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.

Today, Flat Rock Global, LLC ("Flat Rock Global" or the "Firm") announced the launch of a new interval fund, the Flat Rock Enhanced Income Fund ("the Fund"). The Fund will invest primarily in the junior debt tranches of Collateralized Loan Obligations ("CLOs"), with a particular emphasis on tranches initially rated "BB" by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization3, such as S&P Global Ratings. "Investing in CLO BB notes continues Flat Rock Global's emphasis on investing in niche asset classes we believe may generate innovative risk-adjusted returns," said Robert Grunewald, Founder and CEO of Flat Rock Global. "Our goal is to provide investors with diverse exposure to senior secured loans with the additional benefit of CLO equity providing a buffer against losses," he further commented.

Shiloh Bates, the Fund's Chief Investment Officer, further commented, "CLO BB1 notes have had average annual defaults since 1994 of only 32 basis points2, providing investors with a unique format in which to own private credit."

The Fund is the third interval fund managed by Flat Rock Global, which also manages the Flat Rock Opportunity Fund and the Flat Rock Core Income Fund. The Firm had over $550 million in assets under management on Dec. 31, 2022.

The Fund is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as a continuously offered, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund. The Fund uses the ticker symbol FRBBX. Ultimus Fund Distributors serves as the Fund's principal underwriter.
