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.

Orion Clients Grew Faster Than Peers in 2024 and Utilized More of Their Tech Stack, Cementing Firm’s Leadership as It Rockets Beyond $5 Trillion Asset Milestone

Wealthtech leader accelerates advisor growth through scalable technology, flexible ecosystem

Orion, a premier provider of transformative wealthtech solutions powering the growth of financial advisors and the enterprise firms that serve them, today announced two major growth milestones: surpassing both $5 trillion in assets under administration and $100 billion in wealth management platform assets.

Fueled by advisor-driven growth, Orion has seen an over 15% year-over-year increase in technology accounts for three consecutive years. Today, the firm supports more than 7.5 million technology accounts, 326,000 wealth management accounts, and 25,000 firms. Orion now services $5.2 trillion in assets under administration (a 35% increase since 2023) and manages $102.7 billion in wealth management platform assets as of June 30, 2025.

“Achieving these milestones reflects Orion’s accelerating momentum as the growth partner of choice for RIAs, enterprises, and hybrid firms across all advisory models,” said Natalie Wolfsen, CEO of Orion.

Underscoring the drivers behind this growth, Orion also shared insights from its 2025 Advisor Growth Survey. The survey reveals that in 2024, Orion clients achieved an organic asset growth rate that was nearly 10% higher than that of non-Orion clients.1 Separately, an Orion analysis of Fidelity data shows that Orion clients led deals representing 75% of 2024 M&A activity in the wealth management space, based on assets.2 These findings underscore Orion’s role as the growth partner of choice for RIAs, enterprises, and hybrid firms across all advisory models.

“Our clients are among the most forward-thinking and growth-oriented firms in the industry,” said Wolfsen. “They’re achieving exceptional results by combining their own strategic vision with the right partners and tools. Orion is proud to be a key partner – serving as a force multiplier that helps advisors scale more efficiently, deepen client relationships, and unlock new opportunities through connected technology and expert support. Their success is our north star.”

  • 17 of the top 20 Barron’s RIA firms and 6 of the top 7 mega RIAs rely on Orion.3
  • Nearly one-third of RIAs over $1 billion AUM partner with Orion.4
  • On average, Orion clients utilize 10% more of their tech stack compared to their peers.5
