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.

Calfee Welcomes Jodi D. Spencer, Policyholder Insurance Coverage Senior Counsel

By: via GlobeNewswire

Cleveland, July 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Cleveland-based law firm of Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP is pleased to announce that Jodi D. Spencer has joined the firm as an experienced Senior Counsel with Calfee’s policyholder-side Insurance Coverage practice group. Based in the Cleveland, Ohio office, Spencer joins the firm’s recognized team of insurance coverage lawyers representing policyholder clients in commercial insurance coverage disputes.

Spencer devoted nearly 100% of her more than 20 years of experience advising clients through all phases of insurance recovery, including policy analysis, claims handling, litigation, and strategic recovery planning. She has successfully litigated high-value coverage disputes and secured favorable rulings in both trial and appellate courts.

Spencer joins Calfee's Insurance Coverage and Insurance Recovery practice group as one of only 22 attorneys in Ohio certified as an Insurance Coverage Law Specialist by the Ohio State Bar Association. This prestigious certification, which Spencer earned as part of the inaugural class in 2014, underscores her deep expertise and commitment to excellence in this complex area of law. Additionally, she has been a member of the OSBA Specialist Certification Board for nearly a decade.

At Calfee, Spencer joins fellow certified specialists and partners K. James Sullivan and Matthew A. Chiricosta, further strengthening the firm's reputation as a leader in insurance coverage law and enhancing its ability to deliver strategic, high-level counsel to clients across industries.

In addition to Spencer’s involvement within Ohio’s coverage bar, she has a long history of service and leadership with the national American Bar Association’s Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee (ICLC), including serving as Vice Co-Chair of the ICLC (2021-2023). Spencer also served as Co-Chair and Vice Co-Chair of the annual four-day CLE seminar held in Tucson, Arizona (2017 and 2016, respectively). With 2,400 members, the ICLC is one of the largest and most active committees in the Section of Litigation, and the annual CLE conference in Tucson is one of ABA’s most well attended conferences. Spencer's experience with the ICLC has allowed her to develop strong working relationships with the industry’s top lawyers nationally and help to educate colleagues in the industry on current insurance coverage legal issues.

Spencer has been recognized by Chambers USA as a leading lawyer in Insurance in Ohio (Band 3). Calfee’s Insurance Coverage practice is ranked in Band 1 in Ohio, and three additional practice attorneys are also recognized as leading lawyers in Insurance in Ohio by Chambers USA.

"I'm honored to join Calfee's Insurance Coverage team," said Spencer. "I look forward to contributing my experience and insights to support our clients and help them confidently navigate complex insurance matters."

Calfee's Insurance Coverage practice group serves corporate insurance policyholder clients in Ohio and nationwide. The practice group's principal purpose for more than 25 years has been to help the firm's clients protect against and mitigate risk through the use of insurance. Calfee collaborates with and counsels clients on all aspects of their insurance coverage legal needs. 

"We are grateful to welcome Jodi Spencer to Calfee's Insurance Coverage practice group," said K. James Sullivan, Partner and Practice Group Leader. "Jodi brings a wealth of experience and a thorough understanding of commercial insurance matters. With Jodi, we are excited about our expanded capacity to help our clients."

Calfee assists clients with the placement and enhancement of their insurance policies, reviews of their existing policies, creatively and efficiently shaping and pursuing claims to get losses paid by their insurance companies via negotiation and litigation, and finding solutions for insurance coverage issues in corporate M&A deals. Calfee has experience with a wide array of policy types, from newer products such as cyber and M&A representations and warranties insurance to more traditional policy forms such as commercial general liability (CGL), umbrella, excess, property, D&O, professional liability, and EPL policies, to more specialized policies such as builder's risk, liquor, and aviation.

"Calfee continues to grow strategically by attracting top-tier legal talent, and we are excited to welcome Jodi to the firm and one of our high-growth practices in line with our strategic initiatives," said Thomas M. Welsh, Managing Partner of Calfee.
