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.

Debt Awareness Week Helps Americans Confront Rising Debt: How Many Days Do People Have to Work Just to Pay Off Debt?

--News Direct--

Debt Awareness Week

Americans are carrying record levels of personal debt, yet many don’t realize how long it would take to pay it off. Debt.com’s inaugural Debt Awareness Week on February 17-23, aims to change that by encouraging financial education and helping consumers take a hard look at their debt burdens.

Debt Awareness Week was founded by Howard Dvorkin, CPA and chairman of Debt.com, who has spent three decades counseling Americans on the importance of managing debt responsibly. Despite his efforts, Dvorkin says one major challenge remains: many people don’t perceive their personal debt as a problem.

“The latest data paints a sobering picture, but still a third of Americans are maxing out their credit cards, we feel there’s safety in numbers,” Dvorkin explains. “When everyone is in debt, no one feels like it’s a problem. Debt becomes a way of life.”

Debt by the Numbers: Why Awareness Matters

Introducing the Debt-Free Day Calculator

A key feature of Debt Awareness Week is the Debt-Free Day Calculator—a tool designed to make debt feel real and actionable. For the average American earning $62,000 per year and carrying $105,056 in debt, it would take 20 months of their entire income to become debt-free—assuming they spent nothing on living expenses.

“When looking at credit card debt alone, the average person would need nearly two full months of pay to clear their balances,” says Don Silvestri, President of Debt.com. “With our Debt-Free Day Calculator users can determine how many days they must work this year just to cover their credit cards, student loans, auto loans, and personal loans which really shines a light on their financial wellbeing.”

How it works:

  • Add up personal debt
  • Factor in annual income
  • The calculator converts the result into the number of days needed to work to pay off the debt
  • Visualizes the impact with a personal Debt-Free Day on a calendar

“Once you realize that you’re working most of the year just to pay down debt, it really starts to sink in,” Silvesti explains. “A lump sum like $20,000 in debt may not seem overwhelming, but when you break it down into days of your life, it hits differently.”

A Nationwide Call for Financial Education

Debt.com has launched Debt Awareness Week to educate and empower consumers with the knowledge and tools to break the cycle of debt and take control of their financial futures. “If we can move Americans’ Debt-Free Day closer, it will be a game-changer for millions,” Dvorkin says. “It won’t be easy, but it’s not impossible. It just takes conquering our debts—one day at a time.”

Debt.com is calling on consumers, financial educators, and policymakers to take part in Debt Awareness Week by:
