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 Investigation Reveals Volkswagen ID.4 Battery Fire Risk

VW ID4 FireRisk scaled 1

Los Angeles, California – The California lemon law attorneys of Wirtz Law, are at the forefront of a class action lawsuit against Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC, for alleged battery fire risks in their 2019-2024 Jaguar I-PACE vehicles. But the battery fires may affect other cars, including the 2021-2022 Volkswagen ID.4, which uses the same battery.

The class action lemon lawsuit revolves around the alleged high-risk defects in the battery system of the Jaguar I-PACE that Jaguar has been accused of knowingly concealing. The plaintiff, Sharon Joyce, a California resident, bought a new Jaguar I-PACE in July 2019, only to face multiple unresolved issues, including an indication of “reduced electric vehicle range” during the pre-delivery inspection.

Despite a software update from Jaguar in January 2020, which promised to add up to 12 miles of extra range, Joyce’s I-PACE suffered a battery failure that left her stranded in April 2023. Subsequent battery replacements were unsuccessful, with the vehicle persistently displaying battery fault and warning lights.

In July 2023, Jaguar issued a recall warning of increased fire and injury risks linked to the vehicle’s battery. The recall suggested owners restrict their vehicle charging to 75% and park outside due to potential fire risks.

The lemon law attorneys of Wirtz Law allege that Jaguar was aware of at least eight battery fires at the recall announcement time, suggesting that the critical battery systems were defective even before the vehicles’ assembly.

Model Year 2021-2022 Volkswagen ID.4 Uses the Same Battery

The 2021-2022 Volkswagen ID.4, a fully electric compact crossover SUV, is now under scrutiny, given its use of the same battery as the Jaguar I-PACE. With a 201-horsepower electric motor, the 2021-2022 ID.4 boasts a range of up to 326 miles on a single charge. The implications of this lawsuit could echo throughout the automotive industry, highlighting the urgent need for accurate disclosure and rectification of defects.

Wirtz Law and O’Connor Law Group are representing Joyce in this class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.
