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.

Alsco Uniforms Acquires Topper Linen, Expands with Second Laundry Facility in Toronto





Addition expands company's operations to two laundry facilities in Toronto

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, June 23, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Alsco Uniforms, a global leader in uniform and linen laundry services headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, has announced the acquisition of Topper Linen, strengthening its service capabilities and expanding its footprint in the Greater Toronto Area.

"This acquisition marks an exciting step forward in our continued growth," said Bob Steiner, CEO of Alsco Uniforms. "We're proud to welcome the employees and customers of Topper Linen to Alsco Uniforms. As a 135-year-old, family-owned company with deep Canadian roots, we understand the value of long-standing relationships and appreciate the trust Topper has built in the Toronto community. We look forward to building on that legacy and delivering reliable, consistent, and exceptional service."

"We are confident our customers will be excited that Alsco Uniforms brings the same values of service and partnership that Topper always upheld," said Tim Topornicki, President of Topper Linen and Uniform Service, who has spent 46 years committed to service excellence in the Toronto market.

As part of this transition, Topper's Toronto facility and fleet of delivery trucks will be rebranded as Alsco Uniforms over the coming months. The addition of this location expands operations to two laundry facilities in Toronto, enhancing the ability to serve industrial, healthcare, hospitality, and food and beverage businesses throughout the region.

Alsco Uniforms will continue to operate both Toronto facilities independently. Current Topper Linen employees will remain in place, ensuring service continuity and local expertise remain at the forefront of the customer experience. "Keeping the talented Topper employees was a vital factor in this acquisition," emphasized Mr. Steiner.

Jim Kearns, chief operating officer at Alsco Uniforms, expressed his commitment to growth, stating, "This acquisition of Topper Linen gives us a strong base to better serve customers in the Toronto area. Along with strategic acquisitions, we plan on investing more in expanding our sales and service teams across North America to support our growth initiatives."
