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.

RBC Bearings Announces Agreement to Acquire VACCO Industries from ESCO Technologies

  • VACCO provides highly engineered mission-critical components and subsystems to the space and naval defense channels
  • Customers and partners expected to benefit from the combined design, engineering and manufacturing expertise and broader integrated capabilities of both companies
  • Expands product breadth and capacity in two of RBC’s fastest growing channels

RBC Bearings Incorporated (NYSE: RBC), a prominent international manufacturer of highly engineered precision bearings, components and essential systems for the aerospace, defense and industrial industries, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire VACCO Industries from ESCO Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ESE) for $310 million in cash.

With headquarters in South El Monte, California, VACCO is a prominent manufacturer of valves, manifolds, regulators, filters, and other precision components and subsystems for the space and naval defense channels. The Company’s products are highly engineered mission-critical components, designed to perform seamlessly in extreme environments. For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2025, VACCO generated revenue of approximately $118 million. The business will be integrated into RBC's Aerospace and Defense segment upon closing of the deal.

“VACCO has a tremendous amount of design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities,” said Dr. Michael J. Hartnett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Combining VACCO’s expertise in highly engineered valves, regulators and manifolds with RBC’s broader portfolio will enable us to better serve the evolving needs of customers in the secularly growing space and naval submarine channels.”

The transaction is expected to close this summer, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The acquisition will be financed through additional borrowings under RBC’s existing credit agreement and cash on-hand.
