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.

TPG Announces Inaugural TPG NEXT Fund to Invest in Underrepresented Alternative Asset Managers

By: via Business Wire

$500M Commitment From CalPERS Will Anchor TPG NEXT Fund

TPG (NASDAQ: TPG), a global alternative asset management firm, today announced the launch of the inaugural TPG NEXT fund, which will back the next generation of underrepresented alternative asset managers. CalPERS will anchor the fund with a $500 million commitment, and TPG will continue to raise third-party capital to address its significant pipeline and compelling opportunity set across the diverse manager landscape. The target size of the fund was not disclosed.

TPG launched TPG NEXT to seed new managers, strengthen their access to capital, offer business building expertise, and provide strategic advisory support to talent that is chronically underrepresented in alternative asset management. The strategy aims to increase the number of diverse-led firms in alternative assets, aligning the industry more closely with broader demographic trends.

“We launched TPG NEXT to empower principal talent underrepresented in alternative assets to become next generation industry leaders,” said Jon Winkelried, CEO of TPG. “CalPERS’ anchor commitment to the inaugural TPG NEXT fund is an important step in mobilizing change in our industry. Together, we will bring financial and operational capital support to diverse-led firms, accelerating their growth and success and demonstrating their ability to generate competitive returns.”

“CalPERS is committed to giving access and opportunity to new and innovative talent in the investment industry,” said CalPERS Chief Investment Officer Nicole Musicco. “We hope this partnership with TPG is the first step in developing an ecosystem that will catalyze the next generation of diverse talent and foster different ways of seeing and solving problems.”

TPG will also partner with CalPERS to create additional insights, resources, and networking opportunities for investor entrepreneurs as they launch their businesses. TPG and CalPERS are developing holistic tools that will provide practical, actionable expertise to enable investors to implement operational and managerial best practices on Day 1. The organizations will also host gatherings to convene GPs and LPs seeking to diversify the alternative asset management ecosystem.

TPG NEXT leverages the full TPG ecosystem by combining capital, operating expertise, and the broad reach of its network to help underrepresented founders and teams build businesses for the future. The firm began investing in diverse managers in 2019 and has since backed three firms: Harlem Capital, VamosVentures, and LandSpire.

The TPG NEXT strategy joins The Rise Fund and TPG Rise Climate as part of TPG’s industry-leading $16 billion global impact investing platform. The platform’s funds are committed to driving both competitive financial returns and meaningful, measurable impact at scale.

“TPG NEXT seeks to address the talent gap through a suite of capital solutions and value-add support that is designed to address frequent pain points of new firms in a comprehensive way,” said Pamela Pavkov, Partner and Head of TPG NEXT. “Our aim is that this fund will not only advance diverse-led firms but also the diverse communities that these managers are connected to, bringing our industry more in line with demographic trends while also providing unique access to differentiated investment opportunities. We are thrilled to reach this milestone with CalPERS and look forward to continuing to build and grow our manager seeding platform.”

CalPERS, which has been investing in newly established teams and partnerships in the investment industry for more than 30 years, is investing with TPG as part of an initiative aimed at identifying and supporting the next generation of investor entrepreneurs in the private markets. The CalPERS Board recently increased its allocation to private equity from 8% to 13%, starting with the 2022-23 fiscal year.
