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.

Entrata Receives $200 Million Investment from Blackstone

Entrata, a leading operating system for multifamily communities, today announced a $200 million minority investment from funds managed by Blackstone (“Blackstone”) at a $4.3 billion valuation. This investment comes as Entrata is moving forward on its next chapter of growth, serving the rental housing industry through innovative technology that streamlines operations for property managers and elevates the living experience for millions of residents.

“Over twelve million residents in properties across the largest property management portfolios in the world utilize the Entrata operating system,” said Adam Edmunds, CEO of Entrata. “This investment from Blackstone represents a powerful alignment of capital and expertise that will allow us to bring world-class technology to an expanded footprint of owners, operators and residents. We appreciate Blackstone’s partnership as we drive towards new levels of efficiency and expand the level of experience residents can expect across the rental housing ecosystem.”

Brian Dunlap, a Managing Director at Blackstone, said: “We are pleased to invest in Entrata as they continue to expand their technology solutions for the property management industry. We are excited about the opportunity to partner with Adam and his talented team as they drive continued innovation to help further improve the client and resident experience.”

Over the past two decades — and especially following a majority investment from Silver Lake in 2021 and further supported by Blackstone’s investment today — Entrata has emerged as a leader in property management technology, building a comprehensive operating system in rental housing.

Entrata’s suite of solutions offers a centralized platform for managing various aspects of a property, including accounting, purchasing, facilities, and leasing, among others. These offerings can efficiently handle tasks such as tracking work orders, managing finances, and processing online payments. Additionally, Entrata's resident portal fosters better communication and self-service options for residents, helping support increased satisfaction and loyalty. Entrata’s recent innovations include ELI+, a fully integrated platform that modernizes leasing, payments and renewals, and Homebody, a first-of-its-kind solution to cultivate resident engagement, retention and, with the addition of Homebody Rewards, loyalty.
