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.

BlueLinx Announces New Asset Based Lending Facility

BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (NYSE: BXC), a leading U.S. wholesale distributor of building products, today announced that it has executed an agreement that provides the Company with a new five year, $350 million syndicated secured asset based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”), with an option to increase the total commitments under the ABL Facility by up to $300 million subject to certain conditions, including consent from the lenders providing the incremental commitments. The ABL facility, which matures on August 27, 2030, replaces the Company’s existing $350 million credit facility which expired on August 2, 2026. The new ABL Facility closed on August 27, 2025, and is currently unfunded.

“We are pleased to have completed this new financing, and with continued favorable terms,” said C. Kelly Wall, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer at BlueLinx. “Combined with our strong cash position, the Company continues to have total liquidity of approximately $730 million and tremendous flexibility to execute on our strategic growth initiatives. We would like to thank both our current and new lenders for their support, as well as their confidence in our long-term strategy, and we look forward to continuing to partner with them in the future.”

Bank of America, N.A., Administrative Agent, and Citizens Bank N.A. and Truist Securities, Inc. acted as the joint lead arrangers and joint book runners for the syndicated credit facility.
