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.

ICR, the Leading SPAC Communications and Advisory Firm, Publishes its Yearend 2024 SPAC Market Update & Outlook

By: via Business Wire

The SPAC market had its best quarter since 2022, with serial sponsors driving the bulk of deal pricing and numerous additional filers expected

SPAC mergers are re-emerging as a pathway to the public markets, particularly for those companies that may not be ideal IPO candidates

ICR, a leading strategic communications and advisory firm, today released its Yearend 2024 SPAC Market Update & Outlook.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the SPAC IPO market saw the pricing of 23 IPOs, raising a total of $3.8 billion—the highest quarterly proceeds in the last two years. Approximately 70% of the new SPAC IPOs this quarter were serial SPAC issuers raising $2.8 billion. This surge in proceeds is attributed to an increase in the number of IPOs coupled with higher average deal sizes for serial sponsors, which reached $177 million this quarter.

“As we move into 2025, SPAC mergers are once again emerging as a viable pathway to the public markets, particularly for companies outside the traditional IPO mold,” said Don Duffy, President of ICR. “With the IPO market leaning toward larger issuers, SPACs are uniquely positioned to source deals from an extensive backlog or partner with smaller, growth-oriented companies seeking public market access. Additionally, the serial sponsor activity signals optimism for deal flow, supported by private equity and venture capital firms that will be looking for alternative liquidity options.”

“SPAC mergers still require financing packages that satisfy the capital requirements of the post-merger company,” said Niren Nazareth, Managing Director at ICR Capital. “Redemptions generally remained high in 4Q ‘24, and so structured financing solutions will likely continue as a critical component to bridge potential funding gaps and de-risk transactions.”

ICR is the largest communications consultant and advisor to SPACs, having worked on over 170 transactions since 2021. To obtain a copy of ICR’s Yearend SPAC Market Update & Outlook report, please click here.
