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.

White Oak Deploys Nearly $1.5 Billion in Lending Activity in 2022

White Oak Global Advisors, LLC, (“WOGA”), a global alternative asset manager providing flexible and secure funding to help businesses grow, today announced that the firm, together with its financing affiliates (collectively “White Oak”), originated $1.4 billion of loan transactions across 60 deals in 2022.

“2022 was an exceptional year for White Oak,” said Andre Hakkak, Co-Founder & CEO. “The current economic landscape continued to drive demand on the borrower side for flexible lending solutions that can be executed with speed, and investors continued to show their appetite for a private credit strategy that offers bank-like lending within an asset management framework. I’m thrilled by the impact we had in 2022 and look forward to another year of success.”

With many traditional banking lenders withdrawing from a market challenged by tighter monetary policy and significant volatility, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) continued to look for ways to access differentiated financing solutions. White Oak continued to position itself as a primary non-bank lender to SMEs and remained deeply committed to providing tailored and flexible solutions, underwritten by industry experts.

“Over the past year, White Oak was again able to service SMEs across an array of industries as a one-stop shop provider for long-term, scalable, and customizable financing,” said Darius Mozaffarian, Partner & President at WOGA. “Looking ahead, and in light of persistent inflation data, the labor market and interest rate environment, we see continued demand for such offerings and remain bullish on asset-based and asset-backed lending from an investment opportunity standpoint.”

The total dollar amount of White Oak’s 2022 originations accounts for the combined value of 60 separate transactions to SMEs across multiple sectors. Key transactions included:

  • A $114 million transaction to provide financing for the acquisition of a full-service refractory provider for steel and industrial activities.
  • A $125 million ABS transaction in which White Oak worked closely with Syco Entertainment Ltd on a flagship securitization of non-scripted TV shows.
  • A $130 million senior secured term loan in which White Oak was Lead Arranger to Trecora Resources, facilitating a take-private transaction by Balmoral Funds.
  • A $21.3 million senior credit facility to Omni Recycling, underscoring White Oak’s leading position in impact-oriented private credit transactions.

Finacity Corporation (“Finacity”), a global leader in working capital and trade finance funding solutions that was acquired by White Oak in 2021, also marked 2022 as a record year with $150 billion-plus of receivables financed through White Oak facilities.
