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.

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Visterra Landscape Group, one of the nation's fastest-growing commercial landscape companies, today announced the acquisition of Loyet Landscape Maintenance, a leading provider of commercial landscape services in St. Louis for four decades. The acquisition doubles Visterra's footprint in the St. Louis market, strengthens its operational leadership with the addition of Loyet executives, and adds a highly complementary portfolio of commercial clients across diverse end-markets.

Founded in 1985 by Joseph Loyet, Loyet Landscape Maintenance has been family-owned with deep community roots since its inception. Operating from two branches across the St. Louis metropolitan area, the company specializes in comprehensive commercial landscape services. Over the past forty years, Loyet has earned a reputation for service excellence, serving marquee clients in healthcare, education, retail, multifamily housing, office, HOAs, and industrial sectors.

"We are thrilled to welcome Joe Loyet and all Loyet employees to the Visterra family," said Alan T. Handley, President and CEO of Visterra. "This acquisition underscores our continued focus on partnering with founders and entrepreneurs who share our core values-creating an exceptional workplace culture rooted in people, safety, service excellence, growth, and the entrepreneurial spirit. We are committed to providing Loyet employees, customers, and the broader St. Louis community with expanded career opportunities, enhanced health benefits, new service offerings, and the assurance that landscaping in St. Louis will remain as vibrant as it has been throughout Loyet's four decades of service."

"As we considered the idea of selling, our top priority was ensuring that the employees who have built our company and the customers who have trusted us for decades would see meaningful benefits from a new partnership," Loyet said. "When it came to choosing a partner, it was clear that Visterra checked all of those boxes and more. Looking at the many companies that have joined Visterra since its founding, their commitment to employees, customers, and communities is undeniable. I am deeply honored to have served the St. Louis community for the past forty years and am excited for all that Loyet Landscaping will accomplish in its next chapter with Visterra."

The acquisition is Visterra's ninth since its December 2022 founding. Visterra partner companies include Riverside Services and Herzog Landscape Solutions in the Northeast; Dyna-Mist in the South; and Oberson's, GroundsPRO, Full Care, H&M Landscaping, Cru Cutters and Loyet serving the greater Midwest.
