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.

MetLife Investment Management to Acquire Alternative Investment Firm Raven Capital Management

MetLife Investment Management (MIM), the institutional asset management business of MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET), announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Raven Capital Management, a privately-owned alternative investment firm. As of December 31, 2022, Raven’s assets under management totaled $2.1 billion. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions.

Raven invests across the private credit spectrum, with a specialization in primary origination, underwriting, execution and management of middle market direct asset-based investments. It is expected that the acquisition of Raven will significantly advance MIM’s ability to grow its higher yielding private credit offerings as well as its overall origination in the asset classes and sectors in which Raven specializes.

“A distinguishing feature of MIM is our ability to originate differentiated private investment opportunities for our clients. The addition of Raven Capital Management will broaden and further distinguish our offerings in higher yielding private credit and alternative investments,” said Steven J. Goulart, president of MIM and executive vice president and chief investment officer for MetLife. “MIM will be able to deliver more for our clients and continue to expand our range of capabilities and complementary investment strategies.”

Based in New York and Santa Monica, Calif., Raven Capital Management is primarily focused on direct asset-based investments, including senior secured loans as well as outright purchase of cash-flowing assets. It manages a range of specialty assets such as music and media, among others.

“We are excited to join a leading global asset manager in MIM and believe we can accelerate both our success and MIM’s as an integrated part of its platform,” said Josh Green, founder, president and chief investment officer of Raven Capital. “MIM is a like-minded partner positioned for continued growth. We look forward to the opportunity to bring investment solutions to an even broader group of institutional clients.”
