About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

AdvisorVault Offers 17a-4 Gap Assessment Free, Getting FINRA Firms Compliant on Microsoft 365

By: PRLog
Getting properly on the Microsoft Cloud is the key to closing gaps in a firm's electronic records retention & supervision.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - July 23, 2025 - PRLog -- Since the main problem FINRA firms have (especially small ones), is running a mix of technology: half in-house & half in the cloud. For example, some users are on Microsoft, others storing files on Dropbox, with the rest keeping records scattered on their hard drives - preventing a centralized approach to 17a-4 electronic records retention. With this also in mind, AdvisorVault created the Assessment to close gaps while ensuring 17a-4 compliance on the cloud.

Consolidate 17a-4 Records Retention with Microsoft 365

"When it comes to meeting 17a-4, i.e. the long-term records retention and supervision demands of the rule, the single biggest problem I see is firms not consolidating onto a full cloud platform. And Microsoft 365 is the best option for firms today," says Allan Lonz, President of AdvisorVault.

"This is especially important  for small FINRA firms without in-house IT or compliance; getting fully on Microsoft 365 is key to closing data compliance gaps by allowing us to centralize their data archiving (not to mention solving their cybersecurity problems on the cloud)," Lonz Added.

Ultimately though, the purpose of AdvisorVault's 17a-4 Gap Assessment is getting firms now fully consolidated on Microsoft 365. By doing this, key questions surrounding data compliance are answered:
  • Audit Supervision  Can compliance officers perform best practice audit supervision via a secure web interface for records on Microsoft 365?
  • Designated D3P  Has a Designated Third Party (D3P) been assigned for independent ccess to the firm's archive within 48 hrs of a FINRA audit?
  • Records Retention  Does the archive include electronic records as per FINRA going back 7 yrs.: journaled messages; chats; OneDrive/SharePoint; full email backups; books & records?
  • FINRA Compliant  Are advanced searches enabled with keyword flagging & download sample sets from the cloud in zip, pst , eml formats on demand?
