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.

The Law Firm for Truck Safety Secures $82.1 Million Jury Verdict in Ohio Trucking Crash, Largest Trucking Verdict on Record in Ohio

The Law Firm for Truck Safety

STEUBENVILLE, OhioA Jefferson County jury returned an $82,105,345.70 verdict for a motorcyclist who lost his left arm and leg after a commercial truck struck him, finding the truck driver negligent and his employers D.W. Dickey & Son, Inc. and Hilltop Energy vicariously liable. The award is Ohio’s largest trucking verdict on record and Jefferson County’s largest personal-injury verdict.

The Law Firm for Truck Safety attorneys Michael Leizerman and Jon Bond tried the case with co-counsel George Sidiropolis, Aaron DeShaw and Jeff Bruzzese. The result sets new Ohio and Jefferson County records, ranks among the year’s largest U.S. trucking verdicts, and is the state’s largest amputation verdict.

The verdict in Michael J. Shank, et al. v. D.W. Dickey & Son, Inc., et al. (Case No. 2024 CV 00270) followed a four-day trial before Judge Michelle Miller in the Jefferson County Court of Common Pleas. Jurors concluded driver Robert Gerner’s negligence caused the crash. The panel also found that Michael Shank was 0% at fault for the crash.  

“Our client’s life changed in seconds,” said Michael Leizerman, co-founder of The Law Firm for Truck Safety. “The jury held the driver and the companies behind him accountable. This result secures the lifelong medical care, prosthetics and support he will need.”

Before trial, the defense offered $350,000 to settle the case. At trial, the team presented testimony from medical, prosthetics and damages experts; eyewitness Jordan Beidling; and evidence that countered an initial law-enforcement finding against the injured rider.

“The jurors heard the facts and delivered justice,” said Jon Bond of The Law Firm for Truck Safety. “No verdict can restore what was taken, but justice prevailed today.”

Co-counsel Aaron DeShaw led the medical and prosthetics case. Jeff Bruzzese advised on Ohio law throughout the proceedings. Trial support was provided by paralegal Kim Koechley.

The plaintiff, a husband and father, continues to volunteer in his community. The damages encompass past and future medical care, prosthetic needs, loss of earning capacity and non-economic losses recognized under Ohio law. Eight jurors signed the general verdict in favor of the plaintiffs.
