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 Announces Filing of Complaint in Case Against Performance Food Group, Inc. for Retaliation and Wrongful Termination

Erlich Law Firm

Oakland, CaliforniaThe Erlich Law Firm has filed a complaint in the Alameda County Superior Court on behalf of Paul Ferrari, a former employee of Performance Food Group, Inc. (NYSE: PFGC), alleging serious violations of labor laws, including retaliation and wrongful termination. This case brings to light the troubling issue of workplace safety and the potential consequences faced by employees who advocate for their own and their colleagues’ safety.

Mr. Ferrari began his employment at PFG’s Livermore warehouse in June 2022, where he quickly recognized significant safety hazards that posed risks to workers. Over a span of nearly two years, he reported multiple issues to his supervisors and upper management, including inadequate lighting, unsafe pallet stacking, unsecured racks, blocked emergency exits, and the presence of hazardous icicles in freezer areas. Notably, he documented his concerns through written reports and photographic evidence, which were repeatedly overlooked by management.

In a pivotal moment, Ferrari escalated the matter by filing a formal safety complaint with Cal-OSHA in late February 2024 after his internal warnings went unaddressed. Yet, rather than receiving support for his actions aimed at ensuring workplace safety, Ferrari faced retaliation. He was suspended without pay on February 22, 2024, under dubious allegations of insubordination and ultimately terminated on March 6, 2024.

The complaint against PFG includes claims of retaliation under California Labor Code § 1102.5 and § 6310 and wrongful termination in violation of public policy. The legal action seeks relief for Ferrari, who alleges loss of income and benefits, emotional distress, and punitive damages resulting from what he describes as his former employer’s willful misconduct. The case also calls for injunctive relief, including reinstatement, anti-retaliation training for management, and policy changes to foster a safer work environment.

“This case exemplifies the consequences individuals may face when they speak up for their rights and safety at work,” said attorney Jason Erlich of Erlich Law Firm. “We aim to hold Performance Food Group accountable for their actions and to advocate for the protection of employees who take a stand against unsafe working conditions.”

As this case unfolds, it raises important questions about employer accountability and employees’ rights in the face of retaliation for whistleblowing in the workplace. The Erlich Law Firm remains committed to seeking justice for Paul Ferrari and ensuring that similar issues are addressed appropriately in the future.
