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.

Octaura Unveils Industry-First Multi-Protocol Trading Platform for Collateralized Loan Obligation Electronic Trading

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Octaura Holdings (“Octaura”) today announced the launch of its Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) electronic trading platform, bringing a new era of innovation to the secondary trading market. This platform expands Octaura’s capabilities to service the structured credit markets, following the launch of its syndicated loan trading platform in 2022.

Designed to remedy structural issues plaguing the CLO market, Octaura’s platform introduces a unified framework that provides transparency and improved execution for participants. Buyside users will have access to streamlined workflows, increasingly reliable data and a marketplace that empowers confident investment decisions. Sellside users will benefit from reduced operational friction and more efficient and productive client relationships.

Octaura launched the platform with three trading protocols: Bilateral, Request for Quote (RFQ) and Lists. Of note, the List protocol brings significant efficiencies to the manually intensive processes associated with trading Bids Wanted in Competition (BWICs). All three CLO trading protocols are now fully available on Octaura after facilitating live transactions with early adopter firms in beta for several months.

“Bringing our CLO platform and BWIC protocol to life is not just a milestone for Octaura, but a significant leap forward for the entire industry. For too long, structural inefficiencies have impeded institutional investors from fully participating in the CLO market. Today, we’re changing that narrative,” said Brian Bejile, CEO of Octaura. “We are committed to building a solution that truly serves the needs of everyone involved in the market.”

With a vision to significantly reduce time associated with facilitating CLO lists and influence growth in secondary trading volume, Octaura’s trading platform will enable participants to:

  • Manage CLO lists, notifications, and bids seamlessly within a centralized system, eliminating the need for cumbersome spreadsheets and complicated tracking processes.
  • Integrate preferred Order Management Systems directly for automated trade booking, reducing errors and increasing efficiency.
  • Access historical data and trade color through Octaura’s secure platform, supporting easy post-trade reference and analysis.
  • Leverage Octaura’s proprietary, real-time trade and price data to empower more informed investment decisions and improved price execution.
  • Tap into the industry’s deepest liquidity pool for CLOs, with a dozen dealers and more than 50 buyside firms onboarded to the platform.

“Earlier this summer we ran our first CLO BWIC using Octaura.  It was amazing to see the CLO secondary market come out of the Stone Age!” said Tom Majewski, Founder and Managing Partner, Eagle Point Credit Management.

Critical to the advancement of the CLO market is accessible and high-quality data and analytics – something top of mind for Octaura as they work with key players in the market like Moody’s to develop a comprehensive end-to-end solution.
