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.

RECA Reauthorized: Expanded Compensation Offers Renewed Hope to Radiation Exposure Victims

News Source: Law Office of Laura J. Taylor PLLC

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug. 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — After years of advocacy and policy delays, the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) has been reauthorized and expanded through December 31, 2028, the Law Office of Laura J. Taylor PLLC announced today. Signed into law by President Donald J. Trump on July 4, this legislation reinstates a critical federal compensation program for individuals harmed by nuclear weapons testing and uranium industry work during the mid-20th century.

Originally enacted in 1990, RECA provides $100,000 in tax-free compensation to those who developed cancer or other illnesses linked to above-ground nuclear tests or uranium employment. With this reauthorization, eligibility has been significantly broadened. New Mexico residents present between September 24, 1944, and November 6, 1962, are now covered.

Entire states – Utah, Idaho, and New Mexico – have presumptive eligibility, along with certain counties in Arizona and Nevada. Residents of ZIP codes affected by Manhattan Project–era radioactive waste in Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alaska are also included.

Eligible claimants in all areas except New Mexico must show twelve consecutive months of presence between January 21, 1951, and November 6, 1962. New Mexico residents must show one year of eligibility between 1944 and 1962. All covered groups—Downwinders, Uranium Workers, and On-Site Participants—now receive the full $100,000. Previously, payments ranged from $50,000 to $75,000 depending on exposure type. Surviving family members, including spouses, children, and grandchildren, may file claims on behalf of deceased loved ones. Prior recipients of the award are not eligible for additional compensation.

The updated statute also expands the list of compensable illnesses for uranium workers to include renal cancers, nephritis, and kidney tubal tissue injuries. It adds new employment categories such as core drillers and waste remediation workers and allows workers to qualify based on cumulative uranium-related jobs over time.

“The reauthorization of RECA is long-overdue recognition and justice for the communities and families impacted by these historic exposures,” said Laura J. Taylor Turner, Esq., principal attorney at the Law Office of Laura J. Taylor PLLC. “It’s a time-limited opportunity, and I urge anyone who may be eligible to gather their documentation and file a claim as soon as possible.”

The Department of Justice has released updated claim forms, and the filing process is officially open. All claims must be submitted before the December 31, 2027, deadline. Individuals are welcome to file on their own, and many choose to seek legal guidance to help gather records, meet eligibility requirements, and navigate the claims process.
