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.

EJF Capital and North Signal Capital Close $75 Million in Construction Financing for Warehouses at RiverPort Commerce Park in Opportunity Zone

By: via Business Wire

The Hardeeville, S.C. Project Is Part of a Master-Planned Community Strategically Located Near the Port of Savannah and I-95

EJF Capital LLC (“EJF”) and joint venture partner North Signal Capital LLC (“North Signal”) have closed on a $75.1 million senior construction loan from Bank OZK to develop three Class A warehouses at RiverPort Commerce Park (“RiverPort”) located less than ten miles from the Port of Savannah, GA, the fastest growing container terminal in the United States.1 The buildings are in a Qualified Opportunity Zone (“QOZ”) under the Tax Cuts and jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) which offers investors tax benefits to invest into Opportunity Zones with aim of spurring economic growth in lower income areas.

To date, the venture between EJF and North Signal has completed and fully leased four distribution warehouses at RiverPort totaling 1.3 million square feet and serving nine tenants. The new construction will result in three new state-of-the-art buildings—Building 5, Building 6, and Building 7—with a combined 1.3 million square feet of additional warehouse space.

Building 5 is a 127,000 square-foot rear-load building that is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2023. Building 6, a 405,000 square-foot, single-load building, is also slated for completion in the third quarter of this year. Building 7, a 791,000 square-foot cross-dock building, is expected to be completed at the end of 2023. All three of the buildings are designed to allow multiple tenants to begin operating quickly, and include warm-shell features such as speculative offices, dock packages, and motion-sensor LED lighting.

Emerging warehouse submarket

“RiverPort has been an ideal location for tenants who need to store and transport goods at a strategic location,” said EJF Senior Managing Director and Head of Real Estate Development, Asheel Shah. “We will soon have seven warehouses in this attractive submarket that puts tenants within 10 miles of the fastest growing port in the U.S.2 The strength of the port, its proximity to I-95 and I-16, and compelling property taxes make this area an extraordinary opportunity to capture the continued migration toward e-commerce, east coast ports, and the Southeast US.”

“We are thrilled to continue to expand in RiverPort Commerce Park with our partner, EJF,” added Peter Goulding, Founder and Partner of North Signal Capital. “We want to thank Bank OZK for their confidence in our vision. These additional warehouses will provide convenient truck and port access to businesses not only in the Southeast, but the entire country.”

“Bank OZK is excited to partner with EJF and North Signal on construction financing for this dynamic project,” said Tom Moore, Managing Director of Originations at Bank OZK. “This large-scale Class A industrial development will further strengthen RiverPort Commerce Park’s position as a regional distribution hub given its convenience and accessibility.”
