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.

Buying Legal Council Appoints Jason Winmill as New Chair

The Buying Legal® Council (BLC), the international professional organization for legal sourcing and procurement, has announced the appointment of Jason Winmill as Chair. Dr. Silvia Hodges Silverstein is transitioning from her senior leadership role, in which she served for many years.

Winmill, managing partner at Argopoint, brings more than 25 years of legal sourcing expertise to the role and is known as one of the foremost practitioners in the field. Winmill architected groundbreaking law firm and legal services management programs for some of the world’s largest legal departments and companies, pioneering many of the standard practices used in legal sourcing and supplier management today. His innovative work has earned recognition in the Wall Street Journal and the Harvard Business Review, and became the subject of a Harvard Business School case on efficiency in legal sourcing in 2013. Winmill is recognized as a thought leader in legal procurement, legal operations and legal department management. His views have been covered by NPR, Bloomberg Law, The American Lawyer, and Corporate Counsel, among other publications.

“It is vital to have a seasoned practitioner lead the BLC, which has long focused its programming on supporting in-house procurement professionals,” said Dr. Hodges Silverstein. “Jason is an ideal successor to help launch BLC into an exciting new chapter given his deep knowledge of legal sourcing, legal operations, and legal department management. His established history with the BLC, as both a participant and educator, make for a great fit.”

She is stepping down to pursue related business and academic interests.

“The community of legal procurement professionals organized under the BLC today would not exist without Silvia,” said BLC Advisory Board Member Dr. Orazio Difruscolo in a statement. “We express our immense gratitude to Silvia for her commitment to the organization over the past decade. Her leadership and guidance have been instrumental to BLC since its founding, and we are excited to follow her in her next endeavors.”

“Silvia has done more than perhaps any other person to create the legal sourcing and procurement profession,” Winmill shared. “She set the standard towards which so many of us, myself included, aspire.”

In his role as Chair, Winmill will work closely with the BLC Advisory Board to lead the organization’s broad set of professional and educational offerings, including its annual conferences in New York and London, and webinar series held throughout the year.

“I am excited to see how Jason will take BLC to the next level,” said Andie Lam, BLC Advisory Board Member. “He is an expert in this field and thought leader on a lot of what has become legal procurement gold standards of today. I am confident he understands what makes this organization great, and what is needed to carry it into the future.”
