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.

Roland Sanchez-Medina Jr. Advocates for Better Mental Health in the Legal Profession

By: Zexprwire

Miami attorney and Bar leader urges lawyers to look out for each other, before it’s too late

Florida, US, 21st July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Attorney and civic leader Roland Sanchez-Medina Jr., a founding partner at SMGQ Law, is calling for a renewed focus on mental health and wellness across the legal profession. Drawing from personal experience and decades of legal work, Sanchez-Medina is raising awareness about the silent challenges many attorneys face, and what can be done to change the culture from within.

“The legal profession is emotionally and mentally demanding,” Sanchez-Medina said. “We need to support lawyers before things fall apart, not after.”

Recent national studies show:

  • 28% of lawyers suffer from depression

  • 19% report anxiety

  • Over 11% have considered suicide at some point in their careers

Despite these staggering numbers, stigma and fear of professional judgment keep many attorneys from seeking help.

“A Softer, Kinder, Gentler Profession”

Sanchez-Medina, who has practiced law for over 30 years, says the problem isn’t just personal, it’s cultural.

“Too many lawyers only hear from their professional circles when something goes wrong,” he said.
 “We need to build a legal community where connection, not just correction, is the norm.”

He stresses that mental health should not be treated as a side issue. “This can affect careers, families, and lives,” he said. “If attorneys lose their ability to make a living, everything else can unravel.”

Mentorship and Human Connection

Sanchez-Medina believes part of the solution lies in peer support. He has mentored dozens of young lawyers and students over the years, including a former teenage Haitian immigrant and a young associate who became a partner at his firm.

“Mentorship changes lives,” he said. “Someone did it for me. Now I try to do it for others.”

In 2018, he arranged a Harvard tour for low-income Miami high school students during his daughter’s time as a student there. “Those little things matter,” he said. “Sometimes people just need a door opened, or someone to say, ‘I see you.’”

What You Can Do

Sanchez-Medina’s message isn’t about launching a foundation or starting a campaign. It’s simpler: each person can do something.

“Check in on a colleague. Offer time to a law student. Use the resources that are already out there,” he said.
 “And don’t be afraid to talk about mental health like we talk about deadlines or cases.”

A Personal Mission

The son of Cuban immigrants, Sanchez-Medina understands the pressure to push through silently. But he says the time has come to rethink that mindset.

“We’re trained to solve other people’s problems. But we rarely stop to check on ourselves,” he said.
 “That needs to change. And it starts with us.”

He isn’t representing any organization in this effort, just himself, a lawyer who has seen the highs and lows of the profession.

“This is personal,” he added. “We can build a healthier profession together. But only if we decide to.”

Lawyers, legal staff, and law students are encouraged to:

  • Reach out to someone they haven’t spoken to in a while

  • Ask how colleagues are really doing

  • Recommend confidential support services when needed

  • Speak openly about stress, burnout, and wellness in their circles

“If you see someone struggling, don’t wait. Say something. Be the reason someone feels less alone.”
