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.

Cohere Capital Announces Close of Fund II and Strategic Partnership with TPG

By: via Business Wire

Cohere Capital Partners (“Cohere”), a Boston-based private equity firm focused on investing in leading tech-enabled lower middle market companies, announced today that it has closed Cohere Capital Fund II with more than $215 million in commitments. The firm has also received a strategic minority investment from TPG NEXT, TPG’s strategy focused on seeding and scaling the next generation of investment firms.

Through decades of lower middle market investing experience and a distinct, value- and growth-oriented approach, Cohere seeks to partner with innovative tech-enabled services businesses to help them reach their next level of success. Cohere was co-founded by Nik Shah and Daniel Gedney, two experienced private equity executives who worked together for years with a similar investment focus before launching the firm in 2019 and closing Cohere Capital Fund I in 2020.

“Our more than 50 years of combined investing experience in the middle market has provided us a unique view into the opportunities and challenges that come with building a leading technology-enabled services business. With Cohere, we’re applying this knowledge to help founders and management teams achieve sustainable and lasting growth,” said Mr. Shah, Managing Partner. “We’re grateful for the strong support of our investors and new partners at TPG, whose trust in our strategy and firm is a testament to the significant opportunity ahead.”

Cohere supports a dynamic portfolio of leading companies across the IT services, cloud consulting, digital advertising and marketing, e-commerce, and consumer engagement and loyalty services sectors. In Fund II, Cohere will continue to invest across these markets and others, seeking to partner with leading founder- and management-owned businesses looking for a capital partner to help drive success and growth.

“Cohere’s targeted investment strategy, partnership orientation, and focus on embracing complexity has positioned the firm as a differentiated lower middle market investor,” said Pamela Pavkov, Managing Partner of TPG NEXT. “We are excited to partner with the Cohere team to scale the platform and build upon the firm’s track record of identifying and growing next-generation founder-led businesses.”

Launched through an anchor commitment from CalPERS, TPG NEXT provides strategic minority capital and custom operational support to help emerging managers establish and grow their firms. Through its partnership with TPG NEXT, Cohere will gain access to TPG’s network, operational and investment capabilities, and ecosystem to support strategic business building and expansion, including in areas such as capital formation, investment sourcing, and diligence.
