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.

Element Solutions Inc Completes Syndication of $1.15 Billion Term Loans and Reduces Debt Balance

Element Solutions Inc (NYSE: ESI) ("ESI"), a global and diversified specialty chemicals company, announced that it successfully completed the syndication of a seven-year secured term loan credit facility totaling $1.15 billion under its credit agreement.

ESI used the proceeds of the new $1,150 million term loan B-2 facility, together with cash on hand, to prepay its existing $1,105 million term loan B-1 tranche and $150 million term loan A.

Except for its maturity date, the new term loan B-2 tranche has substantially the same terms as the former term loan B-1 tranche, including its applicable interest rate of SOFR plus a spread of 2.00% per annum.

In connection with the funding of the new term loan B-2 tranche, ESI monetized existing interest rate and cross-currency swap agreements initially scheduled to mature in 2024 and 2026. ESI subsequently entered into new interest rate and cross-currency swap agreements, which effectively converted $760 million of the term loan B-2 tranche, a U.S. dollar denominated debt obligation, into fixed-rate euro-denominated debt at a fixed EUR all-in rate of 4.31%. These new swaps are set to mature in 2028. The balance of $390 million remains subject to existing swaps scheduled to mature in 2025.

Chief Financial Officer Carey Dorman said, “Through this transaction, we are reducing gross debt by over $100 million and extending the majority of our secured debt maturities to 2030 without increasing their margin. With our new swaps in place, we now have approximately 80% of our capital structure fixed until 2028, effectively mitigating interest rate risk from the ongoing higher rate environment. We have been working over the past year to further improve our already healthy balance sheet and believe we have made substantial progress.”
