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.

Erlich Law Firm Secures $600,000 Settlement for Whistleblower in UC Berkeley Ethics Violation Case

UC Berekely 1

Berkeley, California – In a significant victory for whistleblower rights and ethical conduct in public institutions, Erlich Law Firm announced today that it has successfully negotiated a $600,000 settlement for a former University of California, Berkeley employee who was terminated after reporting a manager’s acceptance of unlawful gifts and meals from a vendor.

The settlement comes after the employee raised concerns about a UC Berkeley manager who was involved in approving $6.8 million worth of contracts and subsequently accepted gifts and meals from a vendor, in direct violation of University of California policy and California state law.

In a statement released by the Erlich Law Firm, wrongful termination attorney Jason Erlich underscored the importance of the case: “This settlement not only represents justice for our client but also serves as a reminder of the vital importance of upholding ethical standards in public institutions. Whistleblowers should be commended, not punished, for their courage in exposing wrongdoing.”

According to the firm, after the employee reported the unethical behavior through the appropriate channels, including the UC Berkeley ethics hotline and to his superiors, the university allegedly retaliated by terminating his employment a few months later, in clear disregard for the protections afforded to whistleblowers under state and federal law.

Erlich Law Firm, which specializes in employment law and whistleblower cases, took on the case, advocating for the rights of the employee against the powerful institution. Through skilled negotiation, the legal team was able to secure a settlement that reflects both the economic and non-economic damages sustained by their client due to the alleged wrongful termination.

The outcome of this case highlights the ongoing challenges that whistleblowers face and the critical role that legal advocates play in ensuring that individuals who speak out against corruption and unethical practices are protected and compensated for their actions.

The settlement also serves as a warning to public entities and employees about the repercussions of disregarding ethical guidelines and whistleblower laws, emphasizing the costly consequences of such behavior both in terms of financial impact and reputational damage.

Erlich Law Firm’s success in this case reaffirms its commitment to defending employees’ rights and upholding the highest standards of legal integrity and ethical accountability in the workplace. The firm continues to be a staunch advocate for those who risk their careers to ensure that the public interest is served and justice is upheld.

This settlement is not just a victory for one individual but a stern reminder to all employers that whistleblower protections are integral to a fair and just society.



Erlich Law Firm has more than 20 years of experience in holding employers accountable for their illegal actions against the people who work for them. If you believe your rights at work have been violated, you could potentially be entitled to damages from your employer.
