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 K Team, LLC Acquires J&E Business Group — Continuing a Tradition of Service to Local Business Owners

Kristi (Yodis) May, owner of The K Team, LLC and a business consultant with a passion for helping entrepreneurs streamline and grow their businesses, announced today that her firm has acquired J&E Business Group, a well-established business brokerage co-founded by industry veterans Harry Jefferies and Larry Etherton.

J&E Business Group has long guided business owners through confidential and successful transactions across numerous industries in the Mid-Atlantic region. Known for their dedication, integrity, and professionalism, Harry and Larry have earned consistent praise from clients and colleagues alike.

Kristi May is a seasoned business consultant and founder of The K Team, which partners with service-based businesses to streamline operations, sharpen marketing, and drive sustainable growth. A former Chief Operating Officer of GlobalLiving Companies and a licensed real estate agent, Kristi brings deep expertise in strategic marketing and operations. She and her team are passionate about equipping growth-minded entrepreneurs with the clarity and tools they need to build efficient, profitable businesses.

Through the acquisition of J&E Business Group, Kristi is expanding her mission: helping business owners not only grow and optimize, but also successfully transition when the time is right. She believes business ownership is one of the greatest opportunities of our time—and is committed to supporting entrepreneurs at every stage of the journey.

“I’m honored to continue the meaningful work that Harry and Larry have built,” said Kristi May. “The relationships, integrity, and reputation they’ve cultivated over the years is truly impressive. I’m excited to work alongside J&E associates and support even more business owners with enhanced marketing and strategic partnerships—ensuring this legacy continues and grows.”

Harry Jefferies shared, “We’ve always said we wanted to pass the business on to someone who could manage it with both competence and heart. Kristi brings brains, care for people, and the right personality to lead J&E into the future. We’re proud to have her take the reins.”

As part of the transition, the founders will stay on in advisory roles to ensure a smooth handoff and share the valuable insights and relationships they’ve developed over decades.

“Harry and Larry’s guidance and partnership are incredibly valuable,” Kristi added. “I deeply respect what they’ve built and am excited about the future we’ll shape together.”

This acquisition marks a new chapter for J&E—one focused on modernization and continuing the personal relationships that have defined the firm. With stronger systems, expanded marketing channels, and a deep commitment to business owners, J&E is well-positioned to support both growth-minded entrepreneurs and those preparing for a successful exit. Kristi’s real estate license also enables J&E to seamlessly support transactions involving commercial buildings or property tied to the business. Whether helping someone build their business or sell it, the mission remains the same: to serve with excellence, strategy, and care.
