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.

MetLife Investment Management Provides $197.8 Million in Public-Private Financing to Flood Diversion Project

MIM develops tailored private placement that aligns with green loan principles and contributes to the advancement of UN sustainable development goals

Project financing to help protect 235,000 people in the Fargo-Moorhead (FM) metropolitan area from the impacts of extreme flooding

MetLife Investment Management (MIM), the institutional asset management business of MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET), today announced that it was the sole lender for $197.8 million in financing to support the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) portion of the FM Area Diversion project, the first PPP flood management project in North America.

MIM’s Private Capital team led the innovative private placement program on behalf of MetLife’s general account and MIM’s institutional clients as part of a broader financing package structured by the Red River Valley Alliance, a consortium including Acciona Concesiones, Shikun & Binui, and North American Construction Group. The Metro Flood Diversion Authority (MFDA) of the Fargo-Moorhead area selected the consortium for the design, construction, financing, operations, and maintenance of the project.

The cities of Fargo, North Dakota, and Moorhead, Minnesota, and surrounding areas have historically been prone to frequent and severe flooding from the Red River that cannot be mitigated solely by levees and floodwalls. The diversion project involves the construction of a 30-mile channel and associated infrastructure that will direct water around the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area during times of flooding, protecting businesses, property and over 235,000 local residents.

John Tanyeri, head of Infrastructure and Project Finance at MetLife Investment Management, said, “We’re proud to provide value through a creative private placement financing that will benefit the residents of the Fargo-Moorhead metro area. We’re committed to investing in green infrastructure that aligns with the climate adaptation and mitigation goals of our communities, and it’s promising to see a sophisticated funding model that combines public and private investment to achieve a more sustainable future.”

The PPP funding reinforces MIM’s long-term commitment to green investments that drive environmental sustainability. The financing framework for the private placement aligns with the four core components of the Green Loan Principles 2021 and directly advances goal 11 and goal 13 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

MIM’s Private Capital group comprises private placements, infrastructure and structured credit investment management, and is active across a wide range of industry sectors, including general industrial, healthcare, professional services, retail, utilities, electric transmission, renewable power and social housing, among others. As of June 30, 2021, MIM had $131.9 billion in private capital assets under management1 and $666.7 billion in total assets under management.2
