About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

On August 21, 2024, Franklin disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that Stephen Kenneth Leech (“Leech”) the co-Chief Investment Officer of Western Asset Management Co. (“WAMCO”), a subsidiary of Franklin, “recently received a Wells Notice from the Staff of the [SEC], and is on a leave of absence to focus on this matter.”  WAMCO “is also cooperating with parallel government investigations.”  According to an August 21, 2024 Bloomberg article both the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) are investigating.

Following this news, the price of Franklin fell $2.84 per share, over 12%, to close at $19.78 per share on August 21, 2024, the largest single day drop since October 2020.

Then on November 25, 2024, the SEC announced fraud charges against Leech for “engaging in a multi-year scheme to allocate favorable trades to certain portfolios, while allocating unfavorable trades to other portfolios, a practice known as cherry picking.”  The Complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges that Leech engaged in this practice from January 2021 to October 2023.  The Acting Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, Sanjay Wadhwa, said “the scale and duration of Leech’s allegedly fraudulent conduct amounts to a shocking betrayal of his fiduciary obligations to his clients, who paid dearly for his transgressions.”

Also on November 25, 2025, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, and the Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Field Office of the FBI, James E. Dennehy, announced the unsealing of an indictment against Leech.  The indictment alleges that Leech assigned over $600 million of gains to favored clients and over $600 million of losses to disfavored clients.  Leech is charged with securities fraud, investment advisor fraud, commodity trading advisor fraud, commodities fraud and false statements. Leech’s alleged victims include both institutional and retail investors.
