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.

Dingdong Shareholder Update: Robbins LLP Reminds Investors of Class Action Against Dingdong Ltd. (DDL)

The Class: Shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP reminds investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Dingdong Ltd. (NYSE: DDL) American Depository Shares ("ADS") pursuant or traceable to the Company's June 2021 initial public offering ("IPO"), for violations of the Securities Act of 1933. Dingdong purports to be a leading and the fastest growing on-demand e-commerce company in China.

What is this Case About: Dingdong Ltd. (DDL) Misrepresented the Quality of its Food Products

According to the complaint, in June 2021, defendants issued approximately 4.07 million ADS to the investing public at $23.50 per ADS, all pursuant to the Registration Statement.

According to the Registration Statement, Dingdong’s mission is to “make fresh groceries as available as running water to every household.” To achieve this end, Dingdong has purportedly “embraced a user-centric philosophy” that is committed to “directly providing users and households . . . fresh produce, meat and seafood and other daily necessities through a convenient and excellent shopping experience supported by an extensive self-operated frontline fulfillment grid.” Critically, Dingdong differentiates itself from its competitors by claiming to “procure . . . products primarily from direct upstream sources such as farms and cooperatives,” “apply stringent quality control across [its] entire supply chain to ensure product quality to [its] users,” and rely on its “frontline fulfillment grid and robust, digitalized fulfillment capabilities . . . [to] deliver . . . orders within 30 minutes.”

Unbeknownst to prospective investors, however, the Registration Statement misrepresented Dingdong’s commitment to ensuring the safety and quality of the food it distributes to the market. In fact, Dingdong was actively flouting its food safety responsibilities, by selling, for example, dead fish to customers while marketing it as live fish and recycling vegetables that were past their sell-by date. These issues were occurring with enough frequency that Chinese regulators began scrutinizing Dingdong’s supply chain inputs, including its own facilities, which was likely to (and did) negatively impact Dingdong’s business, operations, and reputation.

Soon the media began reporting on the issues. On March 17, 2022, a Beijing News published a report stating that Chinese regulators launched a probe into the Company for food safety violations uncovered by the local news. According to the report, “Dingdong replaced labels on expired vegetables and sold frozen fish products as fresh.” On this news, the price of Dingdong’s ADS declined over 10.8%, to close at $3.79 per ADS on March 17, 2022. By the commencement of the class action, Dingdong’s shares traded as low as $2.51 per ADS, representing a decline of over 89% from the $23.50 IPO offering price.

Next Steps: If you acquired shares of Dingdong Ltd. pursuant to the Company's IPO, you have until October 25, 2022, to ask the court to appoint you lead plaintiff for the class. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery.

All representation is on a contingency fee basis. Shareholders pay no fees or expenses.
