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.

ServiceTitan Announces Strategic Partnership With Cobalt Service Partners

LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ServiceTitan (Nasdaq: TTAN), the software platform that powers the trades, today announced a strategic partnership with Cobalt Service Partners, an access solutions platform dedicated to the commercial industry, and backed by Alpine Investors. In just over a year, Cobalt has rapidly grown to 12 market-leading brands, including Industrial Door Company, Homeland Safety Systems, and Digi Security. By harnessing ServiceTitan’s leading business management platform for the trades, Cobalt is giving their fast-growing portfolio of commercial contractors the technology they need to achieve profitable and consistent long-term growth.

"ServiceTitan is purpose-built to meet the needs of the commercial contracting industry, empowering contractors to maximize profitability and drive business growth,” said Connor Theilmann, Chief Business Officer at ServiceTitan. “For many years our team has been investing heavily in building the technology that platforms like Cobalt need to ensure their portfolio of commercial businesses are wildly successful. Joining forces with Cobalt gives ServiceTitan the opportunity to maximize the performance of their portfolio by giving them the tools to increase efficiency, offer superior customer service, and ensure sustainable growth for years and decades to come.”

"Our strategy at Cobalt is simple, but powerful. We partner with exceptional commercial access and security businesses, and provide them with best-in-class tools, processes, and playbooks to manage their business as they scale,” said Tyler Hoffman, Co-CEO at Cobalt Service Partners. “We see enormous potential in this market, and strongly believe in the power of technology to help our operators realize their full potential. ServiceTitan is at the heart of this effort, giving us the premier software to maximize our growth, streamline operations, optimize project management, and create a more connected experience across all our locations."

Cobalt was launched by Alpine Investors in 2023 by Co-CEOs Tyler Hoffman and Anthony Gonzalez. Previously, Hoffman served as CEO of Radicle Health, an Alpine software business that completed eight acquisitions during Tyler’s tenure. Gonzalez served in the United States Congress from 2019 to 2023, played wide receiver in the NFL, and has previously worked as Chief Operating Officer at InformedK12, an EdTech startup, and led sales at Beneco, an Alpine portfolio company.

Alpine Investors has a strong track record of building successful platforms in the field services industry and has partnered with many of ServiceTitan’s enterprise customers, including Apex Service Partners, Vertex Service Partners, and SunWorks Landscape Partners. Through this new partnership, Cobalt will be leveraging the full power of ServiceTitan’s technology suite for the commercial industry, including:

  • Property intelligence powered by Convex to find and win new business by identifying the area's best, high-intent commercial prospects for outreach and engagement.
  • Project management and real-time costing across every phase of work and AI-powered profit predictors to improve bottom lines and drive long-term profitable growth.

  • Estimate creation + quote management capabilities to create, track, and close in-field or in-office estimates from templates, spreadsheets, or manual inputs to win more work.
  • Inventory management and accounting that automates day-to-day operational and accounting tasks in a centralized hub to take control of procurement, generate accurate financial insights, monitor cash flow, and make decisions with data that can be trusted.
  • Mobile-first field apps to empower technicians for efficient on-site data capture, execution of high-quality work, timekeeping, and other high impact field actions.
  • The center of the tech ecosystem with deep integrations into Sage Intacct, Inova, and other key tech platforms that Cobalt will be deploying.

"What excites me most about partnering with ServiceTitan is that their technology is built for scale, and we don’t have to compromise on industry-specific workflows, giving us the best of both worlds,” said Chris Kalna, Vice President of Technology at Cobalt Service Partners. “Their team has demonstrated success in building a platform that operates seamlessly across multiple locations, while supporting numerous and complex roll-outs simultaneously. ServiceTitan is not just a software partner. They are the backbone of our tech stack, driving alignment across our team, partner companies, and the various integrated partners in our tech ecosystem."
