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.

New Survey Shows 45% Of People Had Credit Card Debt Before Paying For Their Wedding

As the cost of wedding planning continues to rise, more and more couples face the harsh reality that their finances may not be able to cover their dreams for their special day.

According to a recent survey conducted by U.S. News, nearly half (45%) of respondents revealed that they experienced credit card debt before tying the knot. Furthermore, almost two-thirds of respondents – 65.9% – said their credit card debt impacted the budget they could set aside for the wedding.

It’s proof that having a money conversation when planning a wedding is critical so newlyweds can navigate paying for a wedding while simultaneously paying off debt, too. But how do you broach the subject, and what can you and your partner do to help pay for your wedding? Here’s what you need to know.

Should you avoid going into debt to pay for your wedding?

Considering the long-term implications of going into debt for a wedding is essential. Sure, it may seem like a great way to have your dream wedding, but the reality is that you could end up paying for it for years to come.

Before deciding, weigh the pros and cons of going into debt for your special day. Consider what payment terms are available and if it’s worth the long-term commitment.

Think about other options you have to pay for your wedding without debt. Do you have enough saved up? Could your family contribute? It’s important to be realistic with your budget to ensure you don’t overextend yourself.

Remember that your wedding day is special but doesn’t define your future. Take the right steps when planning your wedding.

How to talk to your partner about debt before getting married

Money conversations can be difficult, but they are essential when planning a wedding. Before tying the knot, having a conversation with your partner about debt is crucial.

First, understand each other’s financial situation. Talk openly and honestly about your current debt and any debts you expect to take on in the future. Discuss how you’ll handle issues like credit card spending, student loans, and other financial obligations.

Next, establish a plan for managing your finances as a couple. This could include setting a budget, creating a savings plan, and working together to pay off debt.

Finally, create a plan for the wedding itself. Talk through the wedding details and decide who will pay for what.

It is important to remember that you will impact each other’s finances going forward and that open communication is vital. Start these money conversations early and ensure they are part of your wedding planning process.

The bottom line

With the rising costs for wedding-related items, it’s important to have open and candid conversations about money on your part. Consider all possible options and make practical decisions – even if they mean compromising on your “dream” wedding – to ensure your marriage is never strained because of debt.
