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.

Lee Floyd Named to Leadership Role in National Hair Relaxer Mass Tort Litigation

Lee Adair Floyd

Lee Adair Floyd, a Partner at Breit Biniazan, has been named to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee (“PSC”) in the multi-district litigation (MDL) involving hair relaxer marketing sales practices and product liability litigation. The Order was entered on March 3, 2023, by Judge Mary M. Rowland of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.  (In Re: Hair Relaxer Marketing Sales Practice and Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 3060).

As a member of the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee, Lee’s role will be to effectively and efficiently represent the common interests of all MDL plaintiffs.

The consolidated litigation generally accuses L’Oréal USA’s subsidiaries and subsidiaries of India-based companies Godrej SON Holdings Inc. and Dabur International Ltd. of selling products that cause women harm, causing proportionally larger harm to black women. The hair relaxation product is known to have caused or increased the risk of women developing uterine and ovarian cancer.  Other hair relaxer manufacturers like Dark & Lovely and Just for Me are also facing allegations from users that the exposure to toxic chemicals contained in the hair straighteners and home perms caused similar harm.

Judge Rowland made the Plaintiffs’ Leadership decision after reviewing the applications of experienced mass tort attorneys from across the United States. Judge Rowland said decisions for appointments were made based on professional experience, availability, resource depth, and diversity.

Lee brings her unique experience in mass torts litigation to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee. Before joining Breit Biniazan, Lee spent the last decade on the defense side, where she represented pharmaceutical companies, automotive manufacturers, and energy producers in high-stakes national litigation. Most recently, Lee was appointed by a federal judge to serve on the Plaintiffs Steering Committee in the Paragard IUD litigation in the Northern District of Georgia. Lee’s appointments to plaintiffs’ leadership in both the Hair Relaxer MDL and Paragard MDL reflect her commitment to representing women harmed as a result of corporate defendants’ negligence.

Lee is frequently invited to speak on mass tort litigation at national seminars.

If you or a loved one believes their uterine or ovarian cancer diagnosis was as a result of the use of hair relaxer products, please contact us at 855-212-8200 or visit our website at www.bbtrial.com.
