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.

Plummer Wealth Strategists Joins LPL Financial as Ownership Passes to Second Generation

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC announced today that Plummer Wealth Strategists, formerly Plummer Financial, has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms. The team reported having served approximately $195 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement assets*, and joins LPL from Royal Alliance, part of the Advisor Group network.

Based in Memphis, Tenn., the firm was founded as an insurance-based practice more than 30 years ago by Laurence Plummer, Sr., and has since evolved to a comprehensive financial services and wealth management firm. With the move to LPL, Laurence “LV” Plummer Jr., CFP®, has bought the business from his father, who is planning to retire. LV is joined by four office support staff members.

“I followed my father’s footsteps into the industry in 2012 with a mission to set the practice on a path toward the future by introducing new and exciting services that would help our clients have deeper and more holistic experiences,” LV said. “My goal is to bring fresh perspectives and a host of new client-facing technologies to the company in order to enhance the service experience for all who encounter it.”

That vision led to partnering with LPL to transform their business model to a more client-focused experience. LV said LPL “checked all the boxes” in their search for a partner to help them take the practice to the next level.

“We’re planning a radical transformation to usher clients to a deeper experience, ensuring every single goal is in a measurable, customized financial plan,” LV said. “We are embracing this new world of planning, and we recognize that the human advisory capacity and deep, comprehensive financial planning is where we can really generate value for clients. That’s why it was important to partner with LPL, which stands behind our goals, has a dedicated financial planning consulting team and invests in innovative technology. We now have systems in place to support us with more streamlined operations so we can spend more valuable time with clients.”

Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business Development, added, “We extend a warm welcome to LV and his team, and are honored they turned to LPL in their journey to elevate their business. Like LV, we recognize that financial planning is one of the most valuable services an advisor can provide to clients. At LPL, we offer the research, integrated tools, training and other resources designed to help advisors deliver tailored strategies and financial plans to address the needs of each individual. We are excited about the future of comprehensive wealth management, and are proud to support Plummer Wealth Strategists in its transformation.”
