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.

Generational Group Surpasses 1,700 Successful Transactions

Generational Group, a leading investment banking firm serving privately held businesses, is proud to announce the successful completion of its 1,700th M&A transaction, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s continued growth and leadership in the middle market.

This achievement follows a record-breaking start to 2025, with 50 successful deal closings in the first quarter. This milestone underscores the firm’s unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional results for its clients.

Generational’s investment banking leadership is clearly reflected industry rankings compiled by LSEG (formerly Refinitiv), where the firm has placed first or second in number of deals closed across transaction sizes from $25 million to $1 billion over the past four years

“Reaching 1,700 transactions is a tremendous achievement,” said Brenen Hofstadter, Chief M&A Officer at Generational. “It reflects our team's relentless dedication to our clients and the care we bring to every engagement. I'm incredibly proud of the results we’ve delivered — and excited for what’s ahead.”

Ryan Binkley, President and CEO of Generational, added, “This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the passion and excellence of our team. I’m especially grateful to our clients for trusting us with their life’s work. Helping business owners achieve their goals and protect their legacy is what drives us every day.”

As Generational looks to the year ahead, the firm remains committed to delivering strategic outcomes for privately held businesses across North America and is well-positioned to lead in what is expected to be a highly active M&A environment.
