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.

Validation Cloud Names Alex Nwaka CEO to Lead the AI Era of Web3

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Validation Cloud today announced that co-founder Alex Nwaka has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, a move that signals the company’s boldest chapter yet: building the defining AI platform for the $100T digital asset economy.

Nwaka is a rare executive who has operated across Wall Street, global M&A, and venture capital before turning to frontier AI and digital assets. His career has been marked by spotting paradigm shifts early — and scaling them. From Morgan Stanley and UBS to venture capital at Virgin Management and Touchdown Ventures, to co-founding Validation Cloud, Nwaka has consistently been at the center of “what’s next.”

At Validation Cloud, he has already spearheaded the launch of Mavrik, the company’s AI engine that turns blockchain data into intelligence, and driven partnerships with the most influential networks in the space. Now, as CEO, his focus is singular: to cement Validation Cloud as the indispensable intelligence layer of Web3.

“AI is enabling institutional access to the digital asset economy,” said Nwaka. “Validation Cloud is creating the intelligence layer that makes trillions in on-chain value understandable and actionable. That is how we’ll define the future of Web3.”

Michael Horowitz, who co-founded the company in 2022 alongside Nwaka and CTO Andrew McFarlane, transitions from CEO to serve as President and Chairman. He will remain closely involved in strategy and institutional relationships while continuing to work closely with the executive team to advance the mission.

“Alex has already been the force behind many of our biggest moves,” he said. “He combines vision with execution and the instincts to accelerate Validation Cloud into its next phase. This appointment reflects the strength of the team we set out to build — and my full confidence in Alex to lead it.”

Validation Cloud has already enabled more than $40 billion in on-chain activity. Under Nwaka’s leadership, it will do something bigger: define the intelligence layer of Web3 and make AI the engine of the digital asset economy.
