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.

Court Grants Final Approval in General Electric ERISA Case

BOSTON, March 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Judge Indira Talwani of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts has granted final approval of a $61 million cash settlement in IN RE: GE ERISA LITIGATION. Sanford Heisler Sharp first filed the Class Complaint in 2017. Subsequently, other firms joined and co-litigated the matter on behalf of a nationwide class for almost 8 years through hard fought litigation and settlement.

“This is the largest settlement ever in an ERISA case alleging a retirement plan improperly offered proprietary funds. It is a great result for the class restoring to their accounts much needed money for their retirement savings,” said Charles Field, Partner at Sanford Heisler Sharp and counsel for the class.

The approved Settlement Agreement provides that Defendants will pay $61,000,000 in cash (the “Settlement Amount”) to resolve all of Plaintiffs’ Released Claims against Defendants and the Released Parties.

Plaintiffs alleged the GE Funds were managed by GEAM, GE’s wholly owned investment management company, and were the only actively managed options available to Plan participants. Plaintiffs claimed that the GE Funds substantially underperformed other comparable funds during the Class Period. Plaintiffs further alleged Defendants refused to consider adding better performing comparable funds, removing any of the GE Funds, or replacing the managers, and that they thereby breached their duties of loyalty and prudence to monitor and remove them from the Plan. Around the same time these breaches were taking place, GE was exploring the sale of GEAM, which ultimately resulted in the sale of GEAM to State Street for $485 million in 2016. Plaintiffs alleged Defendants retained the underperforming funds to elevate GEAM’s assets under management and to collect fees, inflate the sale price of GEAM and use the proceeds to pay-down debt GE owed to its underfunded defined benefit pension plan.

“This was a long and hard-fought case and illustrates that Sanford Heisler Sharp will go the distance and is in these cases for the long haul,” Field said.
