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.

KBRA Releases Research – CMBS Loan Performance Trends: September 2025

By: via Business Wire

KBRA releases a report on U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) loan performance trends observed in the September 2025 servicer reporting period. The delinquency rate among KBRA-rated U.S. private label CMBS decreased to 7.7% in September from 7.9% in August. However, the total delinquent plus current but specially serviced loan rate (collectively, the distress rate) remained stable at 10.7%. The office delinquency rate decreased 90 basis points (bps) this month to 12.3%. Most of the office loans that became current this month remain with the special servicer, which is why the office distress rate did not fall. Among KBRA-rated loans, 1211 Avenue of the Americas ($1 billion in AOTA 2015-1211) became a performing matured balloon after a three-year modification and extension was closed last month.

In September, CMBS loans totaling $2.1 billion were newly added to the distress rate, of which 40% ($823.4 million) involved imminent or actual maturity default. The office sector experienced the highest volume of newly distressed loans (42.1%, $866.5 million), followed by mixed-use (19.1%, $393.4 million) and retail (16.8%, $345.3 million).

Key observations of the September 2025 performance data are as follows:

  • The delinquency rate decreased to 7.7% ($25.2 billion) from 7.9% ($26.1 billion) in August.
  • The distress rate remained stable at 10.7% ($34.9 billion).
  • The office delinquency rate fell 90 bps this month to 12.3%. Most of the office loans that became current this month remain with the special servicer. Among KBRA-rated loans, 1211 Avenue of the Americas ($1 billion in AOTA 2015-1211) became a performing matured balloon as a three-year modification and extension was closed last month. Federal Center Plaza ($130 million in COMM 2013-CR6) and One Shell Square ($103.4 million in two conduits) became performing matured balloons this month. The borrower for Federal Center Plaza was granted a 12-month forbearance, which was announced in May. The workout strategy for One Shell Square is yet to be determined after the borrower failed to repay the loan at its July 2025 maturity date.
  • The mixed-use delinquency rate increased 82 bps this month to 12.3%, driven by 650 Madison Avenue ($339.4 million in eight KBRA-rated conduits), which became 30-59 days delinquent. The servicer’s commentary indicated that collections for the loan payment are in process.
  • The retail sector reversed course and recorded a 37-bp increase in its delinquency rate as loans totaling $569.3 million became delinquent this month, of which $525.4 million was already with the special servicer. Pembroke Lakes Mall ($260 million in GSMS 2013-PEMB), Sunvalley Shopping Center ($133.9 million in MSBAM 2012-CKSV), and Mall St. Matthews ($120.5 million in two conduits), all of which are with the special servicer, became nonperforming matured balloons. Ten smaller loans ranging from $2.6 million to $20 million totaled $54.9 million also contributed to the total.

In this report, KBRA provides observations across our $336.6 billion rated universe of U.S. private label CMBS including conduits, single-asset single borrower, and large loan transactions.
