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.

Owens Corning Announces Chief Financial Officer Transition

Owens Corning (NYSE: OC) today announced that Chief Financial Officer Ken Parks will be stepping down from his role effective September 15 to pursue another professional opportunity.

Todd Fister, who has served as President of the company’s global Insulation business since 2019, will succeed Mr. Parks as CFO, effective September 15.

“I want to thank Ken for his contributions to our company over the past three years,” said Chair and Chief Executive Officer Brian Chambers. “Under Ken’s leadership, we have strengthened the capability of our global finance team and consistently delivered our financial targets as we bring our enterprise strategy to life.”

“I’ve worked closely with Todd over the past several years and am excited to welcome him to the CFO role.” Mr. Chambers added, “Todd brings a broad set of financial, operational, and strategic experiences and capabilities to the new role, along with invaluable customer perspective, that will be critical as we continue to accelerate our growth and expand the earnings power of our company.”

Mr. Fister is a proven business leader bringing 27 years of global experience at Fortune 500 companies spanning the building materials, consumer products, and packaging industries. Since 2019, Mr. Fister has served as president of the $3.7 billion Insulation segment, leading a global team of approximately 8,000 employees, and as a member of the company’s Executive Committee. Under his leadership, the business has grown revenue by 30 percent and more than doubled EBIT. Mr. Fister was also instrumental in developing the company’s enterprise strategy launched in 2021.

Before his appointment as Insulation president, he served as both Vice President of Global Insulation and Strategy, and Managing Director, Global Foamglas and Europe Insulation, based in Belgium. He also led over $1.5 billion in M&A activity from evaluation to negotiation and integration.

Prior to joining Owens Corning in 2014, Mr. Fister spent seven years at MeadWestvaco, now WestRock, in roles of increasing responsibility across finance, corporate development, and strategy. He also worked at Kimberly-Clark, and began his career in finance at Procter & Gamble.

Details on Mr. Fister’s successor as Insulation president will be forthcoming soon.
