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.

Transom-Backed Secur-Serv Completes Fifth Add-On Acquisition, Delivers M&A Growth Story

LOS ANGELES, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Secur-Serv (www.secur-serv.com), a market-leading managed services provider backed by Transom Capital Group (“Transom”), announced it has completed the acquisition of Arrowhead Technologies, a Fort Worth, Texas-based provider of managed IT and security services. This transaction marks the fifth add-on acquisition for Secur-Serv in approximately three years under Transom’s ownership, showcasing the effectiveness of combining organic growth with M&A activity to achieve scale and breadth in the IT services industry.

Since acquiring Secur-Serv along with an unrelated education business in December 2019 as a carve-out from payment solutions company Harland Clarke, Transom has worked closely with Secur-Serv to execute on a focused operational transformation strategy. Transom recognized the opportunity to expand Secur-Serv’s geographic footprint, services offered, and breadth of customers by identifying and acquiring smaller, regional businesses. As such, Transom sold the unrelated education asset to sharpen its focus on the fast-growing, high-margin managed IT segment.

The addition of Arrowhead Technologies builds on this momentum. With the completion of this acquisition, Secur-Serv has closed on a total of five acquisitions under Transom’s ownership, more than doubling EBITDA of the business. This, coupled with Secur-Serv’s organic growth, positions the company for its next phase of growth and performance.

“Arrowhead Technologies is a strong addition to the Secur-Serv platform,” said Steve Kim, Managing Director at Transom. “By combining organic growth with targeted acquisitions and a focus on operational excellence, we’ve built a scalable platform that delivers exceptional value to clients. Together with Cathy Pickoski and her team, we’ve created a platform that is well positioned for continued success.”

“Transom has been an invaluable partner to our business, helping to establish Secur-Serv as a standalone company and guide our expansion while significantly improving our profitability and margins,” said Cathy Pickoski, CEO of Secur-Serv. “The acquisition of Arrowhead Technologies is an exciting milestone for us, as it strengthens our geographic footprint in the Southwest U.S. and enhances our presence in compliance-driven end markets. This partnership strengthens our ability to meet the evolving needs of our clients and positions us for continued growth and excellence in the managed IT and security services space.”
