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.

Charles River Associates (CRA) Announces Final Results of Its Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer

Charles River Associates (NASDAQ: CRAI), a worldwide leader in providing economic, financial, and management consulting services, today announced the results of its previously announced modified “Dutch auction” self-tender offer to purchase for cash up to $25 million in value of shares of its common stock at a price not less than $66.25 and not greater than $76.00 per share. The tender offer expired at 5:00 pm, Eastern Time, on Monday, April 5, 2021.

Based on the final count by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the tender offer, a total of 417,300 shares of common stock were duly tendered and not withdrawn at or below the purchase price of $74.00. Because the number of shares tendered exceeds $25 million in value, the tender offer is oversubscribed. Therefore, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the tender offer, CRA will purchase shares of common stock from all tendering shareholders (excluding odd lots and conditional tenders where the condition was not satisfied) on a pro rata basis, disregarding fractions. Accordingly, on a pro rata basis, approximately 79.4% of shares of common stock for each shareholder (excluding odd lots) who properly tendered shares at or below the purchase price of $74.00 have been accepted for payment. In the aggregate, 337,837 shares of common stock were purchased at the same price of $74.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer.

CRA will promptly pay for the common stock with funds borrowed under its revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Following consummation of the tender offer, CRA will have approximately 7.3 million shares of common stock outstanding. Any questions about the tender offer should be directed to the information agent, Georgeson LLC at (800) 676-0098.
