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.

Generational Equity Wins Big at the 16th Annual Americas M&A Atlas Awards

Generational Group, a leading investment banking firm for privately held businesses, is pleased to announce that it has won numerous honors at the 2024 Global M&A Network Americas Atlas Awards.

Global M&A Network recognized the achievements of successful dealmakers, outstanding firms, and the best value-creating transactions during the 16th Annual Americas M&A Atlas Awards gala celebrations.

Generational Equity was honored with the following awards:

  • U.S.A. Investment Bank of the Year
  • Americas Private Equity Deal of the Year: RP Foods recap investment by Benford Capital Partners.

    Presented to Deal Team WINNER, Don Ho: Generational Equity acted as an exclusive financial advisor to RP Foods, a leading branded, private label, and B2B Hispanic food and beverage products company selling to retail and CPG food customers across the United States and internationally.
  • Americas HR & Services Deal of the Year: Canadian Payroll Services (CPS) sale to Vensure Employer Solutions.

    Presented to Deal Team WINNER, Mike Hammer: Generational Equity is a trusted partner for international businesses seeking to navigate the complexities of hiring and managing talent in Canada.

All winners were recognized at the 16th Annual Americas M&A Atlas Awards Gala Ceremony, hosted by the Global M&A Network, on February 6, 2025, at the Metropolitan Club in New York.

Generational’s Senior Managing Director, M&A Don Ho led the team that closed the RP Foods transaction, which took the honor of Private Equity Deal of the Year.

Mr. Ho stated: “We believe that with Benford Capital Partners’ knowledge, synergy, and resources, RP Foods will be able to further accelerate growth, better serve its customers, and create more opportunities for its staff and strategic relationships. Though we had a tremendous number of investors wanting to partner with RP Foods given our comprehensive M&A process, we knew Benford Capital was the right choice as they shared the same values, ethics, and culture as RP Foods.”

Generational’s Senior Managing Director, M&A Mike Hammer led the team that closed the Canadian Payroll Services (CPS) transaction, which took the honor of HR & Services Deal of the Year.

Since 2004, Vensure Employer Solutions has been a premier provider of HR services and technology for small and medium-sized businesses, maintaining a leading position in the industry.

Its presence in Canada marks a significant step in expanding its expertise and proven track record to businesses across North America.

“It’s exciting and very gratifying to see these outstanding deal makers recognized by the Global M&A Network,” said Brenen Hofstadter, Generational’s Chief M&A Officer. “The quality leadership they provide to their respective teams and their commitment to our clients is what makes all the difference—and what makes our team really special.”

Ryan Binkley, President and CEO of Generational, stated, “Don and Mike epitomize what we see every day from our entire team—selfless dedication to our Core Values and serving our clients with excellence. I could not be more proud of the associates that worked on these deals.”

Binkley added, “To have our firm recognized as the USA Investment Bank of the Year is quite an honor and a testament to the diligence and commitment of all of our teams. To be seen as one of the leaders in this competitive field is a great tribute.”
