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.

WHISTLEBLOWER ACCUSES TENNESSEE BOARD OF REFUSING TO INVESTIGATE ITS OWN LAWYERS

Knoxville, Tennessee , United States - 12-12-2022 (PR Distribution™) -

Tennessee lawyer Elliott J. Schuchardt has filed court papers accusing the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility of refusing to investigate its own lawyers.

According to Schuchardt's pleadings, Sandy Garrett, the chief lawyer at the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility, is using her employment with the State to harass Tennessee lawyers, in violation of the First Amendment. 

Schuchardt contends that Garrett and her associate, Andrew Campbell, have filed dozens of meritless allegations, in violation of Tennessee state law.  He also contends that Garrett and Campbell are using their regulatory authority over Tennessee-licensed attorneys, to cause those attorneys to materially change their testimony, in favor of Garrett and Campbell.

Schuchardt has filed an affidavit in federal court contending that the Board of Professional Responsibility is intentionally refusing to investigate these allegations of misconduct.

According to the affidavit, Schuchardt has filed four complaints against Garrett and members of her staff, alleging abuse of civil process and fabrication of evidence.  According to court rules, at least four members of the Board are required to review these allegations.  This has not happened. 

Schuchardt contends that Garrett's colleagues on the Board are refusing to comply with Tennessee law, and are refusing to investigate the complaints.  Instead of investigating the complaints, the Chairman of the Board -- attorney Floyd Flippin -- is simply dismissing the complaints.  However, under Tennessee law, Flippin does not have authority to do so.

Schuchardt alleges in his pleadings that Garrett is using conflicts of interest in the present system to knowingly violate the law.  A majority of the persons on the Board of Professional Responsibility are lawyers subject to Garrett's review and regulation.  Schuchardt contends that these lawyers have an interest in approving Garrett's unlawful conduct, in order to protect their own licenses to practice law.

Schuchardt is asking the court to find the current system unlawful, and to require that non-lawyers make up a majority of the persons on the Board.  Tennessee adopted a similar system for the regulation of state judges in 2019. 

Schuchardt is a 1993 graduate of Columbia Law School.  Schuchardt has spent much of the last ten years engaging in civil liberties work in the courts.  In 2015, he obtained an injunction that helped keep Sweet Briar College open.  Schuchardt has also sued the federal government, alleging unlawful collection of e-mail. 

The case is filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, in Nashville.
