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.

Tim Lamb Group Facilitates Sale of Toyota of Warren in Warren, OH to Rafih Auto Group

Columbus, OH, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Tim Lamb Group, the largest auto dealership sales and acquisitions firm in North America, has announced the sale of Toyota of Warren to Rafih Auto Group, marking the 120th dealership sold in Ohio by Lamb and his team. The transaction, which closed on April 28, 2025, was personally brokered by Tim Lamb, President and Director of the Northeast Region.

The dealership, located at 2657 Niles-Cortland Rd. SE in Warren, Ohio, will continue operating under Toyota of Warren. The sellers, Jim Whetstone, Joseph Marzullo, and Tim Marburger of Jim Whetstone Auto Group, will now focus on their remaining dealerships in Ohio and New York.

“Our group has known Tim Lamb for almost twenty years. In fact, we purchased the first dealership Tim and his company sold back in 2007,” stated Jim Whetstone, owner of Jim Whetstone Auto Group. “I can’t think of another person I would trust to handle a transaction of this magnitude.”

This acquisition marks Rafih Auto Group’s first Toyota dealership in the United States and their first transaction conducted with the Tim Lamb Group. Under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Terry Rafih, Rafih Auto Group represents 30 world-renowned automotive brands including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jeep, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Porsche and Toyota. The group currently operates 27 dealerships across Canada and the United States, with a growing presence in Michigan and Ohio.  

The newly acquired 25,000+ square-foot facility spans five acres and includes a showroom, a comprehensive parts and service center, and 18 service stalls. Toyota of Warren remains dedicated to delivering superior customer service by using only certified OEM Toyota parts and the latest in service technology.  

“This deal with Jim Whetstone Auto Group marks the 120th dealership we’ve sold in the state of Ohio,” stated Tim Lamb. “It’s especially meaningful that the seller is a client we have been doing business with since we started the company in 2006. We are also excited to have Terry Rafih and his group as a valued client moving forward.”

As part of the acquisition, Rafih Auto Group will retain the current employees of Toyota of Warren, ensuring continuity for customers and staff alike.
