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.

United Petroleum Transports and Patriot Transportation Holding Conclude Acquisition

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK / ACCESSWIRE / December 21, 2023 / United Petroleum Transports, Inc. (UPT) and Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (Patriot), closed on UPT's previously announced acquisition of Patriot and its wholly owned subsidiary, Florida Rock and Tank Lines, Inc. (Florida Rock). Patriot shareholders approved the transaction at a special meeting of shareholders on December 19, 2023. UPT and Patriot finalized the transaction today. Under the terms of the merger, UPT acquired all outstanding shares of Patriot common stock for $16.26 per share in cash, valuing Patriot at approximately $66.2 million. Patriot will now transition from a publicly traded company to a privately held entity and was de-listed from the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Florida Rock will retain its operating footprint and continue to operate under its historical brand.

UPT's President & CEO, Matt Herndon, commented, "We are extremely grateful for all the work performed by so many individuals who made this transaction possible. Since the initial announcement, Florida Rock's team has effectively collaborated with UPT in planning to enhance operational outcomes with a shared goal of increasing profitability and service to customers."

The combination of these companies creates a top ten bulk tank carrier by revenue, with operations stretching from Arizona to Florida and over 1,000 professional drivers and 30 terminals.
