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.

How Americans define financial success

In this video, Vanessa Welch, Empower vice president for financial insights, interviews Rebecca Rickert, Empower’s head of communications and consumer insights, about the new research study, Secret to Success. Here is a transcript:

Vanessa Welch: Empower just launched a new study, Secret to Success. And here to talk to us about this study and some of the details is Rebecca Rickert. She is the head of communications for Empower. Becca, great to see you.

Rebecca Rickert: Vanessa, great to see you.

Welch: So, let’s start with the quantity. How do Americans view financial success today?

Rickert: On average, people say it takes a salary of $270,000 a year to be financially successful. But what’s interesting is how much this estimate varies by generation, particularly for Gen Z, who set the bar at $587,000 a year, which is nine times higher than the national average of what people earn today.

Welch: Becca, when the numbers came in, were you surprised by Gen Z’s response, that big 587 number?

Rickert: Not really. I think based on some of the economic forces that we just talked about. Right? Gen Z is coming up in this era marked by these major economic disruptions from the pandemic to the highest inflation rates, student loan debt, and a challenge… a challenging housing market. I think Gen Z is banking on needing a big financial moat around themselves to reach a future state of financial success.

Welch: Yeah. Makes sense. Let’s switch gears and talk a little bit about the qualities people associate with financial success. Your study identifies a “factor of four.” Walk us through those.

Rickert: Yeah. Well, the upshot is that people are their own secret to success, and they associate it with this “factor of four.” It’s hard work, talent, who you know, and a little luck. And the first three get you ready for when that serendipity comes.

Welch: What are some of the other hallmarks of success for people?

Rickert: Yeah. Well, all of our studies have shown that financial success and happiness is not just about reaching this magic number. You know, in our most recent study, for 40% of people, it’s about retiring at a goal age. And while working, enjoying the job you have; it’s the ability to pay bills on time, homeownership, and also about affording experiences.

Welch: I love that, Becca. If people are interested in more and they want to dive into this research a little bit more, go through all the details, where can they find your work?

Rickert: All of our research and insights can be found on The Currency, which is on Empower.com.

Welch: Love it. Thanks so much. Great interview.

Rickert: Thanks, Vanessa.
