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.

U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) announced plans to issue 24 million shares of U.S. Bancorp common stock to an affiliate of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) for an aggregate purchase price of $936 million. The proceeds will be used by U.S. Bancorp to satisfy a portion of its previously announced repayment obligation to MUFG (as described below). The debt/equity conversion is expected to close on August 3, 2023, and will be accretive to U.S. Bancorp’s capital levels, increasing its CET1 ratio by approximately 20 basis points.

As previously announced, on December 1, 2022, U.S. Bancorp completed the acquisition of MUFG Union Bank N.A.’s core regional banking franchise. U.S. Bancorp received $3.5 billion in additional cash held by MUFG Union Bank, N.A., which, under the terms of the purchase agreement, U.S. Bancorp is required to repay on or prior to the fifth anniversary date of the acquisition, with a reasonable best-efforts obligation to repay up to $1 billion within a reasonable time after conversion. The proceeds of the stock issuance will satisfy the payment requirement made in connection with the conversion, with the remaining obligation due in cash by the previously agreed upon deadline of December 1, 2027.

The issuance of the 24 million shares and debt repayment is additive to the company’s capital building initiatives discussed in its second quarter earnings press release of July 19, 2023. The transaction will also strengthen U.S. Bancorp’s strategic relationship with MUFG.
