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.

Rohati Capital Welcomes Three New Operating Partners

By: Get News

Rohati Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm founded by former Amazon executives, has strengthened its leadership team with the addition of three Operating Partners: Max Bardon, Charles Elkan, and Kurt Zumwalt.

This development marks a significant milestone for Rohati Capital as it continues building momentum and expanding its ability to support portfolio companies with unmatched operating expertise. Each new Operating Partner brings a wealth of senior leadership experience, notably from their time at Amazon, where they held pivotal roles in fintech, artificial intelligence, and global finance.

Together, their addition reflects the company's strategy of pairing deep operating experience with investment expertise to create lasting value for entrepreneurs and investors alike.

A Powerful Combination of Expertise

Rohati Capital has had the privilege of working with Bardon, Elkan, and Zumwalt in the past, and their return as Operating Partners underscores the firm’s commitment to providing exceptional guidance to portfolio companies and fund GPs.

- Max Bardon led Amazon’s global financial services, including lending and worldwide payments. His deep fintech expertise is instrumental in helping the firm evaluate investments across financial technology, lending, and payment systems.

- Charles Elkan previously led the Core Machine Learning team at Amazon in Seattle, leading AI initiatives across the company. Charles brings a critical perspective to fund evaluation and also works directly with portfolio companies, advising them on AI strategy and investments.

- Kurt Zumwalt, Amazon’s former Treasurer, raised over $120 billion in debt for the company and now provides unparalleled mentorship to entrepreneurs navigating financing strategies.

This concentration of top tech industry talent gives Rohati Capital a unique advantage in sourcing, evaluating, and supporting investments. Their operating experience is already helping Rohati Capital secure better terms as trusted technical advisors.

Their collective experience not only elevates Rohati Capital’s strategic capabilities but also reinforces the firm’s long-term vision of combining operational excellence with investment discipline.
