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.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Agrees with The Nemeroff Law Firm: Recovery of Compensation by Former Employee Against Employer is in the Courtroom

News Source: Nemeroff Law Firm

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Nemeroff Law Firm is pleased to announce it has secured a landmark legal decision in favor of employees who are left without compensation because their occupational diseases developed long after their hazardous workplace exposures ended.

In the case of Brad Lee Herold, as Executor of the Estate of William L. Herold v. University of Pittsburgh, et al., 2025 WL 258783, — A.3d — (2025), the Pennsylvania Supreme Court found the exclusivity provision of the Occupational Disease Act does not preclude an employee from seeking compensation through a civil action, when the timeliness provisions of the act operate as a de facto exclusion of coverage and preclude the historical quid pro quo or “grand bargain” between employer and employee from being effectuated.

The Herold decision builds on an earlier landmark ruling obtained more than a decade ago by the Nemeroff Law Firm in Tooey v. A.K. Steel, 81 A.3d 851 (2013) when the Supreme Court found the exclusivity provision of Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act was not implicated when the occupational disease did not develop within the act’s 300-week jurisdictional time period.

In Herold, the decedent was employed by the University of Pittsburgh for more that 40 years as a stationary engineer working on its campus facilities where he was exposed to asbestos which resulted in his development of mesothelioma some fifteen years after his exposures to asbestos ended. During litigation, the University acknowledged the court’s holding in Tooey permitted the decedent to file a civil action to obtain compensation. But it argued it was immune from civil liability under the Occupational Disease Act and its exclusive remedy provision. The University was joined by two additional state universities, amici Pennsylvania State University and Temple University. In a fifty-two (52) page opinion, the Supreme Court rejected the University’s arguments finding they would shield the employer of all potential liability and would vitiate the quid pro quo, or “grand bargain” relied upon by the employee. In the Supreme Court’s own words: “Where there is no possibility of compensation, the Grand Bargain is no bargain.”

Together, Tooey, and now Herold, help protect the rights of injured workers. “These cases deliver a powerful message from the Supreme Court on the importance of protecting employee rights in the face of the corporate negligence” said Rick Nemeroff, founder of the Nemeroff Law Firm. “We believe every employee deserves the right to reasonable compensation for his injury or disease.” According to Nemeroff, “this case demonstrates that workers should not have to suffer in silence. They have the right to seek recourse against negligent, harmful, and unfair treatment by their employers.”

But the effect of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Herold is not limited to the decedent and his family. Rather, it sets a precedent that will resonate across beyond the Commonwealth’s boundaries. According to Nemeroff, “The decision we secured in Tooey has already helped shape the law which protects workers’ rights in other states. As the excitement surrounding this victory in Herold continues, the firm hopes to inspire other attorneys and firms to take on similar cases that advocate for individual rights and protect our rights within the court system.”

The Nemeroff Law Firm has made it the firm’s mission to fight for justice, and advocate for the injured. With this win, they continue their dedication to ensuring that individuals’ voices are heard and respected within the legal system.
