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.

Oakley invests in global legal information platform, vLex

London, United Kingdom - 09-05-2022 (PR Distribution™) -

vLex, an award-winning online subscription platform offering easy access to the largest collection of legal information on a single service, receives investment from pan-European private equity investor, Oakley Capital (“Oakley”). This new partnership is fueled by a joint commitment to deliver world-class legal technology to a global market worth $21bln.

London, UK. September 5th, 2022. — Oakley Capital (“Oakley”), the pan-European private equity investor, is pleased to announce that Oakley Capital Origin Fund is partnering with the founders of vLex, a cloud-based legal information subscription platform. 

Founded by brothers Lluis and Angel Faus and headquartered in London, Miami and Barcelona, vLex provides over two million users with access to an online library of global legal and regulatory information, including case law, legislation, journals, and dockets from over 100 countries. vLex’s scalable and smart data ingestion process, coupled with AI-powered search engine functionality, makes research and analysis faster and easier, increasing productivity for users. The company’s diverse customer base includes law firms, universities and law schools, government agencies, and corporate enterprises across Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, the Caribbean, and the Americas.

vLex is profitable and has consistently generated double-digit revenue growth in recent years thanks to strong management, a differentiated product offering and market tailwinds. The global LegalTech market is worth $21 billion and growing as legal information users digitalise their business models further, and amid the growing complexity and internationalisation of laws and regulations.

Oakley’s partnership with vLex builds on the firm’s significant expertise in supporting digital-first, data and information platforms including TechInsights, the world’s authoritative information services platform for the global semiconductor industry. It is also Oakley’s fourth platform deal in Iberia, following the firm’s investments in property portal, idealista, business software provider, Grupo Primavera, and advertising technology disruptor, Seedtag. Oakley’s latest investment will help vLex’s management accelerate their strategic goal of building a cost-effective leader in the fragmented market for legal research, through organic growth and M&A. 

Oakley Capital Founder and Managing Partner, Peter Dubens, commented: 

“vLex has all the hallmarks of an Oakley deal: a fast-growing, disruptive business model in a niche sector, led by ambitious business founders. We look forward to partnering with Lluis and Angel to help them build a successful product in the global market for legal information.”

vLex Co-Founder and CEO, Lluis Faus said:

“Oakley has a strong track record of helping successful, tech-enabled businesses grow, through internationalisation, product optimisation and buy-and-build, both in Spain and abroad. We  particularly liked their entrepreneurial ethos and heritage, and look forward to working with the Oakley team as we deliver on our strategic objectives for vLex.”
