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.

Steinberg Law Firm Attorneys Win $1.2 Million Settlement for Injured Dump Truck Driver

Steinberg Law Firm attorneys Wilson Jackson and Catie Meehan

Summerville, South CarolinaSteinberg Law Firm attorneys Wilson Jackson and Catie Meehan recently won a $1.2 million settlement for a dump truck driver injured in a truck crash. The settlement includes over $31,000.00 for past medical costs and $393,018.00 in life care plan costs. 

The plaintiff, a dump truck driver, was injured while sitting at a red light on Charleston County’s Savannah Highway. A tractor-trailer sideswiped the plaintiff’s dump truck. 

The plaintiff suffered cervical and lumbar injuries. Neck, back, and shoulder pain persisted through several forms of treatment, including epidural steroid injections and physical therapy. Physicians advised that the injured plaintiff would likely need cervical fusion surgery in the future. 

Meanwhile, Steinberg Law Firm’s investigation revealed significant issues with both vehicle maintenance and driver supervision by the commercial trucking company. The commercial truck’s air brakes were not working at the time of the crash due to broken gladhands and leaking air hoses. 

“Gladhand” connectors ensure the air supply from the tractor reaches the trailer’s air brakes. When these connectors break or hoses leak, air cannot reach the back brakes, and without sufficient air pressure, the brakes cannot work correctly. 

A post-crash inspection of the truck revealed brake issues so severe that they were audible while the truck was in operation. A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) records request revealed that the audible brake issues weren’t a one-time lapse. Records showed repeated maintenance violations in the months before the crash. The truck had been cited for unsafe brakes and tires, putting the trucking company on notice. 

Steinberg Law Firm’s investigation also revealed other issues. The trucking company’s operating authority had not been renewed. Operating authority is issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It grants legal authorization for commercial vehicles to transport goods or people in interstate commerce. 

Essential safety protocols were absent as well. For instance, an investigation revealed the driver of the commercial truck had a history of excessive speeding and failing to maintain vehicle control. 

Steinberg Law firm secured a $1.2 million settlement out of court, reflecting both their client’s needs and the need to hold negligent motor carriers accountable.
