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.

Herrin Law Successfully Defends Client Against Wrongful Garnishment by the EPA and the Department of Interior

Herrin Law

Dallas, TexasIn a landmark ruling, Herrin Law secured a significant victory against the Federal Government, specifically the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Interior (DOI), holding them accountable for willfully violating the automatic stay provisions set forth in the bankruptcy proceedings of Ms. Garrett.  

Background: 

Ms. Garrett sought protection under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code in October 2021. Despite being properly informed of Ms. Garrett’s bankruptcy proceedings, the DOI made multiple unauthorized garnishments from her paycheck, even after clear notifications were provided about the automatic stay in effect due to her bankruptcy filing. 

Challenges of Litigating Against the Federal Government: 

Litigating against the federal government is an immensely daunting endeavor. Shielded by the robust armors of sovereign immunity, the government stands as a formidable adversary in the courtroom. Such immunity generally precludes holding the government accountable in many instances. Coupled with restrictions against imposing punitive damages, the task becomes even more Herculean. Most attorneys are reluctant to challenge such a behemoth, given the limited avenues for damage recovery and the government’s almost inexhaustible resources. 

Court Ruling and its Implications: 

Against these odds, the Court, in its judgment, categorically held both the EPA and DOI accountable for violating the automatic stay provisions. The Court ordered that the EPA and DOI perform an audit on their procedures for dealing with employee wages and ultimately awarded our Client $18,000 in damages.  

More than the monetary victory, this case ushered in transformative change. Post this landmark judgment, protocols were swiftly amended to ensure EPA employees are safeguarded against similar undue garnishments in the future, offering protection to all current and prospective EPA staff. 

Statement from Herrin Law:  

”We are immensely proud to have represented our Client in this pivotal case. This judgment sends a clear message that even federal agencies must adhere to the rules and protections offered by our legal system. This was a challenging case due to our Client’s financial situation. It’s always a scary proposition to go after the federal government due to the powers they have and the protections they are afforded. Our client attempted to find other law firms to take the case but none would. At Herrin Law, we remain committed to advocating for the rights of our clients and ensuring that justice is served.
