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.

Ferguson Announces Three Acquisitions

By: via Business Wire

Continues to execute growth strategy through bolt-on geographic and capability acquisitions

Ferguson plc (NYSE: FERG; LSE: FERG) has signed definitive purchase agreements to acquire Yorkwest Plumbing Supply Inc. and Grove Supply, Inc., and closed on the acquisition of Harway Appliances. These acquisitions have aggregate annualized revenues of approximately $220 million.

Yorkwest Plumbing Supply Inc.

Yorkwest is a leading distributor of plumbing, municipal, hydronics, institutional, HVAC and industrial products in the greater Toronto area. Each of Yorkwest’s four locations includes a kitchen and bath showroom branded as Atlantis Bath Centre. Yorkwest’s business operations will be integrated into Ferguson’s subsidiary in Canada, Wolseley Canada.

Grove Supply, Inc.

Founded in 1948 and headquartered north of Philadelphia, PA, Grove Supply is a plumbing and HVAC distributor that serves the residential trade, builder and remodel markets. Grove Supply has 17 locations across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and six of the locations include showrooms that operate as GSI Bath Showplace. This acquisition expands our plumbing and HVAC presence in Metro Philadelphia and will allow us to better serve local dual-trade professionals.

Harway Appliances

Harway is a premier distributor of high-end kitchen appliances for homeowners, custom home builders and designers in Austin, TX. This acquisition strengthens our showroom presence in one of the fastest-growing markets in the country and offers an opportunity for further expansion into the plumbing and lighting categories. It also grows our delivery and installation capabilities in Austin through Harway’s network of both in-house and third-party delivery and installation teams.

The acquisition of Harway Appliances closed on Jan. 8. The Yorkwest and Grove Supply acquisitions are expected to close in the next 90 days, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory clearance of the Yorkwest acquisition.

“As we acquire new businesses, we place tremendous value on the expertise of the talented associates and the customer relationships they bring to the business,” said Ferguson CEO Kevin Murphy. “Our strategy remains twofold: prioritizing organic growth and consolidating fragmented markets through acquisitions that align well with our culture and values.”

Ferguson has a proven track record of successful acquisitions and has completed more than 50 acquisitions in the last five years. The large, fragmented markets in which Ferguson operates comprise 10,000+ small to medium ($10-300 million revenue) independent companies across Ferguson’s nine customer groups in North America.
