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.

Global Partners Mourns the Loss of Board Chairman Richard Slifka

Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) announces with deep sadness the passing of Richard Slifka, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Partnership’s general partner, Global GP LLC. Mr. Slifka passed away on May 25, 2025, at the age of 85.

A steady and thoughtful presence, Richard helped shape Global over more than six decades, growing the foundation of the business alongside his brother, the late Alfred A. Slifka, and serving as a consistent voice of integrity and long-term thinking.

“Richard helped lay the foundation for what Global is today, working alongside my father with quiet strength and enduring values,” said Eric Slifka, President and CEO of Global Partners LP. “He brought diligence, consistency, and a sense of purpose to everything he did, always putting people and community at the center of his work. He will be deeply missed.”

Richard joined the company in 1963 and held various leadership and governance roles throughout his career, including Treasurer and Director of Global Companies LLC and President of Global Petroleum Corp. He was elected Vice Chairman of Global GP LLC in 2005 and became Chairman in 2014.

He also served as President of the Independent Fuel Terminal Operators Association, a past Director of the New England Fuel Institute, and brought valuable continuity to the board through his deep industry experience and institutional knowledge.

Beyond the business, Richard was the quiet force behind much of Global’s charitable work. He served on the board of directors of St. Francis House for over 20 years, the Board of Trustees of Boston Medical Center for 15 years, and a Director of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for over 40 years. His generosity and community spirit touched countless lives.

Richard is survived by his wife, Rosalyn; his children, Amy and her husband Jamie, Karen and her husband Jeffery, Andrew and his wife Jodi, 6 grandchildren; and a legacy of kindness, steady counsel, and enduring generosity.
