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.

Legal Help for Veterans Attorney James Fausone Comments on Supreme Court Ruling that Opens Door to Retroactive Combat Disability Pay

Legal Help for Veterans

Northville, MichiganThousands of combat-wounded veterans may now be eligible for additional retroactive compensation following a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in a case that had been pending since last fall. In a unanimous ruling, the Court struck down the federal government’s practice of limiting back pay for Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) to six years, stating that the cap was not supported by statute.

The class-action lawsuit, Soto v. United States, was brought by Marine Corps veteran Simon Soto, who served two tours in Iraq before being medically retired due to post-traumatic stress disorder. After applying for CRSC in 2016, Soto received only six years of retroactive pay despite being entitled to a larger amount. The Navy cited the Barring Act, which sets a six-year limit for filing a claim against the government after receiving a VA disability rating. However, the Supreme Court ruled that the 2008 statute authorizing CRSC does not impose a time limit and therefore takes precedence over the Barring Act.

“This decision is a major win for veterans who have already given so much and were then shortchanged by a narrow interpretation of the law,” said attorney Jim Fausone of Legal Help for Veterans, PLLC. “Former service members who have faced similar denials and limitations can now finally receive the full compensation they earned in service.”

The ruling could benefit more than 9,000 veterans nationwide. The Supreme Court’s opinion emphasized that Congress intended the CRSC program to help a narrow group of veterans with combat-related injuries and did not include a statute of limitations.

CRSC is a non-taxable payment available to military retirees with combat-related disabilities. Unlike VA disability compensation, it is designed to reimburse veterans for retirement pay that they were required to forfeit in order to receive VA benefits. The ruling means that veterans whose backpay was previously capped at six years can now seek full retroactive payments without that restriction.

Legal Help for Veterans encourages veterans who were approved for CRSC but received limited retroactive pay to seek legal guidance. “It’s important that veterans take action to determine if they qualify for additional compensation,” Fausone said. “This decision has the potential to put thousands of dollars back in the hands of veterans who qualify for combat-related special compensation.”



The attorneys at Legal Help for Veterans have a national practice representing veterans from across the country. They have helped veterans collect over $10,000,000 in future and retroactive benefits.
