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.

Virtus Investment Partners Announces Retail Distribution Leadership Roles

Maccone to lead strategic distribution; Franco to lead U.S. retail sales team

Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTS), which operates a multi-boutique asset management business, today announced that Joseph E. Maccone has rejoined the company in a new role as senior managing director and head of strategic distribution and Thomas Franco has been promoted to senior managing director and head of retail sales. They both report to Barry Mandinach, executive vice present and head of distribution.

Maccone will be responsible for leading the ongoing, strategic evolution of the company’s retail distribution by building on its successful collaborations with distribution partners; enhancing its strategy for increasing sales in the registered investment advisor (RIA) channel; accelerating the growth of alternatives and other non-correlated investment strategies; and driving the distribution support of the development and introduction of new products. The company’s National Accounts, Distribution Intelligence, and Offshore Retail Sales teams will report to Maccone.

Franco assumes overall leadership of the company’s external and internal U.S. retail sales teams that promote Virtus and its affiliated managers’ offerings through intermediaries at national and regional firms, and independent broker/dealers. Franco is responsible for ensuring continuation of the company’s effective multi-manager, multi-strategy retail business development efforts.

“Joe and Tom bring a wealth of product knowledge and exceptional relationships with our intermediaries and distribution partners into these new and expanded leadership roles,” Mandinach said. “The combination of Tom’s excellence in culture-building and sales leadership and Joe’s demonstrated track record in strategic business development will enhance the continued execution of our retail growth strategy in an evolving industry.”

Maccone joins the company from Affiliated Managers Group, where he most recently was head of U.S. intermediary distribution. He previously was the divisional sales manager of the eastern region at Virtus and earlier was national sales manager for alternative investments at UBS Global Asset Management, where he worked in the private client and ultra-high net worth channels. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Villanova University and earned an MBA from the Stern School of Business at New York University.

Franco has led Virtus’ West region wirehouse sales division since 2015 after joining the company from UBS Global Asset Management, where he was managing director and head of national sales since 2009. Prior to joining UBS, he was a regional sales manager at the predecessor to Virtus. He holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the State University of New York at Oswego.
