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.

StepStone Group Partners with Aviva to Broaden Access to Private Markets for UK Pension Savers

  • My Future Vision’s strategy will allocate 20–25% to private markets, supporting the government’s call for DC funds to boost UK private market investment
  • This collaborative approach will allow UK retirement savers to benefit from the combination of Aviva's DC capabilities and StepStone's $723 billion global platform, ensuring differentiated access to attractive private markets opportunities globally

StepStone Group (Nasdaq: STEP), a global private markets investment firm, announced today it is partnering with Aviva to offer its UK trust-based pension schemes, institutional-grade access to global private markets through Aviva’s newly launched My Future Vision default strategy.

As one of five specialist managers selected by Aviva to help deliver this innovative new solution, StepStone will bring its panoramic view of private markets deal flow, differentiated access to high-quality managers, and long-standing investment expertise to millions of UK retirement savers.

My Future Vision represents a major step forward in defined contribution (“DC”) investing. By tailoring allocations to savers’ stage of life, the strategy aims to balance growth in early years with stability and income closer to retirement. The strategy also supports the UK Mansion House Compact and Accord, helping to channel more long-term capital into unlisted equities and private markets with the aim of diversifying and improving retirement outcomes.

“We founded StepStone Private Wealth Solutions to provide private markets access to different profiles of investors and a broader range of pension savers. Partnering with Aviva allows us to extend that mission and we're confident this has the potential to enhance long-term outcomes for UK retirement savers,” said Jason Ment, President and Co-Chief Operating Officer, StepStone Group.

“Aviva’s new My Future Vision solution demonstrates the growing importance of private markets in the UK pensions landscape. We’re proud to partner on this initiative and to bring StepStone’s scale, insights, and global relationships to UK retirement savers. For advisors, trustees and employers, this marks a significant step forward in how private markets can be accessed in a transparent and scalable way,” said Nick Gardner, Managing Director, UK Distribution, StepStone Group.

StepStone continues to build on its momentum following the rapid growth of its private wealth business, driven by demand for evergreen funds and new solutions globally.
