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.

Jury Awards Over $6 Million to Jason M. Hatfield in Hearse-Chasing Case

Law Office of Jason M. Hatfield, P.A.

Fayetteville, ArkansasA federal jury has awarded attorney, Jason M. Hatfield, a significant verdict in a landmark case involving unethical attorney-client recruitment practices at funeral homes. The case originated from a wrongful death lawsuit following a fatal crash involving a thirty-six-year-old woman and a tractor-trailer driver for J.B. Hunt, leading to a complex legal battle that exposed a multistate operation targeting vulnerable families.

Initially, Jason Hatfield had been retained by a grieving family to represent them in the aftermath of the tragedy. According to court pleadings, the family was approached by out-of-state “case runners”—nonlawyers—who, in a calculated move, induced them at a funeral home to sign with another legal group. This breach of ethical standards prompted Hatfield to take legal action, bringing forth claims of civil conspiracy and violations under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

While several defendants settled pre-trial, the jury ultimately found Tony Pirani liable for his involvement in this unethical scheme. The jury’s decision underscored a broader concern regarding the integrity of legal practices, particularly those targeting grieving families during their most vulnerable moments.

The jury awarded Hatfield’s firm approximately $6.6 million, with the total potentially exceeding $20 million after factoring in statutory treble damages under RICO and attorneys’ fees. The breakdown of the award includes $4.58 million in compensatory damages and $2 million in punitive damages, as well as additional financial restitution linked to civil conspiracy claims.

Representing Jason Hatfield in this case was Mark Murphey Henry of Henry Law Firm, a prominent law firm, who diligently presented a compelling case to the jury. Navigating complex litigation while maintaining a commitment to ethical legal practices played a crucial role in achieving this landmark verdict. In a statement following the verdict, Hatfield emphasized that the case transcended mere financial compensation. “This verdict is about safeguarding the rights of grieving families, not about money. We must hold accountable those who exploit vulnerability for profit,” he said.

Court documents revealed that over $24 million had flowed through the fraudulent network, including funds used for lavish perks such as private planes. The jury’s verdict serves as a potent reminder of the ethical responsibilities that govern the legal profession and the paramount importance of protecting the rights of victims.

As the legal community reflects on this significant ruling, it reaffirms the commitment to upholding ethical standards and ensuring that those in vulnerable positions receive the protection and respect they deserve.
