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 Creative Dimensions in its Sale to Pinnacle

Generational Group, a leading mergers and acquisitions advisor for privately held businesses, is pleased to announce the sale of its client Creative Dimensions, Inc. to Pinnacle. The acquisition closed January 12, 2024.

Founded in 1987 and located in Cheshire, Connecticut, Creative Dimensions, Inc. (CDI) solves one of the biggest marketing problems for businesses, professional sports teams, and universities - creating a physical presence for branding while also creating a memorable experience.

Whether it's a trade show booth, an ESPN-style studio, or a sports history wall at a university, when CDI builds anything for customers, the Company is interested in only one response, "WOW!". CDI is in the continual pursuit of getting a "WOW" for customers, and believes every organization, when creating a physical presence for its brand, should strive for greatness.

Pinnacle, headquartered in Hillsboro, Oregon (with multiple locations throughout the U.S.) is a leading experiential marketing company. Pinnacle creates memorable experiences for top brands around the world through activations, exhibits, environments, and events.

CDI’s world-class team joins Pinnacle at a time when brands, sports leagues, networks, universities and other content owners and creators are investing in fan and consumer engagement spaces.

“Pinnacle has twenty-five-plus years of experience in sports and entertainment marketing, including longtime activations at Super Bowl, MLB All-Star and a growing footprint in university esports programs,” said Brad Hogan, CEO of Pinnacle. “This move strengthens our strategic focus on helping clients activate at the intersection of marketing, culture and branded content.”

CDI works with a veritable who’s who of top names in sports including the Dallas Cowboys, MLB Network, YES Network, Baltimore Ravens, USGA and many others. The company has also produced installations, exhibits and trade shows for brands such as IKEA, Dairy Queen, United Technologies, U.S. Open, PepsiCo and more.

“This is a natural evolution in Creative Dimensions’ progression of serving brands in and out of sports and entertainment,” said Joel Roy, President of Creative Dimensions, who will transition to the role of Hartford Division President at Pinnacle. “Joining Pinnacle, as their sixth location nationwide, allows our team to expand our reach from coast-to-coast and offer our clients a host of additional experiential capabilities.”

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 Vice President, M&A, Aaron Presley successfully closed the transaction. Senior Managing Director Ashok Tandon established the initial relationship with CDI.

"Joel Roy was committed to finding an acquiror that would carry on the culture and create opportunities for the future success of the employees. Everyone is excited for the next phase of growth,” said Shmueli.
