About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Community Associations Institute Seeks Preliminary Injunction Against Corporate Transparency Act

Falls Church, Va., Oct. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia will hold its first hearing in the case of Community Associations Institute, et al. v. Janet Yellen, et al. Community Associations Institute, the leading international authority on the community association housing model that includes condominium associations, homeowners associations, and housing cooperatives, is pursuing a preliminary injunction today in its lawsuit against the United States Department of the Treasury regarding the Corporate Transparency Act. The hearing will take place at 9:00 a.m. ET. 

“Today, we seek a preliminary injunction to block the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act’s reporting requirements until this matter has been fully adjudicated,” says Thomas M. Skiba, CAE, CAI’s chief executive officer. “Protecting United States community association governance is essential, and we are pursuing this legal action to ensure communities can operate free from unnecessary and burdensome regulations.” 

Enacted by Congress in 2021, the Corporate Transparency Act requires entities such as corporations and limited liability companies to disclose personal information about their beneficial owners to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. While CAI supports the goal of enhancing transparency to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, it argues the law's broad application improperly includes community associations. Unlike traditional businesses, community associations are nonprofit, volunteer-led organizations focused on managing and maintaining communities, with no more financial or ownership interest in the association than their fellow homeowners. Their purpose is not to generate profits or engage in commercial activities, making the application of these reporting requirements particularly burdensome and unnecessary. 

CAI seeks to halt the enforcement of the act’s reporting requirements against community associations while the lawsuit is pending. This legal action aims to protect community associations from burdensome regulations that impose significant administrative and privacy challenges on community association board members who volunteer their time and energy for civic purposes. 

The purpose of today’s hearing focuses on CAI's request for immediate relief and maintain the status quo as the court deliberates the merits of the case. CAI's legal team will advocate for a rapid response due to the impending Jan. 1 compliance deadline. A ruling on the preliminary injunction will follow in the coming weeks.
