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 a CFP® Professional Can Help You Navigate Interest Rates

By: NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - Interest rates have soared dramatically, raising the cost of buying anything on credit. For example, over the past two years, mortgage rates have more than doubled, adding hundreds or thousands of dollars to monthly payments. At the same time, high interest rates offer new opportunities for earning an attractive return on savings. With rates expected to stay high, now is the time to consult a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional who can help you find ways to earn more interest while paying less.

The Basics: What Are Interest Rates?

Nobody lends money without wanting all of the principal back — and more. The “more” is the interest rate you pay. It’s the price of money, and it can add up quickly. For example, if you have $10,000 in credit card debt and you take five years to pay it off with a 20% interest rate, you’ll pay $5,896 in interest. On the other hand, if you paid off the credit card with a five-year, 10% personal loan, you’d pay only $2,748 in interest — a savings of $3,148. That’s just one strategy among many that a CFP® professional can customize to your particular financial situation.

Earn More Interest With These Three Letters: APY

The annual percentage yield (APY) is used to compare the rates paid on savings accounts and some checking accounts. Look at the APY number, not the interest rate number. Two banks may have the same posted interest rate but pay different amounts of interest. Here’s how: Bank No. 1 pays interest everyday on your principal and the interest you earned previously. That’s called daily compound interest. Bank No. 2 compounds interest only monthly. The financial institution that pays compound interest daily will have a higher APY.  

Is your money sitting in a bank earning an interest rate of one-tenth of 1%? Many people are making that mistake. Would you like to earn far more interest? A CFP® professional can help you review options.

Make Smart Money Moves With a CFP® Professional

Some interest payments are tax deductible while others are not. A CFP® professional can figure out whether it makes sense to shift some of your borrowings to the tax-deductible category and save you money.

The Impact of Interest Rates on Investing

High interest rates affect stocks, bonds, real estate and other investment markets, and some investments are more resilient than others in high-interest rate environments. That is where the insights of your CFP® professional can improve your portfolio’s performance.

Whether you want to pay less interest or earn more, a CFP® professional can guide you to better outcomes during a time of high interest rates. Find your CFP® professional today.
