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.

Spectrotel Acquires Global Leading Cato Managed Service Provider

NEPTUNE, N.J., Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spectrotel, Inc., a leading provider of Managed Network Services and Connectivity solutions, today announced it has signed an agreement to acquire Mosaic NetworX, a premier global managed services provider and a top-tier Cato Networks partner.

The acquisition represents a significant milestone in Spectrotel’s evolution and strategic roadmap, expanding its capabilities in secure networking, cloud-based service delivery, and intelligent connectivity. With Mosaic’s deep expertise in delivering scalable, next-generation Cato SASE and SD-WAN solutions, the acquisition strengthens Spectrotel’s ability to deliver fully managed, and secure network services to mid-market and enterprise clients across distributed environments.

“Acquiring Mosaic is a strategic move that enhances our ability to meet the growing demand for secure, intelligent services that support today’s complex, distributed enterprise networks,” said Ross Artale, CEO of Spectrotel. “Mosaic’s leadership in secure connectivity and the Cato ecosystem directly aligns with our vision to redefine how enterprises manage and protect their networks. Together, we will accelerate innovation, expand our international footprint, and deliver the high-touch, high-performance managed network services our customers and partners need to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.”

Backed by private investment firm Grain Management, Spectrotel continues to execute on its strategic vision of scaling into a global Managed Network Services Provider (MNSP). The acquisition of Mosaic underscores that commitment, extending its reach and enhancing its ability to serve increasingly complex and distributed enterprise environments.

“Spectrotel’s acquisition of Mosaic demonstrates strong execution on a bold growth strategy,” said Jenny Kashdan, Managing Director at Grain Management. “We’re excited to support this expansion and help fuel the company’s mission to deliver secure, intelligent, and globally managed network solutions.”

Following the close of the transaction, key members of Mosaic’s leadership team—including Matt Hiles, Chief Operating Officer, Peter Herschkorn, Vice President of Strategic Alliances, and Erik Rothrock, Vice President of Sales—will join Spectrotel, along with Mosaic’s highly skilled networking and security professionals. Their deep expertise and customer-first approach will further strengthen Spectrotel’s technical bench and support the continued expansion of its global service delivery capabilities. Mosaic Founder and CEO Brian Erickson, who has been instrumental in guiding the company to this exciting new chapter, will be stepping away from the organization. Spectrotel congratulates Brian on his vision and leadership in building Mosaic into a trusted, high-performance platform.

By uniting Mosaic’s global reach and SASE specialization with Spectrotel’s intelligent managed services platform, the combined organization will provide customers with end-to-end, simplified network management—from edge to cloud—designed to optimize operations and secure distributed environments.

“I am incredibly proud of Mosaic’s growth, global reach, and the deep trust we’ve built with our partners and customers over the years,” said Matt Hiles, COO of Mosaic. “As a leading Cato-focused managed service provider, we’ve helped enterprises modernize and secure their networks across the globe. Joining Spectrotel is an exciting next chapter—together, we will accelerate innovation and deliver even greater value through our combined scale, expertise, and shared commitment to world-class service.”

The Bank Street Group LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Mosaic NetworX in connection with the transaction.

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions. Financial terms were not disclosed.
