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 1st Amendment to Real Estate Contract and Receipt of Buyers Intent to Proceed with Purchase of Real Estate

By: Newsfile

Tulsa, Oklahoma--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2025) - Educational Development Corporation (NASDAQ: EDUC) ("EDC", the "Company" or "Seller") (http://www.edcpub.com) announced that on October 1, 2025, the Company and 10Mark 10K Industrial, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Buyer") executed the 1st Amendment to the Commercial Real Estate Contract ("Contract") for the Hilti complex, (the "Complex") extending the term of the initial 45 day due diligence period from October 2, 2025 to October 6, 2025 and reduced the purchase price of the Hilti Complex to $32,200,000.

October 6, 2025, the Company received the Buyer's Notice to Proceed pursuant to the Contract. This notice to proceed, subject to certain conditions, waives the Buyer's right to the escrow outlined in the Contract.

Per Craig White, President and Chief Executive Officer of Educational Development Corporation, "Over the last several weeks we have been working with the buyer to resolve certain issues associated with the sale of the Hilti Complex. Today, I am pleased to announce that we have received notice from the buyer of their intention to close on the transaction. The proceeds from the sale will be used to pay back our outstanding balances owed to our bank. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur within the remaining 45 days period outlined in the original Contract."

"Selling the Hilti Complex and reducing our borrowings is in the best interest of our shareholders, and we expect to have limited working capital borrowings going forward. The interest saved on the reduced borrowings will exceed our monthly rental payments and we will no longer have monthly mortgage payments, providing an immediate improvement to our monthly cashflows. We also expect our cashflow from operations to be very strong in the upcoming years as we convert our excess inventory into cash."

The Complex consists of multiple buildings totaling 402,000 square feet of rentable office and warehouse space on 37-acres. Approximately 183,800 square feet of the Hilti Complex is occupied by Hilti under a 15-year lease. In addition, approximately 110,000 square feet of the Hilti Complex is occupied by Crusoe Energy under a 10-year lease. At closing, EDC will assign the existing third-party tenant leases to the Buyer and will execute a separate Triple-Net Lease (the "Lease") for its occupied space in the Hilti Complex.
