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.

BOSTON, Feb. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Risk Strategies, a leading national specialty insurance brokerage and risk management firm, today announced that it has acquired Ralph C. Wilson Agency, a full-service risk management and employee benefits consulting firm and insurance agency headquartered in Southfield, Michigan. Terms of the deal were not announced.

Founded in 1923 and one of the largest independent agencies in Michigan, Ralph C. Wilson Agency is licensed to operate in over 40 states nationally and offers a wide range of coverage expertise, from general and professional liability to property, cyber, and workers’ compensation insurance. Its industry expertise ranges from auto dealers and manufacturers to marinas, nonprofits, and veterinarians.

“Having a firm as storied and trusted as the Ralph C.

It’s a great fit for Risk Strategies.”

Founded as a family business, the agency was operated for many decades by Ralph C. Wilson Jr., perhaps best known nationally as the owner of the National Football League’s Buffalo Bills franchise. The Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation is an enduring legacy of Wilson and his commitment to supporting the quality of life of the people of Southeast Michigan and Western New York.

“In seeking a way to perpetuate this business that would best serve our people, clients, and the Wilson family’s values, we saw Risk Strategies as an ideal match,” said Bob Farris, President & CEO, Ralph C.

The acquisition of Ralph C. Wilson Agency is Risk Strategies first entry into Michigan and reflects deepening engagement in the Midwest.
