Cessna Citation CJ4 aircraft, particularly the frames of the windshield and cockpit windows. If left unchecked, the corrosion caused by the defect can cause the plane to become unairworthy and potentially lead to catastrophic failure.

In April of 2024, Textron issued a service bulletin (SB525C-56-01), recommending that all CJ4 aircraft be inspected and, if necessary, repaired due to a condition in the window frames that causes “moisture incursion.” To date, however, Textron has not acknowledged that this “moisture incursion” is caused by a common defect present in all CJ4 aircraft. Nor has Textron warned owners of the significant potential safety risks the corrosion poses. The Complaint alleges that Textron is charging owners and lessees hundreds of thousands of dollars for repairs rather than covering the full cost to fully address the defect.

“This lawsuit is not just about protecting the owners and lessees of Cessna CJ4 Aircraft; it is about protecting the families, businesses, and crew that depend on these planes daily for safe travel,” notes Epps Holloway, Deloach & Hoipkemier, LLC partner Kevin Epps. “Textron Aviation is understating the actual costs to address the damage caused by this defect, while minimizing the danger every passenger of a CJ4 faces.”

“Preliminary expert analysis by an aerospace engineering expert has determined that this corrosion is the result of either a defective design or manufacturing process,” notes Lieff Cabraser senior partner Jonathan Selbin, another of the lead attorneys representing plaintiffs in the case. “It occurs when the aircraft is maintained in accordance with the aircraft’s maintenance manual and all applicable FAA standards; it is not related to the actions of any Cessna CJ4 owner.” Selbin continued, “We believe Textron needs to do right by all of their customers, warn them of the danger, and fix this problem at no cost to them before someone is hurt.”
