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.

Attorney David Magann Applauds Unanimous Supreme Court Ruling in Favor of Disabled Veterans

David W. Magann

Tampa, FloridaIn June, the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favor of disabled veterans seeking combat-related special compensation for disabilities suffered in the line of duty. Experienced Tampa veterans disability attorney David W. Magann supports this decision on behalf of his clients. 

The case, Soto v. United States, focuses on the Defense Department’s interpretation of a law called the Barring Act. The Defense Department held that the Barring Act limited veterans’ ability to receive combat-related special compensation (CRSC) to just six years. 

In January 2008, Congress passed a law expanding CRSC benefits to veterans with less than 20 years’ military service. The Defense Department applied the Barring Act’s six-year time limit to CRSC benefits under the new law.

In a class-action lawsuit led by retired Marine Corporal Simon Soto, disabled veterans argued that the Barring Act did not apply to the law establishing CRSC benefits. Rather, they asserted that if Congress meant the CRSC law to have a time limit, Congress would have included one in the law.

After a win in the Southern District of Texas and a reversal in the Federal District Court of Appeals, plaintiffs secured a final victory before the US Supreme Court. Writing for the unanimous Court, Justice Clarence Thomas stated that the Federal Circuit “erred by imposing undue requirements” on Congress’s decision to expand CRSC benefits. 

The decision allows approximately 9,000 veterans to access CRSC benefits. Plaintiffs in Soto v. United States may receive up to $10,000 in back benefits, dated to January 2008. Plaintiffs in a related case, Paige v. United States, are likely to receive more than $10,000 apiece in back benefits. Paige v. United States was placed on hold pending the outcome of Soto.

“This case represents a significant victory for our veterans,” says Tampa veterans’ benefits attorney David W. Magann. “By recognizing Congress’s intent to expand CRSC benefits, the Court emphasizes the importance of supporting those who protect the United States.” 

Veterans who believe they are owed CRSC benefits should speak to a qualified attorney, says Attorney Magann. An experienced lawyer can help these veterans pursue their claims and secure the compensation they deserve.
