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.

Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. Successfully Refinances Loans for Seven Properties

Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. (“SST VI”), a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop”), has successfully refinanced loans on seven of its Canadian properties. This refinancing proactively addresses the loans’ upcoming 2025 maturities while lowering SST VI’s interest rate by approximately 170 basis points (bps) and reduces the annual interest expense by approximately $2.4M CAD as compared to the previous loans.

The refinanced portfolio consists of six properties in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, and one in Vancouver, British Columbia. These properties, acquired in various stages of lease up, have shown strong performance, with average occupancy rising from approximately 58% at acquisition to around 86% as of December 31, 2024. The improved loan terms further reinforce SST VI’s income and growth investment strategy, disciplined acquisition standards and ability to deliver long-term value to its shareholders.

"We are pleased to complete this refinancing, which not only resolves our near-term maturities but also meaningfully reduces our borrowing costs," said H. Michael Schwartz, Chairman and CEO of SST VI. "This transaction highlights our proactive financial management strategy and ongoing efforts to strengthen our balance sheet for sustained growth."

QuadReal Finance, L.P. served as the lender and servicer for the new loan. The refinancing reflects SST VI’s strong credit standing and the confidence of its lending partners. As SST VI continues optimizing its capital structure, the company remains focused on identifying further opportunities to enhance its financial flexibility and operational efficiency.
