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.

The financing will allow the company to expand its workforce of 215 employees by adding 50 new positions, supporting ongoing growth and innovation. It will also provide critical working capital, enabling the company to significantly enhance operational efficiency at its 330,000-square-foot facility in Windsor.

"The InvestCT program continues to be a catalyst for business growth in Connecticut," said State Representative Jane Garibay. "This investment in Specialty Printing demonstrates how strategic capital deployment can help companies thrive, create jobs, and contribute to our local economy. I am proud to support initiatives like this that reinforce Connecticut’s position as a hub for manufacturing innovation."

As a family-owned manufacturer specializing in high-quality labeling solutions, Specialty Printing plays a vital role in industries like grocery, medical, and logistics. Its recent expansion has strategically positioned it for accelerated growth. Advantage Capital’s investment will help streamline operations, enabling the company to capture new business opportunities and realize further efficiency gains.
