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 Kosmos Q in its Sale to L2 Capital

Generational Group, a leading mergers and acquisitions advisory firm for privately held businesses, is pleased to announce the sale of its client Kosmos Q, LLC to L2 Capital. The closing was first announced on May 3, 2024.

Kosmos Q, located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, sells world champion barbecue rubs, injections, marinades, glazes, and wing dust via its Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) website in addition to Amazon sales, wholesale customers, such as Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware, Buc-ee’s, Scheels, and Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s, and a small retail storefront.

The Company was founded and led by President, Darian “Kosmo” Khosravi, who is an all-in-one champion pitmaster, savvy social media marketing guru, and overall barbecue superhero. Darian has retained a meaningful equity stake and will continue leading the business in partnership with L2 Capital.

Kosmos Q’s excellent industry reputation and ever-growing brand awareness has established it as the rising star BBQ brand in the country. BBQ connoisseurs, hobbyists, and home cooks have made Kosmos Q the go-to source for education, recipes, and of course BBQ rubs, injections, marinades and glazes, and everything BBQ in the grilling and barbecue community.

Headquartered in Devon, Pennsylvania, L2 Capital (L2) is a private equity firm accelerating breakthrough business growth for founders and investors alike. Because L2 sees companies in a way that no one else does, they are able to recognize potential where others may not, and they have an amazing track record with D2C investments.

The L2 team is always willing to roll up their sleeves and do whatever it takes to ensure success, and there’s no better partner to celebrate the wins or navigate rough waters with. Having a direct-ownership mentality, they go above and beyond every time.

Generational Group Executive Managing Director of M&A – Central Region, Michael Goss, with the support of Vice President, M&A, Lance Thomasson closed the deal. Managing Director of Strategic Accounts, Suzanne Harp established the initial relationship with Kosmos Q.

“Darian has built such an amazing business with Kosmos Q, and from the beginning developed the product name and reputation as a D2C business, such that the large wholesale/retail players are excited to add any number of Kosmos Q SKUs to their shelves,” said Goss.

Goss added, “Darian and L2 Capital had an immediate rapport and vision to partner together and accelerate Kosmos Q’s expansion to more retail shelves, and to continue to drive expansionary D2C growth via additional digital marketing campaign strategies, and together they will share a tremendous amount of success going forward.”
