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.

5 Ways to Use Your Life Insurance Dividends

One of the benefits of certain whole life insurance policies is that, though not guaranteed, they can grant policyholders dividends. Dividends are typically associated with stock ownership, but certain participating insurance policies do offer this as a benefit to policyholders when the company performs better than expected. There’s more than one way to utilize these dividends and some may be better than others depending on your situation. Dividends from whole life insurance are for the most part not taxable because they are considered as returns of paid premiums. They are usually disbursed on the anniversary of your policy. Before you decide what to do with your dividends, let’s look at some of your options.

Take them as cash: This option lets you receive the dividend amount in cash. . This option gives you some spending money in-hand, so it may be a good choice for anyone looking to repay credit card debt, boost emergency savings, or simply contribute to a vacation fund.

Reduce premiums: You can use your dividends to help pay for your policy, effectively reducing the premiums you owe. This can be a great option, particularly if your income or job situation is in flux: You can get more room in your budget, but your policy is unaffected. In some cases, your policy may grow to the point where dividends can cover your premium for the full year.

Consider Paid-Up Additional Insurance: Getting paid-up additional insurance is a way to increase coverage. It can increase death benefits or living benefits. Paid up additional insurance increases the cash value of your policy and, as a result, can increase future potential dividends, too.

Reduce or pay off a policy loan: If you’ve already borrowed against a policy, then you can use your dividends to repay what you owe. An outstanding policy loan reduces the death benefit of a whole life insurance policy, so it can make sense to repay it quickly.

As you can see, there are quite a few options when it comes to making use of whole life insurance dividends, but the right one will differ from person to person. And it doesn’t have to stay the same year-to-year: You can change how you use your dividends depending on your situation.
