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.

PACS Group Announces Executive Management Changes

  • Derick Apt named Chief Financial Officer
  • Mark Hancock assumes new role as Executive Vice Chairman
  • PJ Sanford named President of PACS Services

PACS Group, Inc. has named Derick Apt as its new Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Mark Hancock, who held that position since co-founding PACS in 2013. Mr. Hancock will continue to be involved in the company’s executive management in his new role as Executive Vice Chairman. The new roles were both effective January 1, 2024.

“Mark has helped lead PACS from a two-facility organization, to becoming one of the largest skilled nursing companies in the country, with over 200 facilities in nine states,” said Jason Murray, CEO and co-founder of PACS. “As my business partner for the past decade he’s shown incredible leadership in building our company’s financial foundation, navigating economic challenges and a global pandemic that hit our industry particularly hard.

“With Mark’s extensive background in finance and operations, and his deep understanding of our company’s history and culture, he will continue to direct the company’s strategic plan in his ongoing role as an executive officer and member of our Board of Directors.”

PACS’s mission is to revolutionize the delivery, leadership and quality of post-acute care nationally. Today, the company’s affiliates operate 218 facilities, with more than 32,000 employees in nine states, serving more than 20,000 patients and residents daily.

“We’re also excited to have Derick in this new role. Derick’s been with PACS for many years and brings with him an in-depth knowledge of our industry and the larger world of finance and investment,” said Mr. Murray. “He’s led the way in our growth and acquisition efforts for the last several years, ensured our investment strategies were forward-thinking, and helped pave the way for future growth. He’ll continue to lead our investment strategies in addition to his CFO duties.”

Mr. Apt joined PACS in 2018, first as Vice President of Finance and Treasury, and most recently as Chief Investment Officer where he oversaw cash and debt management, led property and asset investments, and directed business acquisitions and divestitures. Prior to PACS, he was the Treasury and Finance Manager at Vivint, Inc. Before Vivint, Derick held positions in treasury departments at Intermountain Healthcare and Goldman Sachs. Mr. Apt has a bachelor’s degree in biological engineering from the University of Missouri, and an MBA with an emphasis in international banking from the George Washington University.

Also, effective Jan. 1, PJ Sanford has been appointed President of PACS Services, which provides a comprehensive suite of support services to the company’s affiliated healthcare facilities throughout the U.S. Mr. Sanford has been with the company since its founding, first as the administrator of one of the company’s original facilities, and then in executive management roles with a focus on PACS Services operations.

“PJ has been a great asset to our company, and we look forward to his continued leadership at PACS Services in the years to come,” said Mr. Murray. “He’s helped develop PACS Services into what we feel is the premier administrative support solution for post-acute care facilities across the country, and we are thrilled that he’s taking on this new role as we continue to grow as a company.”
