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.

SelectQuote Completes First Phase of Recapitalization with $100 Million Securitization

SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT), a leading distributor of Medicare insurance policies and owner of a rapidly-growing Healthcare Services platform, today announced the completion of a $100 million securitization transaction on October 15, 2024.

Securitization provides advanced financing against the Company’s expected collections for policies previously sold. The Company’s receivables totaled approximately $1 billion as of June 30, 2024, and only a portion of the total receivables balance was securitized in this transaction. The Company will use the proceeds from this first securitization to pay down a portion of its outstanding term debt. The new securitized debt offers a materially lower cost of capital than the Company’s term debt.

The transaction also includes a meaningful maturity extension for the remainder of SelectQuote’s term debt from September 15, 2025 to September 30, 2027, and provides a path to an additional extension to September 30, 2028 upon completion of agreed upon payment milestones. While the Company believes future securitization deals remain the most attractive solution to a permanent recapitalization, it has hired an investment bank to conduct a strategic review of all available options to meet the Company's payment milestones, strengthen the balance sheet, and fund continued investment in core business lines.

SelectQuote CEO Tim Danker commented, “This securitization marks an important milestone for SelectQuote. This innovative approach to financing our business comes at a significant improvement to the Company’s current cost of capital. This transaction marks a critical first step toward our ultimate goal of significantly improving our capital structure and unlocking value for shareholders.”
