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.

STT GDC Issues S$450M Sustainability-Linked Perpetual Securities to Drive Sustainability Initiatives and Fuel Global Expansion

STT GDC sets industry benchmarks in sustainable financing as the first sustainability linked perpetual issuance in Asia.

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 10 January 2024 - ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), one of the world's fastest growing data centre providers, announced that it has on 8 January 2024 issued S$450 million of Sustainability-Linked Perpetual (SLP) securities under the company's S$1.5 billion multicurrency debt issuance programme. The SLP is priced at 5.7% after a strong book building process. Net proceeds from the SLP will be used for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to refinancing of existing borrowings and financing of investments, acquisitions, general working capital and/or capital expenditure of the company and its subsidiaries.

This is STT GDC's debut perpetual securities offering and marks several firsts in the industry -- the first Singapore dollar denominated SLP, the first public benchmark SLP in Asia, as well as the first public perpetual by a pure play data centre globally.

In 2022, STT GDC published a Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework that transforms the company's commitment to be net carbon-neutral by 2030 into concrete action plans, through the issuance of sustainability-linked financial solutions including but not limited to, bonds and loans. The framework upholds STT GDC's sustainability commitments with stringent Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Sustainability Performance Targets (SPTs), ensuring advancement of mid-to long-term sustainability goals. The SLP is aligned to STT GDC's sustainability strategy, with STT GDC having set a sustainability performance target of increasing the percentage of renewable energy in total electricity consumption to 60% by 2026.

This SLP will fuel STT GDC's global growth plans, particularly to strengthen its geographical reach, as well as meet future demands for purpose-built digital infrastructure. The global surge in data, AI, and machine learning is driving demand for data centres; IDC1 predicts 291 zettabytes (ZB) of digital data to be generated in 2027, driven by enterprise data growing at a 28% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Southeast Asia is seeing a rise in data centre investments to meet this demand; highlighted by STT GDC's recent investments in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia.

"The strong response from the investor community for our maiden perpetual securities issuance is testament to our commitment to achieve our growth and expansion strategy while not compromising our sustainability goals," said Nelson Lim, Group Chief Financial Officer, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres. "Our inaugural SLP issuance, leveraging on our Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework, attracted keen interest from investors, including top-tier institutional investors, seeing a book-building process that saw strong demand from top-tier institutional investors, reflected in the peak order book in excess of S$1 billion."

This announcement is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor is it an offer, solicitation, or sale of the Series 003 Perpetual Securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
