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.

Wealthtech Trailblazer Orion Unveils Modern Visual Identity to Match Its Strong Market Momentum

Brand refresh also includes a unified advisor experience for selecting investment solutions and tailoring portfolios with expanded due diligence of third-party strategists

Orion announced today a refreshed visual identity that reflects the company’s innovation, momentum, and commitment to advisor success. The updated branding comes on the heels of a landmark year for Orion, as the firm surpassed $5 trillion in platform assets and the advisors and firms using its wealthtech solutions grew faster, both organically1 and through M&A2, than their industry peers. In tandem with the new look, Orion introduced a unified investment framework designed to streamline how advisors evaluate and implement investment strategies.

Designed for What’s Next: Orion’s New Brand Identity

Orion’s modernized brand is built to reflect its forward momentum and the evolving needs of the advisors and firms it serves. The updated visual identity includes a refined logo, bold new design language, and a cohesive brand system spanning Orion’s full platform, including refreshed identities for Redtail and Brinker.

“Our new brand identity is more than just a new look — it’s a reflection of who we are today and where we’re going,” said Betsy Perez, Chief Marketing Officer at Orion. “The star in our logo is a nod to Orion’s celestial namesake and to the advisors we serve — our true north. They’re building the future of wealth management, and our platform is the engine behind their growth. As advisor needs evolve, we’re evolving too — delivering the unified, flexible ecosystem they rely on to scale, stand out, and make a bigger impact for the investors they serve.”

Powering Scalable Personalization Through a Unified Investment Experience

Serving as a centralized guide for portfolio construction, the unified investment framework simplifies strategy selection, reduces time to implement book conversions, and supports broader client needs through an expanded due diligence process and wider strategist coverage.

Anchored in the principle of Institutional Investing, Individual Solutions, Orion’s outcome-oriented framework helps advisors align portfolios to client goals through three investment categories:

  • Grow: Capital appreciation strategies spanning domestic and international equities with higher volatility
  • Earn: Income-focused strategies with lower volatility, centered on core fixed income
  • Diversify: Non-correlated assets, including global credit, alternatives, and real assets

The platform encompasses all major asset classes and investment vehicles — from SMAs and ETFs to mutual funds and models — across active, beta, fundamental, and quantitative approaches. Advisors can personalize portfolios more efficiently, supported by Orion’s integration of behavioral finance, risk analytics, and tax-efficient model construction.

“Advisors today are navigating a more complex investment landscape — and clients expect more than one-size-fits-all solutions,” said Tim Holland, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at Orion. ��Our unified investment framework gives advisors a powerful way to translate that complexity into clarity. By integrating behavioral finance, risk management, and tax-aware strategies into a flexible, goal-based structure, we’re enabling advisors to deliver deeply personalized portfolios at scale that are aligned not just to performance targets, but to the values, needs, and emotional drivers of each investor they serve.”

As part of this evolution, Orion is retiring the “Communities” name and transitioning to the more descriptive “Orion Investment Portal”. The new name better reflects the offering’s purpose: streamlined access to a broad range of investment solutions — including Orion Custom Indexing, Orion Fixed Income, and the reimagined Orion Model Marketplace, which enables advisors to access third-party models through Orion’s integrated trading and portfolio management tools. This change also supports Orion’s broader effort to simplify and unify the advisor experience across its platform.
