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.

4 Things to Know About Group Life Insurance

iQuanti: Group life insurance is a type of life insurance typically offered through an employer or other group, such as a labor organization. It can provide financial security for surviving family members in the event of the death of someone covered by the group policy. The most common type of group life is term insurance. This is different from an individual term life policy, or a permanent life insurance policy, such as universal life insurance or whole life insurance. 

If you're covered by a group life insurance policy or thinking of electing coverage, here are four things you should know about group life insurance: 

1. It's typically offered through an employer 

Group life insurance is usually offered through an employer and can be part of a complete benefits package for employees. Typically, employees can elect coverage during open enrollment. When electing benefits, you can designate one or more beneficiaries. Group life is often offered at little or no cost to employees. Your portion of the premium will be deducted from your paycheck. Unlike health or dental insurance, group life insurance premiums are typically not tax-deductible.

2. You may be able to purchase additional coverage

Depending on the employer's plan, you may be able to opt for additional coverage at a cost. This change can usually be made during open enrollment. If you're wondering how much coverage you need, you may want to think about your current life insurance needs as well as any life changes you're expecting—such as getting married or having a child.

3. Coverage usually ends when you leave your job

For group life insurance, coverage is valid as long as you're part of the covered group. In many cases, the group is the company you work for. This means coverage typically ends when you leave your job—whether through resigning, being terminated, retirement, or some other means. Some employers may offer the option to convert to an individual policy. To see if this is an option, check with your human resources department. 

4. It typically doesn't require a medical exam

While some life insurance policies still require a medical exam and/or medical questionnaire, group life insurance typically does not. Coverage is often guaranteed to all group members. This can be beneficial if you have a pre-existing condition, such as diabetes, that would make it difficult to qualify for an individual policy.

Is group life insurance enough? 

The answer to this question can depend on your particular policy, how much coverage you have, your dependents, and your overall financial situation. Group life death benefits are often limited, smaller than an individual life insurance policy, and many people opt for additional coverage. If your group life insurance doesn't meet your needs, you may want to consider supplementing with an individual life insurance policy.
