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 to Acquire Forgital Group from Carlyle

By: via Business Wire

Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Forgital Group (“Forgital” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer of advanced forged and machine-finished components for aerospace and industrial end markets, from global investment firm Carlyle (NASDAQ: CG).

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241215926348/en/

Forgital, founded in 1873, specializes in forged and laminated metallic rolled rings, with technologically advanced manufacturing capabilities across a broad portfolio of materials, including titanium, nickel-based alloys, aluminum, and steel. The Company serves a diverse range of end markets, including aerospace, defense, space, power generation, and oil & gas, and offers vertical integration across the entire forged components value chain, from process engineering to assembly, final machining, and testing. Forgital has a global workforce with an operational footprint across Europe and North America spanning nine facilities in Italy, France, and the United States.

Conor Sutherland, Managing Director at Stonepeak, said: “Forgital is an integral link in the global aerospace supply chain, and a trusted partner to leading aerospace manufacturers and industrial customers. We have high conviction in long-term aerospace end market demand and believe Forgital is positioned to benefit from these tailwinds. We admire Forgital’s strong business model, manufacturing excellence and distinguished reputation among its customers for quality and reliability. We are thrilled to make this investment and partner with Forgital’s dedicated management team and talented workforce to support Forgital’s continued success.”

Meddah Hadjar, CEO of Forgital, said: “I would like to thank the Carlyle team for their invaluable support, expertise and guidance over the last few years, which have been a significant period of change and development for Forgital. Stonepeak represents an ideal partner for the next stage of Forgital’s growth, bringing deep experience, global relationships, and operational expertise within sectors and businesses that are mission-critical to the supply chain. We are excited to leverage these resources to support our customers, and to partner with Conor and the rest of the Stonepeak team as we continue to develop Forgital’s manufacturing excellence and global capabilities.”

Marco De Benedetti, Chairman of Italy at Carlyle, said: “We are pleased to have supported Forgital through such a transformative period for the business. As a result of the investment, partnership, and the team’s sector expertise, we believe Forgital is well-placed to capitalise from long-term growth in its key end markets of aerospace & defence and industrial applications, and I have no doubt the business will continue to build upon its strong position today as a European leader in specialised forged products.”

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025 and is subject to the satisfaction of customary regulatory approvals.

Morgan Securities Plc served as financial advisor to Carlyle. Latham & Watkins LLP served as legal counsel to Carlyle.
