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.

Twitter Gets Downgraded While Waiting For Musk’s Acquisition.

Twitter’s credit rating will be lowered by “multiple notches” after Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media company, according to S&P Global Ratings.

Shares of Twitter, (NYSE: TWTR), closed at $49.68 a share, 8.3 percent below the agreed-upon acquisition price of $54.20.

On Monday, Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk said that the business had secured $44 billion in debt and margin loan capital and 21.0 billion dollars in equity commitments from other investors.

Earlier this week, S&P stated that Musk’s takeover proposal includes $13 billion in fresh debt financing and a $12.5 billion margin loan against $62.5 billion in Tesla shares, which would lead Twitter’s leverage to “spike considerably” above levels linked to the existing BB+ rating, according to S&P.

According to the rating agency, S&P’s highest “junk” grade is BB+. If Twitter’s capital structure and credit metrics are considered, it may be possible to consolidate the margin loan. Today, Twitter has just $5.29 billion in unpaid debt. Whether or not the margin loan was considered in Twitter’s credit metrics, S&P said that “debt in the capital structure would increase considerably, and leverage would exceed our 1.5x ceiling for the current grade.” The acquisition is projected to lower the issuer’s credit rating by many notches, and it is doubtful that it will rise beyond the “B” category.

According to the current ranking, there is a three-notch drop in the B+ grade to get there.

According to S&P, controlling ownership is considered a big governance risk since the controlling owner may put their interests above other stakeholders, particularly debtholders.

Tweeters are either cheering “free speech” or crying out “RIP Twitter” after Elon Musk’s bid was approved by Twitter’s board of directors. Both parties will be obliged to pay $1 billion if the sale fails.

Twitter’s credit rating has been reviewed by Moody’s Investor Services, which left its Ba2 rating on Tuesday. In addition, Musk’s offer for Twitter would “materially lower” the amount of cash on hand at Twitter, as indicated by Moody’s, since that money would be required to help finance the acquisition.

In addition, Moody has cautioned that “potential legislative changes to third-party content liability protection and data privacy restrictions that may affect its firm” are a danger to Twitter’s financial stability.

Tweeter has dropped by 24.7% last year, while Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook and another social media corporation, has dropped by 40.4%.
