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.

Educational Development Corporation Announces Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement Which Establishes $10,000,000 Term Loan #2

By: Newsfile

Tulsa, Oklahoma--(Newsfile Corp. - November 24, 2021) - Educational Development Corporation (NASDAQ: EDUC) ("EDC") (http://www.edcpub.com) today announced the execution of the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.

Craig White, CEO of Educational Development Corporation, announced that the Company has executed the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with its primary lender. The Amendment modifies the Loan Agreement, establishing Term Loan #2 in the principal amount of $10,000,000, amends the definition of LIBO Rate and LIBOR Margin and adds Benchmark Replacement Provisions.

Per Mr. White, "During fiscal 2021, we paid off approximately $9.3 million of long-term debt due to our increased cash flows and reduced inventory levels. In addition, in fiscal 2022, we amended our existing debt agreements to reduce the fixed rate on our remaining $10.9 million of long-term debt from 4.22% to 3.12%. Each of these actions reflect not only the strength of our cash flows but also the positive relationship we have with our bank. This new $10.0 million loan replaces last year's early debt extinguishment and will increase the availability on our $20 million line of credit used to finance our increased inventory levels. We expect our inventory levels to return to back to normalized levels during calendar 2022 and provide liquidity that will allow us to pay down our line of credit and continue our past practices of effective cash allocations including dividends, stock repurchases, debt extinguishments and acquisitions."
