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.

Frontier Announces Amendment to its Revolving Credit Facility

By: via Business Wire

Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. (NASDAQ: FYBR) (“Frontier” or the “Company”) today announced the execution of an amendment to its revolving credit facility. The amendment increases the amount of new securitization debt the company may issue and requires that a portion of the proceeds be used to refinance first lien debt.

“This amendment allows us more flexibility to use securitizations to fund our fiber build and to refinance more expensive debt, while also providing important protections for our first lien debtholders,” said Scott Beasley, Chief Financial Officer of Frontier.

Frontier is the largest pure-play fiber internet provider in the country and issued its first fiber securitization notes in August 2023 as part of a $2.1 billion financing backed by fiber assets and associated customer contracts in the Dallas metropolitan area.

“Securitization is an attractive investment-grade financing tool that offers investors returns backed by the recurring cash flows of our fiber assets. This amendment will allow for additional securitizations alongside more traditional bank and bond financings, while working to ensure first lien holders are not disadvantaged,” added Beasley.

Under the terms of the amended revolving credit facility, Frontier increased its combined cap on certain first lien debt, securitization and receivables facilities, and non-loan party debt from $2.5 billion to $5.5 billion.

Additionally, the following protections were established for secured creditors:

  • For securitization and receivables facilities in excess of approximately $2.1 billion and up to $4.0 billion, Frontier will use 40% of securitization issuance to retire first lien debt.
  • For those in excess of $4.0 billion and up to the new $5.5 billion cap, Frontier will use 100% of securitization issuance to retire first lien debt.
  • Securitization and receivable facilities are limited to Frontier’s assets in Texas and Florida, two of the company’s larger fiber markets.
