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.

Chicago Law Firm Awarded $5.5 Million Verdict: The Largest Nursing Home Verdict in Illinois History

Screenshot 2023 09 28 102132 1

Chicago, Illinois – The Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates secured a $5.5 million verdict, the largest nursing home verdict in Illinois history, against a suburban Chicago nursing care facility for damages suffered by a patient’s family. The family of patient Bettye Patterson filed suit against Providence Operations, LLC, for negligence and wrongful death. The company operated Providence Palos Heights, a long-term care home that is no longer in operation.

Bettye Patterson, 80, entered the defendant’s facility in June 2016 to receive specialized care for various medical conditions with a life expectancy of 3-6 months. Upon her arrival, doctors determined Bettye’s condition required her to receive supplemental oxygen through a nasal cannula 24 hours a day, seven days a week. On October 16, 2016, Bettye’s daughters visited and discovered a power outage in their mother’s room. With no power, Bettye was not receiving oxygen and was in medical distress. Her daughters searched for a nurse to assist their mother, but no trained staff could be found. After struggling to breathe for twenty minutes without supplemental oxygen, Bettye passed away. Medical experts, Dr. Robert Schoene and Dr. Sabine von Preyss-Freidman, said the last twenty minutes of Bettye’s life were agonizingly painful, and physiologically the experience would be equivalent to drowning.

Bettye’s daughter and head of her estate, Kim Triplett, contacted the nursing home abuse attorneys at Malman Law for their expert legal advice. Malman Law attorneys David Resis, Samantha Malman, Greg Lamorena, and Steve Malman took the case.

“The pain and suffering my mother endured in the last twenty minutes of her life was excruciating,” said Triplett. “Our family trusted Providence Care Facility to provide the best care possible for our mother, not cause her death. We are grateful to the attorneys at Malman Law for fighting for justice for our mother.”

After denying the allegations of wrongdoing for over five years, Bettye’s case against Providence was set for trial in 2023. Attorneys for the family argued that the defendant failed to protect Bettye from neglect and to provide appropriately supervised nursing care to meet Bettye’s needs, resulting in her wrongful death. Before the case headed to the jury, the defendant admitted liability and that their negligence caused Bettye’s death, and the jury awarded the Estate of Bettye Patterson a $5.5 million verdict for Bettye’s pain and suffering, as well as the family’s grief, sorrow, and mental suffering, and their loss of society.

“The unfortunate truth is 94% of our country’s nursing homes don’t meet minimum staffing guidelines, putting profits over people,” said Steve Malman, founder of Malman Law. “We are proud to have obtained this compensation for Bettye’s family and we hope this verdict demonstrates the significant need for improvement in staffing and training in the nursing home industry.”

Bettye Patterson is survived by her husband of fifty years, two sons and three daughters, and their families.
