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.

Morningstar DBRS Names Richard Sibthorpe Head of Canada

DBRS Limited (Morningstar DBRS), the leading Canadian credit rating agency, has appointed Mr. Richard Sibthorpe as Head of Canada and Global Investor Strategy. Mr. Sibthorpe succeeds Mr. Douglas E. Turnbull who retired at the end of September. Mr. Sibthorpe who also joins Morningstar DBRS’ global credit leadership team began his new position on November 25, 2024, and reports to Mr. Detlef Scholz, the company’s president.

Along with overseeing the Toronto-based credit rating agency’s operations and the company’s senior outreach activities in Canada, Mr. Sibthorpe will focus on the opportunities emerging from the rapidly evolving lending markets. Key industry changes and accelerating demand for credit ratings are triggered by the broadening and deepening of the private credit markets, changing risk criteria for fund and bank lending businesses in addition to the increasing use of credit risk assessments for pension and insurance balance sheet exposures.

"I am excited to be joining Morningstar DBRS at a time when the credit markets are evolving so quickly,” Mr. Sibthorpe said. “With interest rates normalizing, public and private credit markets converging, along with significant innovation taking place, the value of independent credit analysis has never been more important.”

“We are thrilled to have Richard on the team,” said Mr. Scholz. “I believe that our strong Canadian roots, paired with our global experience and perspective, provide us with a unique opportunity to serve the markets and lead the credit ratings industry in quality, transparency, and service.”

Mr. Sibthorpe joined Morningstar DBRS from BMO Capital Markets and brings over two decades of experience in credit markets. During his career at BMO, he was instrumental in the establishment and leadership of its global debt capital markets franchise, capitalizing on new market opportunities and building leading origination and distribution capabilities across loans and bonds.

Morningstar DBRS is a leading provider of independent credit rating services and opinions for corporate and sovereign entities, financial institutions, and project and structured finance instruments globally. Rating more than 4,000 issuers and 60,000 securities, we are one of the top four credit rating agencies in the world and a market leader in Canada, the U.S., and Europe in multiple asset classes.

Morningstar DBRS empowers investor success by bringing more transparency and a much-needed diversity of opinion in the credit rating industry. Morningstar DBRS’ approach and size allow it to be nimble enough to respond to customers' needs in their local markets, but large enough to provide the necessary expertise and resources they require. Market innovators choose to work with us because of our agility, tech-forward approach, and exceptional customer service.
