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.

Melda Mergen to Become Global Head of Equities

Planned succession follows appointment of William Davies as Global CIO

Columbia Threadneedle Investments today announced that, as part of a planned transition, Melda Mergen, Deputy Global Head of Equities, will succeed William Davies as Global Head of Equities on October 1, 2021. As previously announced, Mr. Davies will assume the role of Global Chief Investment Officer in January 2022 when current Global CIO Colin Moore retires from the firm. Ms. Mergen will continue to report to Mr. Davies when she assumes her new role.

Ms. Mergen has made significant contributions to the firm in research, portfolio management and investment oversight roles since joining a predecessor firm to Columbia Threadneedle in 1999. She assumed her current role as Deputy Global Head of Equities, overseeing the U.S. equity investment team, in 2017, having previously served as Head of U.S. Equities and prior to that leading the investment oversight team. In her new role, Ms. Mergen will lead Columbia Threadneedle’s equity investment teams across the U.S., EMEA and APAC.

In addition to her leadership responsibilities, Ms. Mergen co-manages several large-cap equity strategies. She will continue to manage portfolios when she assumes her new role and there is no change to the investment process that underpins these strategies. Ms. Mergen is also co-chair of the firm’s North America Diversity & Inclusion Group.

Mr. Davies said: “Melda is a highly respected investor and proven leader with a strong track record in delivering consistently competitive investment performance and research-driven solutions for our clients. We have worked together for many years and I am confident that the leadership and continuity she brings to the role will serve our clients well.”

Columbia Threadneedle’s team of almost 200 equity professionals globally manages over $311 billion in assets, across market capitalizations, sectors and geographies from investment centers in Boston, Chicago, London, Menlo Park, Minneapolis, New York, Portland, Singapore and Stamford.
