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.

DLC Announces $625M Portfolio Acquisition and DRA Advisors Joint Venture

"This joint venture marks a landmark moment for DLC as we expand to the West Coast and continue our evolution into a truly national enterprise," said Adam Ifshin, Co-Founder and CEO of DLC. "Our longtime partners at DRA sourced the opportunity and had the vision to bring us in, recognizing that DLC's owner-operator model and best-in-class value creation platform are uniquely positioned to maximize the potential of this portfolio. While we have selectively invested in western markets before-most notably in San Diego, Seattle, and Southern California-this is the first opportunity of scale and quality to warrant establishing a permanent West Coast presence."

The joint venture will acquire the portfolio from Merlone Geier. Building on the many successful transactions DRA and DLC have executed together over the years, DLC will once again provide its value creation, leasing, property management, and construction management expertise to the partnership. This transaction also marks the 12th deal that DLC has closed since December 2023 with its co-General Partner, Temerity Strategic Partners, which has committed growth capital to help DLC expand its assets by $2 billion by 2026.

"Our culture is the engine behind this expansion," said Chris Ressa, Partner and COO at DLC. "We are excited to welcome new West Coast team members into a culture defined by collaboration, accountability, and growth. This move is just the beginning of our effort to build a truly national platform-and it's an exciting time to be part of DLC."

Recognized as a Great Place to Work® for the past eight years, DLC continues to grow not only as a leading national retail platform but also as a team-oriented organization committed to creativity, collaboration, and an owner-operator mindset. With this expansion, DLC is actively recruiting talented professionals to join its mission of creating lasting value for communities, retailers, and investors.
