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.

Cornerstone Building Brands to Acquire Mueller Supply Company and Meaningfully Strengthen Its Position in Residential Metal Roofing

By: via Business Wire

Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc. ("Cornerstone Building Brands"), a leading manufacturer of exterior building products in North America, has reached an agreement to acquire Mueller Supply Company, Inc. (“Mueller”), a leading manufacturer of residential metal roofing and components and steel buildings in Texas and the Southwest. Headquartered in Ballinger, Texas, where it was founded more than 90 years ago, Mueller has approximately 900 employees and a comprehensive regional footprint including 38 retail branches, as well as five high-quality, strategically located manufacturing sites in Amarillo, Ballinger and Huntsville, Texas; Oak Grove, Louisiana; and Phoenix, Arizona.

This strategic acquisition further increases Cornerstone Buildings Brands’ exposure to the high growth residential metal roofing market in key geographies. It adds greater greenfield growth capabilities, which will further accelerate the company’s organic growth strategy.

“We have long-admired Mueller’s successful expansion strategy, industry expertise and strong customer reputation,” said Rose Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cornerstone Building Brands. “Mueller is a compelling, strategic complement to our retail-direct metal roofing business and will more than double the number of retail branches we have to serve our customers. With the expanded manufacturing capacity we’ll have across the Southwest and the greenfield growth opportunities, I’m confident that this will advance Cornerstone Building Brands’ journey to be a premier exterior building products company. I look forward to welcoming the highly talented Mueller team and uniting the legacy expertise of both companies.”

Cornerstone Building Brands expects the transaction to be accretive to earnings through purchasing synergies and revenue growth opportunities. Additionally, Cornerstone Building Brands expects to finance the transaction with cash on hand and amounts borrowed under its existing credit facilities. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2024.
