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.

LEXINGTON, Mass. and AMSTERDAM, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- uniQure N.V. (Nasdaq: QURE), a leading gene therapy company advancing transformative therapies for patients with severe medical needs, today announced it entered into a $175 million non-dilutive senior secured term loan facility with Hercules Capital, Inc. (NYSE: HTGC). The transaction is designed to enhance the company’s financial flexibility to fund the potential commercial launch of AMT-130, its investigational gene therapy for the treatment of Huntington’s disease.

“This non-dilutive financing keeps funds from the outstanding $50 million debt available until 2030 and provides access to an additional $125 million. We believe this transaction enhances our financial flexibility to fund the potential commercial launch of AMT-130 in the United States, anticipated in 2026,” said Christian Klemt, chief financial officer of uniQure.

The loan facility consists of three tranches, including a first tranche of $50 million refinancing the current debt outstanding at closing and an additional term loan tranche of $100 million, which can be drawn at the company’s option subject to the achievement of both a regulatory milestone related to AMT-130 and a financial milestone. A third tranche of up to $25 million is available, subject to Hercules’ approval. All tranches have a floating interest rate of the greater of 9.45% and the prime rate plus 2.45%, reflecting a current floating rate of 9.70%, compared to the current floating interest rate prior to the refinancing, which would have been 11.95%. The tranches mature in October 2030.

Leerink Partners served as exclusive financial advisor to uniQure on the term loan financing.
