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.

SEC Grants Maximum Award to Whistleblower Who Stopped a $100 Million Fraud Scheme

By: WebWire

We are very proud of the contributions and achievements of our client, who lawfully reported and stopped an ongoing criminal conspiracy that defrauded shareholders and the public. On Friday, October 15, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Office of the Whistleblower quietly posted the SEC's final order granting our client a whistleblower award.

In its award decision, the SEC accurately described the contributions of our client:

“Claimant alerted Enforcement staff to the potential wrongdoing, prompting the opening of the investigation. Claimant also provided significant ongoing assistance to Enforcement during the investigation that saved time and resources that helped shut down an ongoing fraudulent scheme.”

In addition to the SEC enforcement action, our client's information resulted in numerous successful prosecutions, including several criminal convictions. One of the principal fraudsters was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison and is currently serving time.

The underlying frauds reported by the whistleblower were in excess of $100 million. We hope that as the criminal cases are concluded, and additional funds are collected, the whistleblower will be further compensated for his contributions and testimony in those actions.

“If Congress had not enacted the Dodd - Frank Act whistleblower award provisions, shareholders and taxpayers would have lost even more money. The SEC whistleblower program created a safe path for our client to report the crime,” said David K. Colapinto, attorney for the whistleblower.

“The SEC acted quickly in response to our client's whistleblower tip to form a joint investigation with the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service, and other federal agencies, which led to the criminal prosecutions and convictions of the fraudsters,” Colapinto continued.

“The government was unaware of the fraud before the whistleblower came forward. After successful criminal prosecutions, the SEC has recognized the whistleblower's contributions by granting an award of 30% of the collected proceeds, the highest amount allowed under law,” Colapinto added.

Regrettably, the government only collected a small portion of the $100 million fraud. As a result, the initial award of about $300,000 to the whistleblower is small compared to the amount of the overall fraud committed.

“Without the SEC whistleblower program, the whistleblower would have had a far more difficult path collecting any award,” Colapinto said.

“Despite the low award, it is a huge victory,” he added.
