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.

SPAR Group Announces CEO Retirement and Executive Changes

SPAR Group today announced that Mike Matacunas, President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), will retire from the company in October 2025, after nearly five years of exceptional leadership in the role. William Linnane, SPAR Group’s Chief Strategy and Growth Officer, has been appointed President, effective immediately. In addition, Kori Belzer, Global Chief Operating Officer, is retiring and Ron Lutz, Global Chief Commercial Officer, will transition to an executive advisor to the company as of August 29, 2025.

"I am honored to step into the role of President at SPAR, continuing to drive key initiatives to help boost profitability and delight our clients," said Linnane. "Through a collaboration with the SPAR Group leadership team, employees and Board, we will keep growing the company and delivering outstanding results for our clients."

Matacunas joined SPAR Group in 2021 and led a multi-year transformation of the business. Under his leadership, SPAR Group strengthened its market position by exiting international joint ventures, doubling the U.S. and Canadian businesses, increasing profitability, accelerating digital innovation and expanding into new segments. Matacunas also led SPAR Group’s growth strategy, with a focus on attracting experienced retail and services professionals who will drive the long-term success of the company. As a result, the company is now on track to deliver against the largest new business pipeline in its 50-year history while maintaining relationships across some of the world’s best retail and brand companies.

"Under Mike's leadership, SPAR Group has been transformed. His vision and passion have set a high standard that will continue to guide the business for years to come," said James Gillis, Executive Chairman of the SPAR Group Board of Directors. "William is uniquely qualified to lead SPAR through this transition, bringing a blend of expertise in operations, innovation and digital transformation, which will create continuity and support SPAR’s next chapter."

Linnane joined SPAR in 2021 as a member of the company’s Executive Leadership Team and played a pivotal role in elevating the brand's U.S. and global perception. As Global Chief Strategy and Growth Officer, he helped bring new clients to the company and strengthen SPAR’s position as a leader in the merchandising and remodel services industries. Prior to joining SPAR, Linnane served in senior executive roles at Sears, Eason Retail and Tesco.

"I've worked closely with William over the past several years and witnessed firsthand his deep understanding of what it takes for a services business to grow and evolve. Combined with his steadfast commitment to SPAR and its clients, I'm confident William is the right leader to shepherd the company through this transition as we continue to enhance our position as a leading retail and brand services business," said Matacunas. "It has been a privilege to lead SPAR Group through a period of exciting change, and I am so proud of what the team has achieved together."
