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.

How to Find a Financial Planner

By: NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - Experts agree that financial planning has many benefits. It can help you protect your family, worry less about finances and reach your goals at any stage of life. These benefits can be even greater if you work with a professional financial planner who is trained to show you how to make sound investment choices, save money on taxes and rein in high-interest debt, among other things.     

If you’ve decided that you need a financial plan and would like to work with a financial advisor to create it, you might be wondering where to find an advisor. Asking friends, family or colleagues to recommend an advisor can be a good place to start, especially if they earn a similar income as you and seem to be successfully managing their money. There are also numerous resources available online to help you find a financial advisor.     

One of those tools is LetsMakeaPlan.org, a website maintained by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. (CFP Board). The site features a search tool that helps you find a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM  professional by location and planning services offered. CFP® professionals must complete an extensive, multiyear certification process that ensures they obtain the skills and real-life experience needed to provide comprehensive financial planning. They also make a commitment to putting your interests first.     

When you are hiring a CFP® professional, how you will pay for their services is a key question to ask. Different financial advisors may charge differently, or one financial advisor may offer several different ways that clients can choose to pay. Many financial planners use the assets under management (AUM) model, in which the financial planner gets paid a percentage of the assets they manage for you. Some CFP® professionals may earn a commission on a transaction. Others charge hourly fees, subscription fees or fixed fees for specific services. You should ask a CFP® professional to lay out the details for how they charge at the beginning of your engagement.    

Lower-income families or those facing a financial crisis may find help through the Foundation for Financial Planning. The foundation can help connect you with a CFP® professional who provides financial planning services free of charge. These connections are made through financial capability workshops and webinars offered by nonprofit groups and other foundation grantees, as well as through one-on-one financial planning sessions.     

Once you’ve found a competent, ethical financial planner, you can start the planning process together and begin working toward a more secure tomorrow.
