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.

Jury Selection, Opening Statements, and Robert De Niro to Take Witness Stand Monday in Gender Discrimination & Retaliation Case Against Robert De Niro & Canal Productions

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Sanford Heisler Sharp legal team representing Graham Chase Robinson, the former vice president of production and finance for Robert De Niro’s production company Canal Productions, will select an 8-person jury and present their opening statement in her gender discrimination case against the actor and his company.

Robinson v. De Niro begins today at 9:00 a.m. in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, 500 Pearl Street, with Judge Lewis J. Liman presiding in Courtroom 15 C.

Brent Hannafan, partner and Co-Chair of the Trial Practice Group at Sanford Heisler Sharp, will present the opening statement outlining Ms. Robinson’s pending claims against De Niro and Canal. Arising during her more than 11 years of employment for the two-time Academy Award winner, the claims include gender discrimination and retaliation in violation of the New York City Human Rights Law.

“Ms. Robinson is ready to tell her story to the jury,” said Hannafan. “Her discrimination and retaliation claims are compelling and the evidence supporting them is clear. We believe when all the testimony has been heard, the jury will agree with us that De Niro discriminated and retaliated against Ms. Robinson.”

Ms. Robinson worked as De Niro’s lead assistant starting in February 2008. Ultimately, she became Canal’s vice president of production and finance, but after lodging complaints of gender discrimination, her job responsibilities were reduced, which drove Ms. Robinson to resign in April 2019.

Robinson alleges that De Niro and Canal subjected her to demeaning comments and conduct based on her gender, assigned her stereotypical female job duties inconsistent with her job title, paid her less than a male employee based on her gender, and allowed De Niro’s girlfriend Tiffany Chen to target her with false accusations about a romantic interest in De Niro. Ms. Robinson also alleges the defendants stripped her of her job duties in retaliation for expressing concern about Ms. Chen’s comments and treatment of her.

In addition to De Niro and Ms. Robinson, a dozen or more witnesses may testify during the trial including De Niro’s girlfriend Tiffany Chen, his lawyer Tom Harvey, his accountant Michael Tasch, and a number of current or former employees who overlapped with Ms. Robinson at Canal from 2008 to 2019.

The trial is expected to last two weeks. The case is Robinson v. De Niro et al., case number 1:19-cv-09156.
