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.

PGIM Real Estate Raises $2B for Final Close of Global Data Center Fund

PGIM Real Estate has completed the fundraise for its first Global Data Center Fund (GDCF) with $2 billion of capital allocated to the strategy. PGIM Real Estate secured capital commitments for the GDCF from a range of global investors.

The Fund has a build-fill-sell investment strategy focused on the low latency hyperscale segment of the global data center sector, targeting opportunistic investment returns. Since its first close in July 2023, the GDCF has been developing a geographically diversified portfolio of assets targeting investments across the major global data center markets of North America, Asia Pacific and Europe. The Fund is managed by a global portfolio management team led by Global Head of Data Center Investments Morgan Laughlin and PGIM Real Estate has over a decade of experience investing in the sector.

The Global Data Center Fund strategy creates value through asset-level development joint ventures with leading data center operators. Retaining an operator-independent approach allows the Fund to access attractive investment opportunities in supply constrained markets through its deep range of operator relationships. ESG considerations are factored into each investment decision with a defined asset allocation to buildings with a green building certificate.

As well as raising capital amongst institutional investors, PGIM Real Estate entered into a distribution partnership with a leading global private bank to raise assets globally for the Fund.

Morgan Laughlin commented: “Successfully reaching our $2 billion target raise is an important milestone that reflects strong investor confidence in the sector and our strategy. Data centers are at the heart of the digital framework that is playing an increasingly critical role across our economy and society. In line with the recognition of the importance of digital infrastructure in our modern lives, global investors are rapidly increasing their exposure to the sector.”

To date, over $450 million of equity capital has been committed to data center investments across PGIM Real Estate, and GDCF retains a strong pipeline of opportunities that is expected to allow it to deploy the remaining capital within the next 18 months.

PGIM Real Estate co-CEO Raimondo Amabile commented: “Congratulations to the team on reaching the final close on our Global Data Center Fund. We see a significant opportunity to develop expertise in the data center space and create a wider digital infrastructure platform. Data centers, and other associated digital infrastructure, offer a generational investment opportunity as the digital demands of our societies and economies continue to expand at an astounding pace.”
