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.

News Source: Matrix Capital Markets Group Inc.

RICHMOND, Va., and BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 17, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Matrix Capital Markets Group, Inc. announces that it has advised Jolley Associates, LLC and S.B. Collins, Inc.

Founded in the early 1920s by St. Albans businessman, Stephen Brooks Collins, S.B. Collins, Inc. is a local, family-owned petroleum distributor that has been serving the local community and surrounding area in Vermont for over 100 years. In 1963, Emanuel (Pete) Jolley purchased SBC from Stephen Collins and continued to grow its operations. In 1976, Pete’s sons, Bob and Bruce, expanded the family business by converting company-owned, full-service locations into convenience stores. They established a new partnership, Jolley Associates, to operate the stores under the c-store brand name “Short Stop” and in 2001, the company underwent a store-wide branding initiative that incorporated the “Jolley” logo. In 2011, SBC diversified their portfolio even further and purchased Clarence Brown, Inc., the oldest family-owned heating oil delivery business in the region, which was headquartered in St. Albans, VT.

The late Robert (Bob) Jolley and his wife Mary Ellen were instrumental in growing the retail side of the business, and over the last decade-plus, under the leadership of Bruce Jolley (President), Samantha Peake (CFO), Shawn Bartlett (General Manager, Jolley Associates, LLC) and Steve Smith (General Manager, S.B. Collins, Inc.), SBC has flourished and maintained a premier status in all markets and customer segments from which it operates.

Matrix provided merger and acquisition advisory services to SBC, which included valuation advisory, marketing the enterprise through a confidential, structured sale process, and negotiation of the transaction. The transaction was managed by Spencer Cavalier, CFA, Co-Head of Matrix’s Downstream Energy & Convenience Retail Investment Banking Group; Sean Dooley, CFA, Managing Director; and John Mickelinc, CFA, Senior Associate.

Bruce Jolley, President of SBC, and Mary Ellen Jolley, Vice President, stated, “Matrix has been an invaluable resource for many years, and we knew they were the right advisor when it came time to sell our business. Their deep industry knowledge and advisory expertise were instrumental in bringing us to a successful closing, and we feel we’ve found a great partner in Stewart’s.”

Mr. Cavalier added, “Our relationship with Bruce, Mary Ellen, and Sam began over 10 years ago, and we’ve watched the company grow into one of the premier, independent petroleum marketing and convenience retailers in New England. We are grateful for this long-term relationship, and we are honored to have advised the shareholders on this very meaningful transaction.”

 

Otto Konrad and Kaitlin Cottle of Williams Mullen and Diane McCarthy of Sheehey Furlong & Behm P.C. served as legal counsel for SBC.
