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.

DigitalOcean Announces Closing of $625 Million Convertible Senior Notes Offering, Including Full Exercise of Initial Purchasers’ $75 Million Option to Purchase Additional Notes

DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (“DigitalOcean”) (NYSE: DOCN), today announced the closing of its previously announced offering of $625 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2030, including the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase an additional $75 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. DigitalOcean estimates that the total net proceeds from the offering are approximately $605.6 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by DigitalOcean. The notes will mature on August 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by DigitalOcean. In connection with the pricing of the notes, DigitalOcean entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with an affiliate of one of the initial purchasers and other financial institutions.

DigitalOcean expects to use the net proceeds from the offering to pay the $83.9 million cost of the capped call transactions and the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand and $380 million of term loans under DigitalOcean’s credit facility to repurchase for approximately $1,131.3 million in cash approximately $1,187.7 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2026.

DigitalOcean also recently announced that it has adopted a new stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $100 million of its common stock from time to time through July 31, 2027.

Matt Steinfort, Chief Financial Officer, DigitalOcean, said:

“We are pleased to have successfully raised $625 million in convertible notes - marking a major milestone as we have completed our objective of securing the financing to retire our 2026 convertible notes through a balanced combination of our existing term loan, the recently completed convertible notes, and our cash on hand. Following the completion of this offering, available borrowings remaining under our term loan facility and our cash on hand, together with our anticipated free cash flow, exceeds the outstanding principal balance of our 2026 convertible notes. Having delivered on our commitment to address the 2026 maturity in 2025, we also received board approval to continue our regular share repurchase program with a new $100 million share repurchase authorization through July 31, 2027, which we intend to utilize to mitigate future dilution. These achievements create a strong balance sheet, with low cash interest expense, and protection against future dilution, giving the company tremendous flexibility as we work to deliver on our growth strategy.”

The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States, absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
