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.

Magarac Venture Partners Announces First Closing of New Fund

The region's most experienced early-stage venture investors are targeting early-stage Midwest technology companies.

PITTSBURGH - May 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Magarac Venture Partners (MVP), a Pittsburgh-based early stage venture capital firm, announces the first closing of its latest fund. The Fund is focused on being the Most Valuable Partner to extraordinary entrepreneurs that are passionate about leading with purpose and creating world-changing companies. MVP is led by a team of experienced early-stage investors in the Midwest and national tech ecosystem, including Jay Katarincic, Mike Stubler and Zach Malone, who have an extensive history of success in leading Draper Triangle Ventures, the predecessor to MVP. The Fund is proud of the addition of long-time investor Will Allen to the team as a co-founder and partner. MVP primarily targets leading early stage financing rounds; it will also join seed stage investors in smaller rounds for startups and other nationally known investors in providing growth financing. 

MVP will focus on sectors that have the potential to thrive in Pittsburgh's and the Midwest's technology ecosystem. The Midwest is an area with great potential. It has the largest population in the U.S., highest amount of Fortune 500 companies, produces tremendous engineering talent and growing tech clusters. The team's portfolio and past investments are indicative of these factors and include many of this Midwest's most successful companies, including Aware, Autobooks, Locomation, Alviere, Stimdia, RE2 Robotics, TOA Technologies, CardioInsight, Onshift, BodyMedia, Carnegie Learning, and Renal Solutions. 

"We are most thankful for the continued support of our long-time investors, as well as the addition of investors new to our firm, and look forward to partnering with entrepreneurs to build the next generation of high growth companies," said Will Allen. "Our vision is to cultivate and maintain the highest standard of consistent performance by providing resources and access to entrepreneurs, our investors and our community. This will lead to exceptional returns and significant societal impact while leading with purpose."

The early-stage technology ecosystem in the Midwest, especially Pittsburgh, is poised for rapid growth. We have built this fund to take advantage of this unique opportunity to create top-tier returns for investors looking to access the forefront of this emerging market. MVP is focused on partnering with innovative founders focused on disrupting large markets by providing the resources to compete in today's global marketplace," said Jay Katarincic. "For decades, universities and research institutions in the Midwest developed talent and technology that was often lost to the coastal regions of the United States as entrepreneurs left in search of capital. That stops now." 

Core to the strategy of MVP is its significant commitment to investment in underrepresented founders. In the past, underrepresented founders have had difficulty excelling in the tech space, and MVP will change that landscape for emerging technology companies. The Firm will work rigorously to have each investment have person of color, an African American, female, immigrant and/or LGBTQ representation on their leadership teams. MVP will also ensure more than one-third of its investments to companies that are diverse. The firm will build on its past investment expertise to drive innovative growth for diverse and underrepresented entrepreneurs.
