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.

Barings Provides $84 Million Financing on Hotel Commonwealth in Boston, MA

Barings, one of the world’s largest diversified real estate investment managers, announced today that it has provided an $84 million loan to refinance the existing loan on Hotel Commonwealth (“the Hotel”) in Boston, Massachusetts. Ohana Real Estate Investors acquired the 245-room hotel in November 2020.

“We are excited about partnering up with Ohana, a highly experienced hotel investor. Fundamentals in the Boston hotel market continue to improve following the COVID-19 pandemic with limited new supply entering the market in the near term. Hotel Commonwealth is uniquely positioned to benefit from Boston’s diverse demand drivers including a concentration of the world’s best medical and academic institutions, a leading life sciences and research sector, and its world-renowned professional sports teams,” said Ryan Naumes, Managing Director with Barings.

Hotel Commonwealth is located at 500 Commonwealth Avenue, situated in Kenmore Square, adjacent to Boston University’s campus and Fenway Park. The Hotel was built in 2003 and renovated and expanded in 2014 and 2015. Of the 245 oversized rooms, 75 are suites with views of Kenmore Square or Fenway Park. The Hotel features 12,500 square feet of meeting space across eight rooms.

JLL advised the sponsorship on the financing from Barings.

This transaction expands Barings’ $26.29+ billion* real estate debt platform, which leverages the team’s broad direct origination capabilities and deep credit expertise to invest in loans secured by institutional-quality commercial real estate.
