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.

New National Study Finds 35% of Law Firm Calls Go Unanswered Costing Industry an Estimated $109 Billion Annually

Scottsdale, Arizona – A new nationwide audit of law firm responsiveness reveals a troubling trend: more than one-third of calls to small and mid-sized law firms go unanswered during normal business hours, leading to an estimated $109 billion in lost potential revenue each year.

Over a four-week period, Law Leaders placed 1,200 calls to small and mid-sized firms across the United States, using publicly listed phone numbers and local caller IDs. All calls were made between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. local time during peak business hours. The results were stark:

  • 35% of calls went completely unanswered

“These findings confirm what we’ve been seeing for years – missed calls aren’t just a customer service issue, they’re a revenue crisis for law firms,” said Dustin Ruge, CEO of Law Leaders. “Today’s clients expect instant access and response. If they hit voicemail, they simply call the next attorney on the list. That’s why national brands are winning local cases – they answer every single call.”

Voicemail is No Longer a Safety Net

The study underscores the decline of voicemail as a viable intake tool. In an era shaped by Amazon-level speed and 24/7 service expectations, unanswered calls send the wrong message: that a firm may be understaffed, disorganized, or unresponsive.

According to national data:

  • 80% of consumers hang up when reaching voicemail
  • 94% are more likely to choose a firm that responds quickly
  • 78% of legal clients hire the first lawyer or firm that answers their call or inquiry
  • Only 7% of leads ever become retained clients

Technology is Filling the Gap

The report points to a shift toward AI-powered intake systems like LegalNavigator.ai, which answer calls 24/7, qualify leads in real time, schedule consultations, and even initiate retainer agreements instantly – eliminating the risk of lost leads without adding staff.

“Firms that adapt to today’s client expectations will grow,” added Ruge. “Those that don’t will keep losing clients before they even know they called. AI is now the answer to help firms answer all calls leading to time saved and increased revenue.”
