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.

The Ugly Company Announces $9M Series A Funding Round to Accelerate Nationwide Growth

The Farmersville, CA-based company addresses the 108B pounds of food wasted in the United States annually

The Ugly Company, a farmer-led producer of upcycled dried fruit snacks, today announced the completion of a $9M Series A round of funding. The Ugly Company will use the funds to expand its processing capacity to meet surging demand while accelerating expansion nationwide.

The funding round was led by Sun Valley Packing, a Reedley-based fruit grower and distributor, and Texas-based Value Creation Strategies. Musician Justin Timberlake and Valley Ag Capital Holdings (VACH) also participated in the round. Founder Ben Moore is proud that the majority of the company's funding was sourced locally from the San Joaquin Valley.

"The millions of pounds of fruit that gets thrown away every day in Central CA is heart-breaking," said Ben Moore, founder and CEO of The Ugly Company. "My Dad is a farmer that raised me on the seat of a tractor, but it wasn't until I returned home from the Army, and was working as a truck driver, that I looked at this food waste from a new perspective. I felt called to action to ensure every piece of fruit grown in the Valley is consumed by people, not landfills and livestock. This Series A funding is huge for us. We can finally address our infrastructure needs and expand sales nationally."

Rapidly growing, The Ugly Company's snacks are available in Sprouts nationwide, select REI, Whole Foods, and HyVee stores, and will be available in Kroger Banners (Ralph's, Fred Meyer, QFC, King Soopers, and Fry's) later this year on the West Coast. Current dried fruit include cherries, peaches, white nectarines, apricots, and kiwis.

"Ben and his family have farmed next door to us for generations. I didn't know Ben personally until he was hauling fruit from our packing shed," said Casey Jones, CEO of Sun Valley Packing. "In between loads, Ben often sought me out for help with the new company he'd started. My family invested in The Ugly Co. because we share Ben's passion for solving food waste at our farm. We also know that Ben has the hand-in-the-dirt, altruistic work ethic that it takes to solve this enormous problem."

Last year The Ugly Company prevented more than 2.17M pounds of food waste by upcycling. In 2023, it aims to turn 3M pounds of perfectly good fruit, which otherwise would've been tossed or fed to cattle, into dried fruit.
