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.

Surprising Things That Are Tax-Deductible

From maximizing their tax credits to researching what happens when filing taxes late, Americans today are keen for opportunities to hang onto their income during tax season. For taxpayers looking to itemize, the list of potentially tax-deductible expenses is long—here are some that may be surprising.

Donated items

It’s no secret that charitable gifts are generally income tax-deductible, but taxpayers may be able to claim more than just monetary donations to qualified charities and religious organizations. Taxpayers may be surprised to find that donated items might also be tax-deductible. That means taxpayers might be able to deduct the fair market value of things like clothing, shoes, furniture, household goods, and more.

Education

Anyone seeking to invest in themselves through education should consider calculating their applicable deductions. For example, in 2022 taxpayers might be able to deduct up to $4000 annually for higher education tuition and fees for themselves, a spouse, or a dependent. Similarly, with the Lifetime Learning Credit, those engaged in training or continuing education might be able to take a tax credit of up to $2000 of their related expenses every year. The tuition and fees deduction and the Lifetime Learning Credit are subject to earnings phaseouts.

Student loan interest

In addition to qualifying tuition and fees, student loan interest might also be deductible. Those paying back student loans might be able deduct up to $2500 in 2022 in student loan interest paid. Taxpayers looking to deduct student loan interest must meet specific criteria related to income level and filing status to qualify, so it’s important to check with a tax advisor.

Claiming deductible expenses

From charitable gifts to student loan interest, some surprising things might be tax-deductible. While just a few examples, this list shows that tax deductions aren’t the sole purview of business owners. Even those who prefer to claim the standard deduction may be able to benefit from being aware of the breadth of deductions that may be claimed when tax season arrives. By staying mindful of potentially deductible line items, taxpayers itemizing their expenses may find unforeseen opportunities to reduce their liability this tax season.
