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.

KJTS and Stonepeak Form Joint Venture to Pursue District Cooling Projects

By: via Business Wire

Joint venture of up to MYR 1.5 billion (USD ~340 million) aggregate debt and equity commitments

KJTS Group Berhad (“KJTS” or the “Group”) (KLSE: KJTS), a leading provider of energy-efficient cooling solutions and integrated energy management services based in Malaysia, and Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, today announced the creation of a joint venture dedicated to developing and investing in district cooling facilities.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250312607759/en/

The joint venture will initially seek to invest in a diversified portfolio of district cooling and electricity distribution assets in Malaysia. Southeast Asia, one of the hottest regions globally, is a fast-growing market for district cooling. Particularly in Malaysia, industrial urbanization, expanding energy efficiency initiatives, and the rapid buildout of data centers have markedly increased the need for district cooling systems, which are able to reduce total energy consumption by 40-50% relative to traditional cooling methods. The joint venture, expected to be capitalized at MYR 1.5 billion (USD ~340 million), through aggregate commitments from Stonepeak and KJTS and debt funding, will target an actionable addressable market of over MYR 2 billion (USD ~450 million) in project deployment opportunities per year.

“We are thrilled to partner with Stonepeak to pursue additional district cooling and electricity distribution projects in Malaysia,” said Azura Binti Azman, Independent Non-Executive Chairman at KJTS. “This marks a significant partnership that underscores our commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, and a transformative milestone, enabling the Group to accelerate its growth trajectory while advancing our mission to support the national agenda in reducing carbon emissions. Stonepeak represents an ideal partner, bringing important capital, industry relationships, and operational experience in building platforms from the ground up. We look forward to working together to bring dependable, long-term solutions to our customers.”

“District cooling has become an essential piece of the energy transition in Malaysia and Southeast Asia more broadly, given the region’s rising energy demands, and we are seeing the solution being adopted into national climate action plans for many Southeast Asian countries,” said Hajir Naghdy, Senior Managing Director and Head of Asia and the Middle East at Stonepeak. “By partnering with KJTS, a respected operator in Malaysia with a keen understanding of the technicalities and best practices of district cooling, we are positioned well to address the need for this critical infrastructure head-on. We are excited to expand Stonepeak’s portfolio of energy transition platforms within our Asia Infrastructure strategy as the tailwinds in the region remain as strong as ever.”

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. Skrine served as legal counsel to KJTS. Linklaters LLP and Rahmat Lim & Partners served as legal counsel to Stonepeak.
