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.

Google Drops FAQ Rich Snippets so Custom Legal Marketing Released a Video to Help Lawyers Understand Why

Generative AI in Search thumbnail 1 1

San Francisco, California – Law firm marketing and SEO company Custom Legal Marketing, has released the latest installment of their Schema for Lawyers video series which was originally going to be about how lawyers could use FAQ Schema to earn a competitive advantage in Google Search. But the search giant dropped support for FAQ and HowTo markups in September, so CLM shifted gears to help their viewers understand why and what happens to all of their FAQ content.

As of September 14th, HowTos are no longer visible in desktop search, and FAQs will only be displayed for government and medical websites. While this could be seen as a setback, Custom Legal Marketing’s co-founder, Jason Bland, has seized the opportunity to guide law firms towards the future of Google search and why these changes are occurring.

Bland connects Google’s decision to drop FAQs with the introduction of generative AI in search results. By leveraging advanced AI, Google aims to provide users with precise information swiftly and without unnecessary distractions. This means they’re cleaning up the search results page to simplify results.

In the video, Bland demonstrates a search for a car accident lawyer, which traditionally includes sponsored, local, and organic search results. With the new generative AI outputs, all of this information is bundled at the top, providing a more efficient and user-friendly experience.

Custom Legal Marketing’s new video explains these changes in detail and demonstrates how this shift can impact lawyers’ online presence and visibility. It sheds light on how Google’s AI can effectively determine the question and answer sections in content, even without the FAQ schema markups.

While the withdrawal of Google’s support for FAQ markups may initially seem disconcerting, it does not indicate an end to Google’s role in answering questions. Instead, it showcases Google’s evolving capabilities in extracting the most relevant content from a law firm’s website to answer user queries effectively.

Next week, Custom Legal Marketing will continue its series by showcasing another schema markup that is not canceled, which every law firm should utilize on their site.



Custom Legal Marketing is a law firm SEO and digital marketing agency for lawyers. Since 2005, CLM has been helping law firms get more cases through award-winning designs and search engine marketing.
