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.

UPCOMING DEADLINE: Sleep Number Corp. Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit – SNBR

Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers of Sleep Number Corporation (NASDAQ: SNBR) common stock between February 18, 2021 and July 20, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”) have until February 14, 2022 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in Steamfitters Local 449 Pension & Retirement Security Funds v. Sleep Number Corporation, No. 21-cv-02669 (D. Minn.). Commenced by Robbins Geller on December 14, 2021, the Sleep Number class action lawsuit charges Sleep Number and certain of its top executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud. You can view a copy of the complaint by clicking here.

If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Sleep Number class action lawsuit, please provide your information by clicking here. You can also contact attorney J.C. Sanchez of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at jsanchez@rgrdlaw.com. Lead plaintiff motions for the Sleep Number class action lawsuit must be filed with the court no later than February 14, 2022.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Sleep Number is best known for its Sleep Number 360® smart beds which employ Sleep Number’s SleepIQ® technology to automatically adjust the mattress’s firmness, comfort, and support as one sleeps. In an effort to differentiate Sleep Number from its competitors and to justify Sleep Number’s high stock price, Sleep Number repeatedly touted its “vertical integration” strategy as a key competitive advantage that enabled Sleep Number to manage its inventory and meet customer demand on a timely and profitable basis.

The Sleep Number class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) Sleep Number had suffered a severe disruption in its supply chain for foam as a result of Winter Storm Uri; (ii) Sleep Number did not have in place the supply chain flexibility, redundancies, and fail-safes, as had been represented to investors, sufficient to offset the foam supply disruption caused by Winter Storm Uri; (iii) because foam was a necessary component for Sleep Number’s production of its primary mattress products, Sleep Number’s ability to timely fulfill customer orders had been materially impaired; (iv) thus, Sleep Number was unable to meet surging customer demand for Sleep Number’s products; and (v) that, as a result, Sleep Number had been forced to delay mattress shipments to end consumers, pushing millions of dollars’ worth of sales into subsequent quarters and negatively impacting Sleep Number’s financial results.

On April 21, 2021, Sleep Number revealed that Sleep Number had missed consensus sales estimates for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 as a result of significant supply chain disruptions. Specifically, Sleep Number disclosed that Sleep Number had “more than $50 million of deliveries (two weeks) shifted out of the quarter due to temporary foam supply constraints,” representing nearly 9% of Sleep Number’s entire sales for the quarter. On this news, the price of Sleep Number stock fell by nearly 12%.

Then, on July 20, 2021, Sleep Number revealed that Sleep Number had missed consensus estimates on the top and bottom line for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 and again blamed the disappointing results in significant part on “near-term supply constraints” and component shortages. On this news, the price of Sleep Number stock fell by nearly 13%, further damaging investors.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Sleep Number common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Sleep Number class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Sleep Number class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Sleep Number class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the Sleep Number class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
