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.

Kontoor Brands, Inc. (NYSE: KTB), a global lifestyle apparel company, with a portfolio led by two of the world’s most iconic consumer brands, Wrangler® and Lee®, today announced the appointment of Tom Waldron as Chief Operating Officer, effective March 19, 2024.

“We are further advancing our operating model in conjunction with Project Jeanius to simplify our organization and increase speed and efficiency,” said Scott Baxter, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of Kontoor Brands. “As the next step, I am pleased to announce that Tom Waldron has been appointed to the position of Chief Operating Officer of Kontoor Brands.

As Chief Operating Officer, Waldron will assume responsibility for both Wrangler and Lee globally. In addition, Waldron will maintain oversight of the company’s global supply chain operations.

“Tom is an exceptionally talented business leader who has led Wrangler’s return to growth and strong profitability, while guiding our business through an uncertain global operating environment,” said Baxter. “I have great confidence that his 30 years of experience and incredible passion for our business will help accelerate growth and successfully drive our brands going forward.”

“It continues to be a privilege to work with Scott and our incredible global workforce to shape the next chapter of Kontoor’s value-creation journey,” said Waldron. “I look forward to expanding my responsibilities within the organization to facilitate improved operating efficiency and position our business for future growth.”

As Kontoor embarks on this multi-year transformation initiative, Jenni Broyles has been appointed to the position of EVP, Global Brands President, Wrangler & Lee. Additionally, Ezio Garciamendez has been appointed to the position of EVP, Chief Supply Chain Officer. As members of the Executive Leadership Team, Broyles and Garciamendez will report to Tom Waldron.

Broyles served as SVP, Wrangler since 2022 where she strengthened the Wrangler business as North American General Manager, while also having leadership accountability for category and channel expansion, design and marketing. Broyles has held various roles of increasing responsibility in brand management, marketing and merchandising for both Wrangler and Lee since joining the organization in 2005.

Garciamendez, who joined Kontoor Brands in 2022 as SVP, Chief Supply Chain Officer, has been instrumental in enhancing efficiencies and simplifying processes across Kontoor’s supply chain, including global sourcing and internal manufacturing. Prior to joining Kontoor, Garciamendez served as Global Operations SVP at Melaleuca as well as leadership positions at Procter & Gamble.

“I'm thrilled to have incredible leaders like Jenni and Ezio take on expanded roles as we partner together to transform the business for the future,” said Waldron. “Together, we will work to drive greater efficiency in the business while continuing to position our brands and our business to win.”

Christopher Waldeck, previously EVP, Co-Chief Operating Officer, Global Brand President – Lee, will be stepping down from his role but will stay on with Kontoor through June in order to ensure a smooth transition to the new operating structure.

“We want to thank Chris for his contributions over the past five years and wish him success in the future,” said Baxter.
