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.

Generational Group Advises Smith Equipment Solutions in its Sale to Brixey & Meyer Capital

Generational Group, a leading mergers and acquisitions advisory firm for privately held businesses, is pleased to announce the sale of its client, Smith Equipment Solutions, to Brixey & Meyer Capital (“BMC”). The acquisition closed on October 31, 2024.

Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, Smith Equipment Solutions (“Smith”) is a second-generation family business specializing in the commercial equipment sector, with a primary focus on the automotive industry. The company sells, maintains and installs automotive service equipment, compressed air and fluid transfer systems for clients across various industries.

As a leading provider of industrial equipment, sales, service, and preventative maintenance, Smith supports automotive repair centers and dealerships throughout the Carolinas.

BMC is a private investment firm headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio that specializes in investments across the manufacturing, healthcare, distribution, and business services sectors. The Smith transaction represents BMC’s second investment into the automotive aftermarket equipment industry. Smith’s previous owners will retain an ownership stake alongside BMC.

Jack Sluiter, Generational Managing Director of M&A, stated, “This was a classic situation where a great 2nd generation business had reached its max growth under its own power. What was needed was a qualified buyer who understood their niche industry and had the human and financial resources to grow. That’s what they found with BMC.”

Ryan Binkley, CEO of Generational Group, added, “This transaction highlights our commitment to facilitating deals that create lasting value for both parties. At Generational Group, we are proud to facilitate such impactful transactions.”

Generational Group Executive Managing Director, M&A, David Fergusson, and his team led by Managing Director, M&A, Jack Sluiter, with the support of Senior Vice President, M&A, Tristan Keeffe, successfully closed the deal.
