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 – Structured Credit Trend Watch: Navigating the Crosscurrents

KBRA releases research examining trends across the structured credit landscape. Structured credit and collateralized loan obligation (CLO) issuance volume has remained strong in 2025 despite a choppy macroeconomic environment. After a brief tariff-driven risk-off in the spring that stalled a handful of deals and pushed CLO spreads wider, primary activity reaccelerated throughout the summer on the back of robust demand and heavy reset/refi volumes. By Q3, U.S. broadly syndicated loan (BSL) CLO AAAs tested the mid-120-basis point (bp) range but hovered modestly wider as supply ebbed and flowed. While tariff headlines initially clouded full-year (FY) issuance expectations, global new issue CLO volume of $184 billion through month-end August suggests that a healthy pace has been maintained. Momentum also improved through the summer for private credit (PC) and middle market (MM) CLOs, led by sizable upsized resets and steady new prints from various direct lending platforms. Pricing remains at a premium to BSLs—consistent with the lack of secondary liquidity for MM loans—but has benefited from similar technical tailwinds such as increased demand from exchange-traded funds (ETF) and institutional investors.

In this report, we provide an overview of the overall structured credit market, including new issue deal volume, benchmark spread levels, notable activity, and other trends through Q3 2025. In addition, we provide a recap of KBRA’s year-to-date (YTD) 2025 rating and surveillance activity.
