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.

Changing Your Career? Consider Becoming a CFP® Professional

By: NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - Are you thinking of a career change? As you explore new possibilities, you’ll likely want a profession that offers personal fulfillment, encourages professional growth, provides greater opportunities for advancement, thrives in a rapidly expanding industry, and boasts attractive financial benefits.

You’ll find all these benefits and more in a career as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER professional, as well as plenty of resources to help you make the career switch. And financial planning makes use of key skills that you've probably developed at previous jobs, including interpersonal communication, relationship management, analysis, marketing and project management.

Becoming a CFP® professional requires earning the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER certification, which is the standard for competent and ethical financial planning. The CFP® mark after your name signals to clients and employers that you’re a knowledgeable partner who is committed to putting your clients’ interests first.

Earning your CFP® certification provides many advantages:

  • Competitive Edge: 83% of CFP® professionals say they have a competitive edge over other financial advisors.
  • Trust: 90% of consumers are more confident working with an advisor who has a financial planning designation.
  • Success: 86% of CFP® professionals say that certification has had a positive impact on their career satisfaction.
  • High Pay: Earning CFP® certification can increase your income by 12%, with experienced advisors earning on average $192,000 a year.

The Path to Becoming A CFP® Professional

Becoming a CFP® professional means completing requirements for the “4 E’s”: Education, Exam, Experience, and Ethics.

  • Education: Complete financial planning coursework through a CFP Board Registered Program and hold a bachelor’s degree or higher (in any discipline) from an accredited college or university. If you have advanced degrees or professional certifications, you may be eligible to skip most of the coursework requirement, allowing you to sit for the CFP® exam sooner.
  • Exam: Demonstrate your competency in comprehensive personal financial planning by passing the CFP® exam. The 6-hour exam features stand-alone, scenario-based, and case study questions.
  • Experience: Gain the necessary experience to provide unsupervised personal financial planning services. You can meet this requirement either before or after the CFP® exam by completing 6,000 hours of professional experience related to financial planning or 4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience that meets additional criteria.
  • Ethics: Commit to abide by the Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct for CFP® professionals and act as a fiduciary and always prioritize your clients’ best interests when providing financial advice.
