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.

The RMR Group Announces $1.0 Billion Refinancing of Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ Headquarters in Boston Seaport District

The RMR Group (Nasdaq: RMR) today announced on behalf of its managed joint venture that it has facilitated a $1.0 billion five-year, interest-only fixed rate mortgage financing with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.5957%, secured by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated’s (“Vertex”) 1.1 million square foot headquarters at 50 Northern Avenue and 11 Fan Pier Boulevard in the Boston Seaport district. The financing proceeds will primarily be used to repay the existing $620 million fixed rate mortgage financing on the property with an anticipated repayment date in 2026, fund leasing reserves, and repatriate cash. The lease with Vertex for the property was recently extended for approximately 15 years and now expires in June 2044.

Adam Portnoy, President and Chief Executive Officer of RMR, made the following statement:

“RMR is pleased to have facilitated this refinancing for our private capital clients following a long-term lease extension by the anchor tenant. This financing allows us to recapitalize the joint venture’s debt at a leverage level appropriate for a well leased, high quality asset, while capitalizing outstanding tenant inducements associated with the lease extension, and securing a competitive fixed interest rate.”

The properties leased to Vertex are owned by a joint venture, for which RMR provides asset and property management services. The primary owners of the venture are private institutional investors and Diversified Healthcare Trust (Nasdaq: DHC), an RMR client, owns a 10% equity interest. Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Bank of Montreal, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan provided the financing, represented by Dechert LLP. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as legal counsel to the borrower in this transaction.
