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.

Understanding Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Filing in the U.S

The Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) filing is a crucial compliance requirement in the United States, introduced to increase transparency in business operations and prevent illegal activities such as Money laundering, tax evasion, and fraud. Here's an overview of what BOI filing entails, who needs to file it, the penalties for non-compliance, and how to file.

What is Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI)?

BOI refers to the disclosure of information about individuals who own or control a significant stake in a company. The goal is to identify the true owners or controllers behind businesses, especially those used as shell companies to conceal illicit activities.

The BOI reporting requirement is part of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which was enacted on January 1, 2021. The law mandates certain companies to report their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Seek Professional Guidance: Consult legal or compliance experts to ensure accurate filing and adherence to deadlines.

Who Needs to File a BOI Report?

The BOI filing requirement applies to two main categories of entities:

1. Reporting Companies

Domestic Entities: Corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), and other entities created by filing documents with a secretary of state or similar office.

Foreign Entities: Entities registered to do business in the U.S.

2. Exempt Entities

While most entities need to file, some are exempt due to their pre-existing reporting obligations or low-risk profiles, including:

  • Publicly traded companies.
  • Banks.
  • Credit unions.
  • Insurance companies.
  • Securities brokers and dealers.
  • Tax-exempt entities (e.g., nonprofits).

3. Beneficial Owners

Individuals who meet one or both of the following criteria:

Ownership Criterion: Owns at least 25% of the reporting company.

Control Criterion: Exercises substantial control over the entity (e.g., senior officers or decision-makers).

What Information Must Be Filed?

A BOI report must include the following details about each beneficial owner and company applicant:

  • Full legal name.
  • Date of birth.
  • Residential address (for individuals) or business address (for company applicants).
  • A unique identifying number from an acceptable identification document (e.g., U.S. passport, state ID, or driver's license).
  • Copies of the identification documents.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Failing to comply with BOI filing requirements can result in severe penalties:

  • Civil Penalties: Up to $500 per day for each day the violation continues.
  • Criminal Penalties: Fines up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 2 years for willful non-compliance, submitting false or fraudulent information, or unauthorized disclosure of reported information.

How to File a BOI Report

The filing process involves the following steps:

1. Prepare Required Information

Gather all necessary information about the reporting company and its beneficial owners.

2. Access FinCEN's Filing System

The BOI reports must be submitted electronically through the FinCEN BOI Reporting Portal. FinCEN provides step-by-step guidance on their official website.

3. Complete and Submit the Form

Fill out the online form, upload the required documentation, and review the information before submission. Ensure accuracy to avoid penalties.

4. Keep Records

Maintain copies of the submitted reports and related documentation for your records.

Tips for Compliance

Understand Your Filing Obligations: Determine if your entity qualifies as a reporting company.

Seek Professional Guidance: Consult legal or compliance experts to ensure accurate filing and adherence to deadlines.
