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 Tropar Manufacturing Company on Its Sale to JDS Industries

Generational Group, a leading mergers and acquisitions advisory firm for privately held businesses, is pleased to announce the sale of its client, Tropar Manufacturing Corporation (“Tropar”), to JDS Industries. The acquisition closed September 30, 2024.

Located in Florham Park, New Jersey, Tropar Manufacturing Corporation is the creator of Airflyte® products, which have set the standard for affordable, high-quality recognition awards since 1959. As a privately held company with over 65 years of experience, Tropar is celebrated for its innovative designs, exceptional craftsmanship, and outstanding customer service, holding more than 30 design patents that solidify its leadership in the awards and promotional products industry.

Named “Supplier of the Year – Multi Locations” 2019-2020 by the Awards and Recognition Industry Association, Tropar maintains the one of the largest inventory of recognition awards in North America, offering rapid shipping from four U.S. distribution centers. Airflyte® products are distributed through 5,000 dealers across North America and 10 international markets.

Based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, JDS Industries is a global leader in supplying component parts for awards, promotional products, gifts, sign supplies, and other customizable items.

“JDS Industries is very proud to be able to offer this line to our many customers,” said JDS Industries CEO Scott Sletten. “This addition of Airflyte® products to our corporate award offerings will add to our already extensive line of corporate-focused products.”

“We want to thank the Ilaria family for all of their hard work and dedication in building Tropar over the past 65 years,” stated Sletten. “JDS plans to add to the offerings as well as bring our award-winning customer service to make the Airflyte® line even more successful well into the future.”

Tropar will continue its current operations through the remainder of 2024. Starting in early 2025, all Tropar products will be available exclusively through JDS Industries. This transition combines Tropar's exceptional Airflyte® products with JDS's award-winning service and programs, creating an unbeatable partnership.

Generational Group Executive Managing Director, M&A-Technology Practice Leader, David Fergusson, and his team led by Managing Director, M&A, Moses Shmueli, with the support of Managing Director, M&A, Corey Painter successfully closed the transaction. Senior Managing Director, Thomas Hamm established the initial relationship with Tropar.

“Since its founding in 1959, Tropar has differentiated itself through its targeted markets, commitment to quality, timeliness, and well-stocked inventory. It was clear from the beginning that it was going to be a great fit and the level of professionalism of both companies made for a smooth transaction,” said Shmueli.
