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.

The Arena Group Accuses Sports Illustrated Owner, ABG, of Theft

Arena seeks $200 million for stealing its crown jewel proprietary code technology

The Arena Group (NYSE American: AREN), has filed a lawsuit against ABG, who own the rights to Sports Illustrated, and against Minute Media, for theft of Arena’s technology.

The lawsuit highlights how ABG conspired to steal the crown jewel of Arena’s business – the proprietary code technology and trade secrets comprising the valuable internet platform Arena developed at a significant expense.

“These guys stole our most valuable property, our digital platform code, and then left a clear trail for anyone to follow… not too bright,” said Arena’s President and largest shareholder, Manoj Bhargava. “They are like the Wet Bandits from Home Alone!”

The suit showcases that ABG enlisted business leaders from top tier investment firms – including CVC Capital Partners (“CVC”) and BlackRock – to help steal proprietary technology and business from Arena, working with ABG’s new licensee, Minute, to orchestrate a multi-step corporate heist.

"I am genuinely surprised that BlackRock and CVC would participate in such unethical behavior,” said Bhargava. “It is alarming to see organizations that claim to uphold the highest ethical standards involved in such questionable conduct.

“Given the revelations about Jamie Salter's business practices, it is perplexing that BlackRock and CVC have not yet called for a leadership change at Authentic Brands Group (ABG).

“BlackRock and CVC's response to this situation will speak volumes about their commitment to ethical governance,” said Bhargava.

Arena also notes that ABG has a history of monopolistic and predatory licensing behavior. The lawsuit highlights how Arena is “just the latest licensee to fall victim to ABG’s extensive and public history of strip-mining its license partners, imposing steep guaranteed royalties and termination fees that award ABG a windfall.” Another company, 888 Holdings, was forced to terminate its unprofitable joint venture with ABG earlier this year, triggering an oppressive $50 million termination fee.

Arena strongly believes that ABG’s theft and predatory practices, along with those of their accomplice Minute, who greatly benefited from Arena’s years of research, development, and implementation, will be made clear in a court of law.

Arena seeks $200 million in damages. The case is pending in federal court in the Southern District of New York.
