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.

State Street Becomes First Third-Party Custodian to Launch on J.P. Morgan’s Digital Debt Service, Bringing Blockchain-Based Debt Securities Custody to Institutional Clients

  • State Street brings custody capabilities to J.P. Morgan’s Digital Debt Service, with State Street Investment Management participating as the anchor investor in the platform’s inaugural commercial paper transaction by Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC). J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as placement agent.
  • Integration with the Digital Debt Service enables seamless custody of tokenized debt securities issued, settled, and serviced using blockchain technology, and digital cash settlement with fully automated technical connectivity and no manual intervention required.
  • In this solution, the depository record of the debt securities held by State Street on behalf of its clients is maintained in a digital wallet through J.P. Morgan’s  Digital Debt Service, which is built on J.P. Morgan’s multi-asset tokenization platform, Kinexys Digital Assets. The Debt Service facilitates the issuance, delivery-versus-payment settlement, and lifecycle management of debt securities.

State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) announced today that it has become the first third-party custodian to launch on J.P. Morgan’s Digital Debt Service, marking a significant milestone in the institutional adoption of blockchain-based debt securities. This strategic collaboration enables State Street to offer custody services for debt securities that are issued, settled and serviced using blockchain technology, delivering a seamless and efficient client experience. The service is currently available only in the U.S.

This milestone was marked by the successful purchase of a $100M commercial paper transaction with State Street Investment Management, the asset management business of State Street Corporation. The transaction demonstrates the Digital Debt Service’s ability to modernize short-term debt markets by enabling precision-timed settlement, with T+0 settlement available as an option. As an onboarded custodian to J.P. Morgan’s Digital Debt Service, State Street can now offer clients access to blockchain-based debt instruments while maintaining the security and regulatory compliance standards expected from traditional custody services.

The transaction also demonstrates the full integration of State Street’s capabilities across the investment lifecycle, with State Street Investment Management serving as the front-office investor and State Street providing middle and back office functionality.

“Through our direct participation in J.P. Morgan’s Digital Debt Service, we are advancing our ability to deliver a fully integrated front-, middle-, and back-office solution built on blockchain technology,” said Donna Milrod, Chief Product Officer at State Street. “This launch reflects a meaningful step forward in our digital strategy — where we manage a digital wallet on-chain and lay the groundwork for interoperability across blockchain networks. It’s also a clear demonstration of our ‘One State Street’ approach, combining institutional-grade infrastructure with emerging digital capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our clients.”

State Street has been at the forefront of institutional digital asset adoption with a goal of providing clients an integrated business and operating model that supports the digital investment lifecycle. The integration with J.P. Morgan allows State Street to offer clients seamless custody experience that incorporates blockchain-based debt instruments without altering their established servicing model, including:

  • Precision-Timed Settlement: Settlement infrastructure enables precision and reliability with reduced counterparty risk
  • Streamlined Lifecycle Management: Smart contracts streamline payments, redemptions, and other corporate actions automatically

“This partnership with J.P. Morgan’s Digital Debt Service represents a transformative movement for institutional asset management,” said Pia McCusker, global head of Cash Management for State Street Investment Management. “Our successful investment in the first commercial paper transaction in blockchain format for our Short Term Investment Fund demonstrates the tangible benefits this technology brings to our clients and positions them at the forefront of the digital transformation in fixed income markets.”

“Digital asset adoption and investment continues to increase across financial markets globally. As first movers in this space, J.P. Morgan’s Digital Debt Service application is a significant advancement in the evolution of digital issuances, providing clients with the opportunity to explore the use of blockchain in unlocking ecosystem-wide efficiencies across capital markets and the lifecycle of bond,” said Emma Lovett, Credit Lead for the Markets Digital Assets Team, J.P. Morgan. “State Street’s participation as a custodian on our application demonstrates another meaningful step forward in the institutional adoption of blockchain-based debt securities.”
