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.

New Jersey Has Lower Workers’ Compensation Premiums, Higher Payouts in 2023

New Jersey businesses will pay lower workers’ compensation premiums, but injured workers will receive higher payouts for some types of benefits, according to recent news from the New Jersey Compensation Rating & Inspection Bureau (NJCRIB).

NJCRIB recommended a 4.7 percent decrease in workers’ compensation insurance premiums for 2023. Insurance Commissioner Marlene Caride, however, adjusted that number downward even further, resulting in a 6.1 percent average decrease in workers’ compensation and employer liability insurance rates for the coming year.

While 6.1 percent is the average overall rate decrease, some industries are likely to see a steeper decrease in premiums than others. NJCRIB predicts, for instance, that contracting will see up to a 7 percent decrease in premium costs. Office and clerical businesses, by contrast, may see their premiums decrease less – by about 3.5 percent.

These decreases won’t translate into less support for injured employees, however. As January 1, 2023, the maximum weekly benefit for most types of injuries increased by $33, rising from $1,065 in 2022 to $1,099 in 2023. The minimum weekly benefit increased, from $284 per week to $293.

Payments for permanent partial disability losses changed. The maximum benefits for permanent partial disability along with the rates for other types of injuries changed – rising to a floor of $293 per week and a ceiling of $1,099 per week. The minimum weekly benefit for these injuries remains at $35 per week.

2023 marks the second year in which New Jersey’s workers’ compensation premiums are dropping. In 2022, the NJCRIB called for a 4.9 percent reduction in premiums, which the commissioner adjusted to a 5.3 percent average decrease before approving.

These decreases are a welcome relief for New Jersey businesses, which face some of the highest workers’ compensation rates in the United States. Adjusting premium rates while also maintaining benefits for injured New Jersey workers represents a middle path for both employers and employees through the difficult task of addressing the losses that come with an on-the-job injury or illness.
