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.

MultiPlan Corporation Announces Settlement of Delaware Litigation

By: via Business Wire

MultiPlan Corporation (NYSE: MPLN) (“MultiPlan” or the “Company”), a leading value-added provider of data analytics and technology-enabled end-to-end cost management, payment and revenue integrity solutions to the U.S. healthcare industry, announced that the Company and certain current and former directors have entered into a settlement agreement to resolve a consolidated class action lawsuit that has been pending since March 2021. The settlement agreement expressly provides that the settlement does not constitute an admission by the defendants or a finding that the claims asserted had any merit, and the defendants continue to strongly deny the allegations of liability in the lawsuit. We expect that, upon approval by the court, the settlement will bring to an end all pending shareholder litigation against the Company and its directors.

As previously disclosed in our SEC filings, a consolidated lawsuit captioned In Re MultiPlan Corp. Stockholders Litigation, C.A. No. 2021-0300-LWW (Del. Ch.) has been proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery related to our October 8, 2020 business combination transaction. Defendants in the lawsuit include the former directors of Churchill Capital III Corp. (now named MultiPlan) as well as affiliates of Churchill III’s sponsor.

On November 17, 2022, the Company and the parties to the lawsuit entered into a settlement agreement to fully and finally resolve the lawsuit. In connection with the settlement, the Company and its insurers, have agreed to pay $33.75 million in exchange for a broad release of all claims related to the business combination and ownership of Churchill III stock and warrants from February 19, 2020 through October 8, 2020. The settlement is being paid pursuant to the Company’s indemnification obligations and from available D&O insurance.

As provided in the settlement agreement, the defendants deny the allegations published by a short-seller which defendants contend formed the basis for Plaintiffs’ claims in the Action. Defendants maintain that the claims brought against them were not true, lack merit, and would have been disproven at trial. The defendants further maintain that they performed appropriate levels of due diligence on legacy MultiPlan, including its key business relationships, with the assistance of numerous expert advisors, before entering into the business combination and that their conduct in pursuing, evaluating and completing the business combination was at all times proper, in the best interests of the Churchill III and its stockholders, and in compliance with applicable law. Nevertheless, the Company and the defendants have determined to enter into the settlement solely to put the Delaware Action to rest, without acknowledging any wrongdoing, fault, liability or damages.

The settlement is subject to court approval. We anticipate that settlement class members will receive notice of the proposed settlement, which will include additional information and details about the proposed settlement. We anticipate, subject to court approval, that the settlement will be finalized in the first half of 2023.
