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.

Why Investors Are Listening When Barak Diskin Talks

The investor world is often driven by fast money, short-term gains, and flashy personalities, and this is what makes Barak Diskin a refreshing outlier. Through knowledge, skills, and a steady approach, he quietly commands attention not with spectacle, but with substance. It is his consistent approach that has made Diskin a name investors lean into. Though he does not attract the spotlight, his track record and steady conviction speak volumes and this is why when Barak Diskin talks people not only listen but more importantly, they trust.

A Mind Built for Strategy, A Heart Built for People

Barak Diskin’s reputation wasn’t built overnight. It was the product of years of dedication, strategic foresight, and, perhaps most significantly, a deep-rooted commitment to listening and learning from others. Even though he is known as being an extremely savvy businessman, his reputation is every bit renowned for a calm, thoughtful presence — someone who does their homework, understands the broader context, and never loses sight of the human element behind the numbers. “Yes, the hard data is important in any business, but they are just as much about the people who run them as they are about the numbers”, says Diskin.

Unlike many of his contemporaries who are all pitch and no depth, Diskin speaks in measured and thoughtful terms. He doesn’t overpromise. He doesn’t exaggerate. Yet when he has an idea, shares his vision, speaks of a new venture, identifies a strategic shift, or an emerging trend — it’s usually worth listening to. And more often than not, he’s proven right.

A Reputation for Quiet Wins

Investors, especially seasoned ones, are drawn to patterns, as consistency is a valued commodity. And one pattern that keeps showing up across the landscape of successful ventures is that Barak Diskin is often behind them. From tech-adjacent operations to logistics and real estate innovation, Diskin has had a hand in companies that not only disrupt but endure. 

His work behind the scenes at CloudKitchens, for example, helped shape a model that capitalized on the rise of food delivery while streamlining the inefficiencies in traditional restaurant infrastructure. It wasn’t just innovation for the sake of novelty — it was smart, practical, and scalable. “My goal has never been to just find a quick return on investment, but to build brands that last. I always found more satisfaction in sustainability than in fast turnarounds”, he states.

The “Listener-Leader” Approach

Too many entrepreneurs like to be the sage on the stage, but that often leaves gaps in their understanding of not only the market, but those willing to invest in an idea. One of the qualities that makes Barak Diskin stand out to investors is his ability to listen — truly listen. In a culture that often rewards the loudest voice in the room, Diskin has made a habit of asking thoughtful questions, absorbing different perspectives, and integrating diverse ideas into a clear, focused direction. “I believe that so many entrepreneurs miss out on not listening to investors. They get so caught up in their own ideas that they lose a lot of valuable information on the other end.”

Former colleagues often recall how Diskin never rushed to speak first in meetings. Instead, he’d let the room express itself, ask a thoughtful question or two, and then deliver a concise insight that often reframed the entire discussion. This reflective leadership style is both endearing and effective. It builds trust–something that is as valuable as gold in the investment world. 


He Builds Companies Through Consistency

What investors value most about Barak Diskin is not just his instinct for opportunity, but his consistency. Too many times, people find themselves placing money into ventures that rarely go as planned. This is often the result of not putting in the homework. However, in the tech industry, one which is prone to over-corrections, panic, and volatility, Diskin provides something rare: steadiness. When market sentiment dips or news cycles spin out of control, There is no sense of panic as Diskin doesn’t flinch. Instead, he reviews the fundamentals, checks the pulse of the operation, and calmly adjusts course. In turn, this kind of leadership protects investments and inspires confidence.

More importantly, his uncanny ability to see potential where others don’t, instills trust, not only because he doesn't take wild bets, but because those who invest with him know Diskin will look deeper than the rest. He has a gift for identifying untapped value — whether that’s in overlooked market segments, underutilized assets, or even unrecognized talent. “I guess I just don’t like to leave any stone unturned”, he says. To Diskin, opportunity is never about hype. It’s about clarity, alignment, and execution.

Human-Centered Capitalism

Another reason investors are drawn to Barak Diskin is his overall vision of seeing his companies as a force for good. In every venture, he considers not just the financial upside, but the human impact. He asks the kinds of questions that too often get left out of pitch decks: How will this affect local communities? Will this create meaningful jobs? What long-term impact will this have on the people it touches?

His goal is not just to build a business but rather to create mutually beneficial ecosystems. This emphasis on long-term, sustainable value creation resonates deeply with a new generation of investors who care about more than quarterly earnings. “You can create a business that focuses on short-term gains, however, if you focus on building something that has mutual benefits to all parties involved, you will create a business that lasts”, says Diskin. This philosophy demonstrates that you can be successful without being exploitative, a message that is gaining more traction than ever.

Mentorship in Motion

You would think someone with the track record of Diskin would want to keep his trade secrets to himself. Yet those who’ve worked under or alongside him say he’s as much a mentor as a strategist. He takes time to develop people, not just projects. Whether he’s advising a young founder on their first capital raise or helping a team navigate a tough pivot, Diskin leads with empathy and clarity.

One investor recently said, “Barak doesn’t just grow businesses — he grows people.” That statement encapsulates what makes him such a compelling figure in modern entrepreneurship: he values the journey as much as the destination.

Vision Grounded in Reality

It is not unusual to see entrepreneurs conjure up grand visions that have little basis in reality. Yet, Diskin’s ideas aren’t pie-in-the-sky dreams. Certainly they’re bold and have impressive vision — but they’re grounded in data and facts that make sense. His projections are not simply based on what he thinks is a good idea, but rather start with a solid understanding of the present. He digs into data, gets close to the customer experience, and understands the operations from the ground up. When Diskin brings an idea to his potential Investors, they know that it’s already been rigorously vetted.

He also possesses the rare ability to balance optimism with realism. He doesn’t chase trends — he assesses them. He’s not swayed by noise — he looks for signals. That discernment is what sets his voice apart in a crowded market.

A Name That Commands Quiet Confidence

Ultimately, what makes Barak Diskin so different to investors is that he tries to focus on well-researched projected results, not to simply try to command attention. He doesn’t need or want the spotlight. Diskin stands-out because he always prioritizes substance over spectacle.

When Barak Diskin talks, it’s not because he wants to be heard. It’s because he has something worth saying. And in today’s economy — where discernment, integrity, and clarity are more valuable than ever — that’s exactly the kind of voice the investment world needs more of.
