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.

Indaba Capital Questions Stagwell’s Desired Appointment of Madison Avenue Partners’ Eli Samaha to MDC’s Board Given Apparent Link to Mark Penn

Highlights that Mr. Samaha has Disclosed to Fellow MDC Shareholders, Including Indaba, that Madison’s Principal Investor is a Long-Time Friend of Mr. Penn

Reinforces that Transaction Process is Plagued by Alarming Conflicts and Emerging Interlocks, Which Bode Poorly for the Combined Entity’s Corporate Governance

Indaba Capital Management L.P. (together with its affiliates, “Indaba” or “we”), which is the largest unaffiliated shareholder of MDC Partners Inc. (NASDAQ: MDCA) (“MDC” or the “Company”), today questioned Stagwell Media LP’s (“Stagwell”) announcement of its intention to recommend the appointment of Eli Samaha of Madison Avenue Partners, LP (“Madison”) to the newly-combined entity’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Derek Schrier, Managing Partner of Indaba, commented:

“In direct conversations with Indaba, Mr. Samaha disclosed that Madison’s principal investor is a high school classmate and long-time, ongoing friend of Mark Penn, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MDC and Managing Partner of Stagwell. We have received feedback from other MDC shareholders that Mr. Samaha disclosed similar information to them. Stagwell’s July 15th press release omits Madison’s link to Mr. Penn while boasting that Mr. Samaha ‘will bring strong independent perspective’ to the Board. This seemingly deceptive stunt reinforces to us that this transaction process is plagued by alarming conflicts and concerning interlocks. It gives us great concern that Stagwell and Mr. Penn appear to have disregarded the need for transparency with MDC shareholders when announcing Madison’s support and Mr. Samaha’s possible service as a director.

At bottom, last night’s development reinforces our opposition to the transaction on its current terms. It is clear to us that Mr. Penn will say anything to get his way. This type of operating mentality is a flashing red light when it comes to corporate governance.”
