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.

WNN Investigation Reveals Big Law Defense Firms are Representing Confidential SEC Whistleblowers

By: WebWire

Today, Whistleblower Network News (WNN) has revealed, for the first time, that large “Big Law'' corporate law firms are confidentially or quietly representing SEC whistleblowers in Dodd-Frank reward cases . Firms such as Winston & Strawn and Akin Gump have already obtained whistleblower reward judgments in claims filed against corporate criminals.

A review of 1034 pages of documents released by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) revealed that six law firms that primarily defend large corporations or Wall Street executives during investigations launched by the SEC or Justice Department have obtained over $56 million in rewards on behalf of seven whistleblowers.

“The revelation that the most notorious anti-whistleblower law firms are quietly representing whistleblowers in SEC enforcement cases came as a shock,” said Stephen M. Kohn, a whistleblower attorney at Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto who filed the FOIA request on behalf of WNN and NWC. “The potential for massive conflicts of interest is obvious, as these firms base their practices on defending corporations accused by whistleblowers of engaging in bribery, money laundering, and securities frauds.”

“The SEC did a significant public service by making these disclosures,” said Siri Nelson, the Executive Director of NWC. “Whistleblowers need to know that corporate firms that make millions of dollars by defending corporate criminals are also trying to represent whistleblowers, whose interests may conflict with their major client base. It is extremely troubling that some of these defense firms may have tried to take advantage of Dodd-Frank's confidentiality rules in order to hide their representation of whistleblowers from their corporate clients.” Based on a review of the defense firms' websites, five of the six firms did not mention that they had successfully represented whistleblowers in Dodd-Frank Act cases.

The SEC FOIA documents revealed that at least 64 separate law firms successfully represented whistleblowers, and that over 50 whistleblowers who obtained rewards had represented themselves. “The Dodd-Frank whistleblower law works and works remarkably well. Even the corporate law firms have figured this out. Since the SEC launched the program, over $5 billion has been collected in sanctions, and over $1.3 billion has been returned to harmed investors,” Kohn said.
