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.

ASGN Incorporated Announces Closing of the Acquisition of TopBloc

Shiv Iyer Officially Becomes President

ASGN Incorporated (NYSE: ASGN), a leading provider of IT services and professional solutions across the commercial and government sectors, announced today that it has closed its previously announced acquisition of TopBloc, LLC (“TopBloc” or “the Company”) for a total consideration of $340 million in cash and equity. TopBloc’s experienced team has become part of ASGN’s Consulting Services.

“We are pleased to announce the successful closing of our acquisition of TopBloc,” said ASGN’s Chief Executive Officer, Ted Hanson. “This acquisition is a significant step in our ongoing strategy to align with in-demand solutions and strong technology alliance partners, thereby extending their capabilities across ASGN’s deep customer base. As ERP platforms are crucial to managing financial and human capital information across enterprises, they’ve become even more essential with the expansion of GenAI use cases that rely on clean, auditable, and secure data. Acquiring TopBloc ideally positions ASGN to enhance our services and immediately capitalize on these emerging opportunities in the ERP and Workday marketplace.”

ASGN is also pleased to announce that Shiv Iyer has officially assumed the role of President, effective immediately. Iyer succeeds Rand Blazer, who has transitioned into the role of Executive Vice Chairman. Iyer brings extensive consulting experience to ASGN. Most recently, he led Accenture’s Consulting and Industry X solutions across the United States, Canada, and Latin America.

“Having gotten to know Shiv over the past few months, I am delighted to officially welcome him to ASGN as our new President,” said Hanson. “Shiv’s approach to serving enterprise accounts by bringing innovative solutions across a large account portfolio aligns perfectly with ASGN’s business philosophy. With Rand’s ongoing support on key strategic initiatives and Shiv’s proven track record, I am confident in a seamless leadership transition.”

In connection with the closing of the acquisition, ASGN is granting restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards to 41 key TopBloc employees covering approximately 150,000 shares today. These awards vest: (a) one-half on the second anniversary of the grant date, and (b) 25 percent on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Further, in connection with his hire, Mr. Iyer: (a) received an award of 44,162 RSUs on March 3, 2025, which vest in equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant, and (b) will receive a value of $2.875 million of performance-based RSUs when the Compensation Committee sets the target, which will vest on December 31, 2027, subject to certification of performance. All of the RSUs are subject to continued service through the vesting dates and are granted as employment inducement awards pursuant to the New York Stock Exchange rules.
