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.

Illinois Now in the Top 10 for Dog Bite Claims – This Should be a Wake-up Call for Canine Owners, Says Chicago Dog Bite Attorney, Paul Greenberg

Chicago, Illinois – Illinois now ranks among the top 10 states for dog bite insurance claims, according to newly released data from the Insurance Information Institute. The state sits at No. 8 nationwide, reflecting a troubling trend as claim costs have doubled in the past decade, with children remaining the most affected demographic.

The annual report, which draws from national homeowners insurance figures, highlights the growing financial and social toll of dog-related injuries. In recent years, Illinois saw a marked increase in both the number and severity of claims, mirroring a national rise in dog bite incidents. Total claim costs in the state have surged over the last 10 years, with settlements frequently exceeding $50,000 per incident, according to the report, but Briskman Briskman & Greenberg Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers has secured much larger settlements for their dog bite clients, including a $717,000 settlement for a PetSmart employee in 2024.

While dog bites can affect anyone, the data points to children as the most vulnerable group. Experts attribute this to children’s limited ability to recognize warning signs in canine behavior and their small stature, making them more susceptible to serious injuries. Health care and legal professionals urge families to exercise caution and promote education to help prevent future incidents.

“Dog bites are traumatic and, unfortunately, we are seeing more severe injuries—especially among children,” said Paul Greenberg, managing member of Briskman Briskman & Greenberg Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers, and experienced Chicago dog bite lawyer. “Beyond the immediate physical harm, survivors often experience long-lasting psychological effects.”

Greenberg noted that the increase in dog bite claims may be fueled in part by changing pet ownership patterns and evolving urban environments. “As more families adopt dogs and as people and pets live in closer proximity, the need for responsible pet ownership and community awareness is greater than ever,” he said.

State law in Illinois holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their animals, barring provocation or trespassing. The legal landscape provides a path to compensation for victims but also underscores the importance of preventative measures, including proper training and socialization for pets.

“Education and vigilance are essential to reducing these numbers,” Greenberg said. “Simple steps, such as supervising interactions between dogs and children, can make a significant difference.”

Greenberg is an advocate for responsible dog ownership and has been featured in OK! Magazine and the Chicago Sun Times.

As Illinois grapples with rising dog bite claims, advocates and attorneys alike are calling for renewed attention to safety initiatives and responsible pet ownership, aiming to reverse the troubling trend and protect the state’s most vulnerable residents.
