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.

Wirtz Law Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Jaguar Over I-PACE Battery Fires

Jaguar I pace fire 1

San Diego, California – Wirtz Law, a renowned lemon law firm in California, is leading a class action lemon law complaint against Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC, and other defendants. The lawsuit surrounds the alleged battery fire risks associated with all 2019-2024 Jaguar I-PACE vehicles in California, representing a potentially groundbreaking case in the automotive industry.

The plaintiff, California resident Sharon Joyce, purchased a new 2020 Jaguar I-PACE in July 2019. She has since experienced several issues with the vehicle, leading to multiple unsuccessful attempts to seek repair. These included defects discovered during the pre-delivery inspection that indicated “reduced electric vehicle range.” Despite being aware of such, the lawsuit claims that Jaguar was unprepared to rectify the issues due to a lack of repair procedures.

By January 2020, Jaguar issued a software update, H264 to deliver up to 12 miles of additional real-world range on a full charge. However, the complaint claims that this software update changed the battery’s operational state to a dangerously low level, leading to another high-voltage battery failure in April 2023 that left her stranded.. After multiple battery replacements, the vehicle continues to display battery fault and warning lights.

The lawsuit further alleges that Jaguar knowingly concealed the high-risk defects and, in July 2023, issued a recall letter warning I-PACE owners of increased fire and injury risks associated with the vehicle’s high-voltage battery. The recall notice also advised owners to limit their vehicle charging to 75% and to park outside due to potential fire hazards.

The allegations claim that Jaguar was aware of at least eight battery fires, at the time of the recall announcement and that these critical battery systems were defective even before the vehicles were built. Thus, the complaint says Jaguar I-PACE owners were left with devalued I-PACE vehicles and no available repairs.

Wirtz Law, alongside the O’Connor Law Group, is representing Sharon Joyce in this class action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. Lemon law firm, Wirtz Law‘s complaint is claiming that Jaguar’s actions represent a clear violation of consumer protection rights and is committed to ensuring justice for the affected I-PACE owners of California.
