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.

With nearly 15 years of experience navigating security requirements across commercial and government organizations, Thompson most recently served as the global vice president of physical security and cybersecurity at Vantage. Prior to joining Vantage, Thompson was a security manager at General Dynamics Corporation where he oversaw the organizational security efforts for more than 400 employees. Earlier in his career, he held several roles at the FBI, including acting associate chief security officer, where he demonstrated his commitment to risk reduction by implementing enhanced security measures and risk assessments.

“Given the increased number of cyber threats that businesses all around the world are faced with today, it’s our responsibility to be prepared to address and mitigate the potential harm these may cause,” said Chris Yetman, chief operating officer at Vantage. “As Vantage continues to scale internationally, so do our networks, demanding a holistic approach to strengthening the cybersecurity protections for our customers and for our organization. I’m pleased to continue working with Greg in this new capacity to mature our cyber program while investing in technology and processes to best protect our systems.”

“This is a volatile time in the cybersecurity space as organizations across multiple industries face cyber events each day,” said Thompson. “I’m excited to take on this new role and exclusively lead Vantage’s cyber initiatives to protect our digital infrastructure across the company’s growing number of data center assets.”

Thompson’s dedication to security excellence has earned him industry recognition as part of Security Systems News’ 40 under 40 list in 2020 and the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s (NVTC) Next Generation Leader award in 2021.
