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.

Rubicon Fund II Makes Strategic Plays in San Francisco Bay Area

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rubicon Point Partners has acquired a 200-unit, newly constructed multifamily property located in the heart of San Francisco’s Area AI—a neighborhood emerging as a global center for artificial intelligence, innovation, and talent. Completed in 2020, the asset offers a high-quality residential experience in one of the city’s most promising growth corridors.

This marks the second investment by Rubicon Point Partners Fund II, which completed its first close in July 2025. The fund targets special situation opportunities across the West Coast, with a specific focus on the San Francisco Bay Area—where market dislocation is creating rare, generational opportunities for long-term value creation.

“We are making a high-conviction bet on the future of San Francisco,” said Ani Vartanian, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Rubicon Point Partners. “This exemplifies our strategy: a stabilized, institutional-quality asset with strong current yield and long-term upside in a market undergoing real transformation.”

A Thesis-Driven Approach to Complexity
Rubicon Point Partners has built its investment strategy around navigating complexity. Founded in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis, the firm has honed its ability to identify opportunity amid disruption—insights that are especially relevant in today’s environment of post-pandemic aftershocks and elevated interest rates.

San Francisco is reemerging as the capital of the AI economy, fueling renewed demand for urban living. As top tech firms scale and talent returns, demand is rising for well-located multifamily housing in walkable, transit-connected neighborhoods.

Expanding Focus on Multifamily
This acquisition also underscores Rubicon’s growing emphasis on the multifamily sector. Known for uncovering off-market and underappreciated assets across property types, Rubicon sees strong fundamentals and structural tailwinds supporting residential investment in innovation-led regions.
