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.

Formula Swiss AG Sues Zug Authorities in Swiss Supreme Court Over CBD Cosmetics – Seeks CHF 5 Million in Damages

Zürich, Switzerland (Newsworthy.ai) Friday Apr 11, 2025 @ 7:00 AM Europe/Zurich —

Formula Swiss AG, a Swiss family-owned pioneer in organic CBD and wellness products, has filed a lawsuit against the Office for Consumer Protection of the Canton of Zug (AVS) with the Swiss Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne. The case seeks a definitive legal ruling on whether cannabidiol (CBD) products can be lawfully classified and marketed as cosmetics in Switzerland.

Formula Swiss has cooperated extensively with the AVS for years, acting in full transparency and following their explicit guidance to register its CBD products as cosmetics. Under the AVS’s own direction and oversight, the company commissioned external laboratories, engaged qualified toxicologists, revised packaging and labeling, and developed over 12,000 pages of documentation to ensure regulatory compliance. These actions were taken in good faith—and with full documentation of AVS involvement.

Despite this close collaboration, the AVS reversed its position and accused Formula Swiss of regulatory non-compliance. These claims are not only unfounded but represent a serious breach of trust and a grossly unequal application of Swiss law. Other companies in Zug selling nearly identical CBD products have faced no such scrutiny or sanctions.

Global Compliance, Local Injustice

Formula Swiss products are registered as cosmetics in the United Kingdom and the European Union and are legally sold in over 60 countries. Regulatory bodies across Europe—including Denmark, Sweden, and Norway—have independently reviewed and confirmed the safety and legal classification of these products as cosmetics. A Danish Food Authority inspection report specifically validated the company’s marketing and labeling practices, confirming full compliance with EU regulations.

Backed by the Industry’s Leading Voices

Leading industry associations have also issued formal statements of support. The European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) and IG Hanf Switzerland, both of which count Formula Swiss as a long-standing and active member, strongly back the company’s position. These organizations confirm that CBD-based cosmetics are not only legal, but also widely sold throughout Europe and Switzerland.

Both associations have emphasized that cannabidiol (CBD), whether in isolate or extract form, is recognized as a permitted cosmetic ingredient and is officially listed in the European Commission’s CosIng database. Their endorsements underscore the regulatory validity of Formula Swiss’s product classification and highlight the growing international consensus around CBD cosmetics.

Seeking Justice and Compensation

Formula Swiss voluntarily ceased sales of the disputed products more than two years ago and has since fully complied with every request made by the AVS. However, the company now seeks CHF 5 million in damages for unjustified enforcement actions, economic losses, and reputational harm caused by the inconsistent and discriminatory behavior of the Zug authorities.

With strong legal documentation, third-party validations, and industry-wide backing, the company is confident of a positive outcome in this landmark case. A victory would not only deliver long-overdue justice but also establish a vital legal precedent for Switzerland’s growing CBD and hemp industries.
