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.

Ruggiero Law Offices Secures Major Victory in High-Stakes Tax Exemption Case

Ruggiero Law Offices LLC

Paoli, Pennsylvania – On October 10, 2023, Ruggiero Law Offices LLC obtained a significant legal triumph on behalf of our clients, Bernard W. Ebersole and Jennifer Matlack, in their recent case against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The case, identified as Ebersole and Matlack v. Commonwealth of PA No. 360 F.R. 2020, revolved around a contested realty transfer tax assessment imposed by the Board of Finance and Revenue.

The dispute stemmed from the Board’s determination that a realty transfer tax was applicable to the conveyance of three parcels of real property to the trust established by the Grantors as part of their estate plan. The Board argued that a tax exemption did not apply because the trust authorized distributions to individuals other than the Grantors in the event of incapacity. The central contention put forth by Grantors was that the deletion of this contingency provision, retroactively applied before the real estate transfers, rendered the transactions tax exempt.

In the Opinion filed on October 10, 2023, by Senior Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt, the Commonwealth Court reversed the June 25, 2020, order of the Board of Finance and Revenue striking the tax assessment, thereby vindicating the position of Bernard W. Ebersole and Jennifer Matlack. The matter has been remanded for further action consistent with the attached Opinion.

The Trust, created by Grantors on September 4, 2018, forms the crux of the case. Described as a “revocable living trust,” it outlines the couple’s intention for assets transferred to the trust to be held for their benefit during their lifetimes and for the benefit of their beneficiaries after their death. This is a commonly used estate planning tool.

This legal victory emphasizes the pivotal significance of precision in estate planning and the nuanced understanding of tax laws. We wholeheartedly commend the unwavering dedication and resilience exhibited by our clients throughout this case. This triumph solidifies our commitment to providing legal counsel in the intricate domains of estate planning and taxation. We remain dedicated to upholding the principles of sound legal reasoning and established law that underpin our clients’ success. James J. Ruggiero, Jr., Esq. and John J. Mahoney, Esq. actively litigated this matter for over a three year period to a successful conclusion for all of our clients as well as all of the other taxpayers in the Commonwealth of PA.
