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.

Mariner Expands Independent Platform Leadership Team Amid Surge in Advisor Demand

--News Direct--

Mariner, a national financial services firm, is reaffirming its strategic commitment to the independent advisor channel with the continued expansion of Mariner Independent, the firm’s supported independence platform. Serving more than 1,100 advisors and overseeing approximately $40 billion in assets under management (AUM) and assets under advisement (AUA), Mariner Independent is a core driver of the firm’s growth strategy.

As demand accelerates flexible affiliation models and long-term monetization pathways, the firm is enhancing its leadership team to support the next phase of platform evolution. In doing so, Mariner has named Rob Sandrew as Head of Mariner Independent to guide the platform’s ongoing innovation, advisor experience, and expansion into new partnership models. Sandrew brings a unique blend of operational and strategic leadership; prior to joining Mariner, he served as chief growth officer at Integrated Partners, where he helped grow the firm from $3 billion to over $21 billion in assets.

In addition to Sandrew, Verne Marble recently joined Mariner Independent as Managing Director. Marble brings a wealth of experience in distribution and leadership, having held senior positions at Private Advisor Group, LPL Financial, and Edelman Financial Engines.

“This is a pivotal time for independent advisors, and I’m proud to be stepping into a leadership role at Mariner Independent as it enters its next stage of growth,” said Sandrew. “We have a real opportunity and the capabilities to deepen the support and flexibility advisors are looking for, and I’m eager to help shape a platform that truly aligns with where both the industry and advisor expectations are heading.”

These leadership appointments come during a period of robust growth for Mariner as the firm expands its independent offerings, including appealing buyout options for affiliated 1099 advisors seeking succession solutions. Recent transactions, such as the acquisition of Ocean Heights Advisors, provide advisors with an opportunity to monetize their practice while transitioning into a comprehensive W-2 structure that includes bespoke terms, upfront cash, and equity, along with a three-year earnout based on operating margins.

“We’ve seen tremendous growth from our independent advisors, and it’s a clear signal that the model is working. Advisors want the freedom to run their business their way, with the support to scale and the options to monetize when the time is right,” said Marty Bicknell, CEO and president of Mariner. “That’s exactly what Mariner Independent is built to deliver. With Rob and Verne stepping in, we’re expanding that vision and setting the pace for what’s next in the independent space. Their leadership ensures Mariner Independent will continue to be a destination for growth-minded professionals who want to remain independent without feeling alone.”

Since its launch in 2020, Mariner’s supported independence model has delivered a robust suite of services including back-office support, practice management, marketing, investment solutions, and compliance resources, all backed by a dedicated team of over 300 professionals.

Sandrew and Marble will both join the Mariner Independent Executive Committee, partnering with the firm’s leadership to shape the future direction of this dynamic platform.
