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.

WSFS Financial Corporation’s A- Senior Unsecured Debt Rating Affirmed with Stable Outlook by KBRA, Reflecting Strong Earnings, Liquidity, Capital, and Diversified Fee Revenue

Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) has reaffirmed the senior unsecured debt rating of A- for WSFS Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: WSFS) (“WSFS” or “the Company”). KBRA also reaffirmed WSFS’ subordinated debt rating of BBB+ and a short-term debt rating of K2. WSFS Bank, the Company’s primary subsidiary, received strong credit ratings as well, including A ratings for both senior unsecured debt and deposit, a subordinated debt rating of A-, and the short-term debt and deposit ratings of K1. KBRA’s debt rating report for WSFS can be accessed here.

“For the ninth consecutive year, WSFS has received a strong Investment Grade debt rating by KBRA. The rating reflects the quality of our diversified business model, which includes strong fee revenue as well as ample liquidity and capital. Our regional and national franchises continue to be well-positioned to serve our Customers and markets,” said WSFS’ Executive Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Arthur Bacci.

KBRA also noted the ratings are supported by WSFS’ significant and stable fee revenue base derived from diversified business lines, particularly its premier wealth and trust divisions, which KBRA views as a key differentiator and primary driver of the Company’s high ratings profile. Additionally, KBRA noted considerable growth for Cash Connect, a division of WSFS Bank providing cash logistics and payments, over the years as the Company has captured market share as competitors have exited the space, which is becoming a larger piece of noninterest income. The favorable fee income trends and maintenance of a healthy NIM due to WSFS’ lower-beta deposit base and well-balanced loan portfolio with regard to fixed/variable interest rate structures that results in solid loan yields, have produced strong profitability in recent years, as well as historically. Also key to the ratings is WSFS’ favorable core funding profile and strong market position, with the largest deposit market share among locally headquartered banks. KBRA also acknowledged WSFS’ markets reflect favorable demographics and are economically diverse, which provides some resilience in periods of stress; its historical asset quality metrics have been solid overall, supported by sound underwriting and credit administration; and its diversified loan portfolio.
