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 Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Chase Auto Owner Trust 2025-2

KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to eight classes of notes issued by Chase Auto Owner Trust 2025-2 (“CHAOT 2025-2”), an auto loan ABS transaction. The transaction has initial hard credit enhancement levels ranging from 5.40% for the Class A notes to 0.75% for the Class D notes. Credit enhancement consists of overcollateralization, excess spread, subordination (except for the Class D notes) and a cash reserve account.

CHAOT 2025-2 represents the second term ABS securitization for JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMCB” or the “Bank”) in 2025, and the ninth under the CHAOT shelf. CHAOT 2025-2 will issue seven classes of notes totaling approximately $942.93 million. The transaction will also include an interest-only Class A-IO note which receives interest based on an excess above the servicing fee rate.

The transaction includes an “Aggregate Balance” of $1,000.065 million of automobile loans to primarily prime obligors. The Rated Notes are collateralized by the “Collateral Balance” which represents 95.0% of the Aggregate Balance. The Collateral Balance forms the basis for noteholder payments and all transaction-level calculations, including credit enhancement.

Chase Auto is a national auto finance platform within JPMCB. The business originates and services prime and near-prime retail installment contracts, largely through franchised dealers, and maintains selective private-label relationships with automotive manufacturers. As of August 31, 2025, there were more than 13,000 dealers in JPMCB’s active dealer network.

KBRA applied its Auto Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology, as well as its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology and ESG Global Rating Methodology. In applying the methodology, KBRA analyzed Chase Auto’s static pool data, the underlying collateral pool and the proposed capital structure using stressed cash flow assumptions. KBRA also considered its operational review of JPMCB. Operative agreements and legal opinions will be reviewed prior to closing.
