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.

Stellar Cyber’s Jim O’Hara and Andrew Homer Named to 2025 CRN® Channel Chiefs List

The Channel Company Recognizes Key Executives for Outstanding Leadership

Stellar Cyber Chief Revenue Officer Jim O’Hara and VP of Strategic Alliances Andrew Homer both have been named to the prestigious 2025 CRN® Channel Chiefs list. CRN produces the Channel Chiefs list to showcase the top leaders throughout the IT channel ecosystem who work tirelessly with their partners and customers to ensure mutual success. The list recognizes IT vendor and distribution executives who drive strategy and set the channel agenda for their companies and the industry.

“This year’s honorees exemplify dedication, innovation, and leadership that supports solution provider success and fosters growth across the channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “Each of these exceptional leaders has made a lasting channel impact by championing partnerships and designing creative strategies that get results. They’ve set a high bar in the channel, and we’re thrilled to recognize their standout achievements.”

“It’s an honor to be named to the Channel Chiefs list for 2025,” said Jim O’Hara, Chief Revenue Officer at Stellar Cyber. “We employ a ‘partner first’ model with our global partner ecosystem and drive 100% of our business through our various partner channels – it’s in our DNA.”

Stellar Cyber’s new cyber insurance program, RiskShield, leverages the company’s MITRE ATT&CK-aligned coverage analyzer app, which helps assess the cybersecurity maturity of MSP partners’ clients, and in turn helps insurance carriers offer discounted rates.

“Discounted premiums are passed on to end customers,” added O’Hara. “Our partners earn additional margin as well, while providing unique value add and building stickier customer relationships.”

Stellar Cyber’s unique channel strategy empowers hundreds of MSSPs globally to expand their markets and serve thousands of new customers. As a result, fully one-third of the world’s largest MSSPs partner with Stellar Cyber to power their managed security services.

“In the past year, we doubled our global partner base and launched a new SOC Analyst certification program to ensure that our partners are well informed on cybersecurity best practices,” said Andrew Homer, VP of Strategic Alliances at Stellar Cyber.

“We won over major brands, convincing them that our core technology is essential,” said Homer. “Against the odds, I secured recognition and visibility of our brand, and Oracle has identified us as their go-to cybersecurity partner.”

CRN’s 2025 Channel Chiefs list will be featured in the February 2025 print issue of CRN® Magazine and online beginning today at www.CRN.com/ChannelChiefs.
