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.

Wayne, PA – Alden Investment Group is pleased to announce the addition of Mike Downey as Director of Insurance Solutions & Executive Benefits.

With over 34 years of industry experience, Mike brings many years of expertise in insurance solutions, executive benefits, and financial strategies tailored to institutional and retail clients.

Mike joins Alden to lead the firm’s newly created Insurance Solutions & Executive Benefits Division, where he will work closely with banks, credit unions, capital markets, family offices, wealth management teams, RIAs, and financial planners. His vast experience, including 15 years as a life insurance wholesaler and successfully transitioning into a hybrid producer role, perfectly suits Alden’s diverse clientele.

“For the past 20 years, my focus has been helping depository and financial institutions implement strategies to retain, recruit, and retire senior executives,” said Mike Downey. “At Alden, I have the opportunity to expand my impact by leveraging my entire skill set across both the institutional and retail sides of the business. The firm’s entrepreneurial atmosphere, innovative product offerings, and unique access to financial solutions were major factors in my decision to join the team.”

Mike’s extensive background includes advanced insurance solutions for wealth transfer and business continuity, making him a valuable resource for Alden’s financial advisors and clients. He holds a degree from the University of Maryland and the Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation, Life Underwriters Fellow (LUTCF), life and health insurance licenses, and FINRA Series 6, 63, and 7 registrations.

Lee Calfo, CEO of Alden Investment Group, expressed his enthusiasm for Mike’s arrival, stating:  We’ve worked with Mike at our broker/dealer in his prior capacities and are excited now to have him in an executive role at Alden. His significant experience working with both financial advisors and institutional clients will be instrumental as he builds our Insurance & Executive Benefits Division.”

“Mike’s arrival allows us to meet growing demand from our advisor base to extend our financial planning and asset management solutions teams to encompass tax, estate and charitable planning,” added Aaron Williams, Chief Growth Officer. “Every week, we receive calls and emails requesting family office services, multi-generational planning and tax minimization strategies. Bringing in such a reputable advanced planner – who always leads with a client and solutions-first approach – is a natural extension of our platform services that we’re proud to offer our clients and advisors.”

Mike officially joined Alden Investment Group in March 2025 and is based in Owings, Maryland.
