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.

Sanford Heisler Sharp Secures Class Certification In $85 Million ERISA Class Action Against Global Consulting, Actuarial Firm Milliman, Inc.

SEATTLE, Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sanford Heisler Sharp today announced that the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington has certified the class in Mattson v. Milliman, Inc., a class action lawsuit alleging Milliman breached its fiduciary duties under ERISA and violated the trust of some 4,000 of its current and former employees’ by mismanaging the company’s retirement funds.

The case has been litigated by Sanford Heisler Sharp Partners Charles Field and Kate Mueting; Chairman David Sanford; and Associates Denise Choung, David McNamee and Ari Rubin. Local counsel is Paul Taylor of Byrnes Keller Cromwell LLP. 

“Milliman failed to remove the in-house target risk funds that significantly underperformed meaningful benchmarks for nearly a decade,” said Charles Field, Chair of Sanford Heisler Sharp’s Financial Services Practice Group. “The inclusion of these underperforming target risk funds had negative long-term consequences for a large number of Milliman employees and is indefensible. We are pleased that the court has certified the class thereby paving the way for Plaintiff Mattson to seek and obtain relief on behalf of the thousands of individuals who were harmed by Milliman’s mismanagement.”

Milliman’s decision not to remove the underperforming target risk funds has cost the Fund and Milliman’s current and former employees as much as $85 million in retirement savings. In finding that the Rule 23 class certification requirements were met, Judge Zilly rejected the defendants’ arguments that the class could not be certified because some class members signed arbitration agreements. The court concluded that Munro v. University of Southern California controls and thus employees who signed arbitration agreements did so as employees and not on behalf of the ERISA Plan.

Plaintiffs and the class seek (1) restitution for financial losses to Plan participants and beneficiaries resulting from the Plan’s underperforming investments; (2) divestiture of imprudent investments; and (3) the removal of the fiduciaries who have violated their duties to the Plan’s participants and beneficiaries under ERISA.
