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 $244 Million Financing on 10-Building Industrial Portfolio in Logistics Park Kansas City in Edgerton, KS

Barings, one of the world’s largest diversified real estate investment managers, announced today that it has provided a $244 million loan to refinance a portfolio of 10 warehouse & distribution facilities totaling 6.4 million square feet in Logistics Park Kansas City, Edgerton, Kansas.

The portfolio is owned by a joint venture between an Ares Management Real Estate fund (“Ares”) and NorthPoint Development. Developed between 2014 and 2017, the buildings feature concrete tilt-panel construction with an average 35-foot clear-height and 706 dock doors. The portfolio is currently 93% leased to a collection of premier tenants such as Amazon, Stanley Black & Decker, Sam’s Club, Assa Abloy, and Smart Warehousing.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with Ares and NorthPoint Development for the refinancing of these Class A facilities in a strong industrial market,” said Steve Murray, Managing Director with Barings. “This opportunity is closely aligned with Barings’ real estate debt strategy, focused on investing in high-quality real estate in dynamic markets, backed by experienced sponsorship.”

All 10 properties offer immediate access to BNSF Railway’s state-of-the-art intermodal rail facility. “These assets are uniquely positioned to benefit from Kansas City’s healthy market fundamentals with the strategic location in NorthPoint’s world-class inland port,” said Daniel Hedgepeth, Director with Barings.

This transaction expands Barings’ $28.4+ 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.
