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.

Colorado Springs Nightclub Shooting Highlights Need to Understand Sealed Records, Says Criminal Defense Attorney Alexis Austin

The tragic shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs on Saturday, November 19, has left many struggling to comprehend how the incident happened.

“Our hearts go out to those injured and the victims’ families, friends, and loved ones,” Alexis Austin, a criminal defense attorney at Right Law Group in Colorado Springs, said. “It’s a terrible and far-reaching crime affecting many individuals.”

But, Austin noted, the senseless crime also underscores the importance of understanding the process of unsealing records in Colorado — a question that has arisen for many people around the country in the aftermath of this event

The suspect, Anderson Lee Aldrich, was previously arrested in Colorado a few years prior for threatening violent behavior, but those records were sealed. He then reportedly used legally-obtained firearms when he entered Club Q and opened fire, injuring 17 people and killing five.

 The mass shooting has brought questions from the public regarding the State of Colorado’s process for sealing criminal records. Details in the shooter’s past seemed to indicate that this tragedy may have been prevented had some aspects of the Colorado criminal law process been observed, but understanding the process fully gives us some more clear answers

Club Q Shooter’s Sealed Criminal Past

Aldrich was arrested last year after threatening his mother in her home with a homemade explosive. The incident led to a standoff with police, the evacuation of nearby homes, and Aldrich being charged with kidnapping and felony menacing. However, for reasons still unclear, no conviction was ever sought for the case, and the record was later sealed

Qualifications for Sealing Colorado Criminal Records

In 2019, the Colorado legislature passed bill HB19-1275, which increases eligibility for criminal records to be sealed, giving those with a criminal past more future opportunities in society. 

According to the legislation, a further simplified process for sealing records is in place for cases that fit specific criteria:

  • The criminal case is dismissed either by the prosecution or after the defendant is acquitted at trial
  • The defendant completes a diversion agreement
  • The defendant completes a deferred judgment and sentence, and the charges are dismissed

“The sealing of criminal records, in most cases, gives a fresh start to individuals who want to turn over a new leaf,” Austin explained. “It’s intended to give people who’ve made mistakes in the past an opportunity to pursue a productive life—not to give violent people an opportunity to victimize the public.”

 In the case of Aldrich’s 2021 arrest—if charges were pursued and a successful conviction achieved—Aldrich likely would not have met the state’s qualifications for the record to be sealed. Further, Austin said, it’s possible he would not have been legally permitted to own the firearms he used in this month’s attack because a felony conviction would prevent him from owning weapons for a number of years — possibly his lifetime
