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.

CORRECTING and REPLACING Matthew J. Missad named Chairman of the Board for UFP Industries

Current Chairman William G. Currie to retire at end of term

First paragraph, third sentence of release dated February 3, 2023, should read: "[William G. Currie] then will step down after 54 years with the company."

The updated release reads:

MATTHEW J. MISSAD NAMED CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD FOR UFP INDUSTRIES

Current Chairman William G. Currie to retire at end of term

UFP Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI), today announced that CEO Matthew J. Missad also has been named chairman of the board. The move, approved by the board of directors at their February 2, 2023, meeting and effective immediately, is part of a comprehensive succession plan that calls for both change and continuity: Board Chairman William G. Currie will remain as a director through the end of his term. He then will step down after 54 years with the company. Missad will remain with the Company at least through 2027, as other elements of the succession plan are put in place.

“Bill Currie powered this company’s growth and direction for decades and made sure those of us who followed were ready to assume leadership roles,” Missad said. “That meant giving us training, challenges, and trust, and the autonomy to make decisions and accept responsibility for their consequences. Largely because of his leadership and mentorship, I was able to assume the CEO role 12 years ago, and I am honored to accept this new opportunity today.”

Added Currie: “No one is better able to shoulder this responsibility than Matt Missad. For 45 years, he has been dedicated to our excellence and success. As CEO, he quickly proved his ability to lead our operations and grow our business, and as chairman, he will continue to be the key driver of our strategic direction.”

Missad started with UFP Industries in 1978 (when it was The Universal Companies) as a high school student working part time on the maintenance crew and putting himself through college and law school. He joined the Company full time in 1985 as manager of legal compliance. Over the years, he held several successive positions, including executive vice president, general counsel, and secretary of the board. In 2011, he became the fifth CEO in the Company's 68-year-history.

UFP Industries, Inc.
