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.

Stonepeak Acquires Fleet Companies

Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, today announced that it has acquired Fleet Companies (“Fleet”), a leading regional trailer dealership and leasing company.

Fleet Companies serves a variety of both blue chip customers and other transportation companies with an integrated offering across trailer dealership, leasing, drop yard, and maintenance operations. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee with additional operations in Nashville, Tennessee and Dallas, Texas, the company sits at the nexus of several of the fastest growing transportation hubs in the country. Fleet will serve as the seed asset for a multi-faceted national trailer platform that Stonepeak plans to build out through additional acquisitions and greenfield operations across the U.S.

The investment follows Stonepeak’s long-held thesis around and extensive experience in transportation-focused asset leasing businesses, including TRAC Intermodal (marine chassis leasing) and Textainer (container leasing), along with Air Transport Services Group (aircraft leasing), which Stonepeak entered definitive documentation to acquire earlier this month. “We view trailer leasing as an attractive sector and a strong fit for our investment strategy, given its essentiality to the transport supply chain, durable industry growth, and history of delivering solid returns on assets throughout economic cycles,” said James Wyper, Senior Managing Director and Head of Transportation & Logistics at Stonepeak.

“Fleet is a high-quality operator with strong customer relationships,” added Graham Brown, Managing Director at Stonepeak. “We have full confidence in John Wilbur and Erek Starnes, two industry veterans with whom we are partnering to grow this platform, and are optimistic about Fleet’s ability to continue to grow and deliver for its customers.”

John Wilbur, Chief Executive Officer, and Erek Starnes, President and Chief Operating Officer of Fleet, added, “We are excited to partner with Stonepeak and tap into their deep industry expertise, operational support, and broad capital base. We look forward to prioritizing our customers’ experience by expanding our fleet, upgrading our systems and leveraging our highly experienced team. This transaction positions us well to become an industry leader with a hyper focus on customer satisfaction. We look forward to working with the Stonepeak team to take Fleet into a new chapter of growth.”

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, and the transaction has already closed. Sidley Austin LLP and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP served as legal counsel to Stonepeak. Jefferies served as financial advisor to Stonepeak. Evans Petree served as legal counsel to Fleet.
