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.

Chief Operating Officer (COO) Jan Merker concluded his tenure at Brainlab at his own request by the end of the company's fiscal year on September 30, 2024, to pursue new professional opportunities. During his seven-year tenure, he very successfully transformed the areas under his responsibility, including the development of crucial processes and resources as part of an insourcing initiative. Merker’s leadership spanned the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated supply chain disruptions, during which the company grew its sales by nearly 70 percent. He effectively advanced the strategic business areas of Robotics and Imaging, laying a future-proof foundation for the company’s continued growth through various digitalization initiatives. Brainlab CEO, Stefan Vilsmeier and the Supervisory Board expressly thank Merker for his many years of dedicated service.

Building on this foundation yet shifting focus to developing deeper integration between different functional areas across the organization, Brainlab is leveraging the operational experience of long-standing executives and expands the Executive Board from three to four people. With immediate effect, the company appoints Tobias Schalkhausser as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) to rethink its entire digital customer journey, and Florian Hoffmann as Chief Operating Officer (COO) with an adjusted scope to cover the full product life cycle, from R&D to production and installation to customer support. Both will work side by side with long-standing members of the Executive Board, Stefan Vilsmeier (CEO) and Rainer Birkenbach (CTO).

Florian Hoffmann has been responsible for major areas of Brainlab hardware development as Vice President R&D for the past four years and has been working for Brainlab in various functions since 2012. By closely linking the relevant areas of the Executive Board, Hoffmann covers the entire life cycle of hardware products and will coordinate processes even more closely. He is also responsible for the Facilities division. Florian Hoffmann is valued by all colleagues for his dedication, commitment, and personal involvement in the execution of important initiatives.

Tobias Schalkhausser has been digitally transforming his previous area of responsibility as Executive Vice President Marketing since 2019. He brings in-depth expertise from two decades as Managing Director of his own digital marketing agency. He will digitally integrate processes in his new areas of responsibility, Sales Operations, Human Resources, Business Applications and IT, in addition to Marketing. Accordingly, Tobias Schalkhausser will deepen and restructure the touch points with our products and processes for all internal and external stakeholders, thereby contributing to growth and profitability.

“While we’ll miss Jan Merker and his contributions to our success, we’re pleased to expand our Executive Board with accomplished internal executives who both bring a wealth of experience leading our business through times of pivotal growth,” said Stefan Vilsmeier, President and CEO, Brainlab. “We’re excited to fully leverage the expertise and experience of both Florian Hoffmann and Tobias Schalkhausser and look forward to their contribution to making an even greater difference for patients around the world.”
