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.

Blackwells Capital Issues Presentation Highlighting Compelling Combination of Global Net Lease and The Necessity Retail REIT

By: via Business Wire

Blackwells Capital LLC (together with its affiliates, “Blackwells”), an alternative investment management firm that is a shareholder of both Global Net Lease Inc. (NYSE: GNL) (“Global Net Lease,” “GNL” or the “Company") and The Necessity Retail REIT Inc. (NASDAQ: RTL) (“Necessity Retail REIT” or “RTL”), today issued a presentation that describes Blackwells’ rationale for supporting the proposed merger of GNL and RTL. The compelling combination will result in a pro forma entity with nearly $10 billion in real estate assets, making GNL one of the largest publicly traded net lease REITs. Blackwells expects that the increased scale, diversity and efficiency, combined with internalization of management and impressive governance enhancements, will position the Company to create immediate and long-term value for all shareholders.

Blackwells’ full presentation is available at https://www.blackwellscap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Blackwells-GNL-RTL-Merger-Presentation-v06.pdf.

Jason Aintabi, Chief Investment Officer of Blackwells, said, “Blackwells has been engaged in extensive discussions with both GNL and RTL, and has had the opportunity to examine the proposed transaction and its potential benefits to shareholders. We have reviewed the portfolios in detail, as well as the proposed and possible cost savings, the benefits of internalization and the details of the governance enhancements, and have signed a non-disclosure agreement in order to continue to pursue this important collaboration.”

Mr. Aintabi continued, “After this review, we are confident in the merits of the transaction and believe the scale and diverse portfolio of the combined company, along with the enhancements to management and board accountability, will lead to meaningful value creation and genuine accountability for the Board. We were also pleased that the management team and Board have asked for our continued involvement and advice as the Company plots the best course forward.”

Mr. Aintabi concluded, “We applaud the internalization and significant governance enhancements that will be in effect as a result of the merger, which will bring the Company’s governance in-line with best practices across the REIT industry. This enhanced accountability and receptivity to shareholder perspectives marks a significant change from past practice and one which, in our view, will underpin long-term value creation. We strongly believe that the new configuration of the Company will cause the stock to re-rate in value, better reflecting the quality of the assets and potential of the business.”

Blackwells will vote in favor of the merger and related proposals at the Special Meetings of both GNL and RTL, as previously announced.
