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.

First Republic Bank (FRC) Class Action Alert: Robbins LLP Reminds Investors of Lead Plaintiff Deadline in First Republic Bank Securities Class Action

Robbins LLP reminds investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired First Republic Bank (NYSE: FRC) securities between January 14, 2021 and March 14, 2023. First Republic is a California state-chartered bank and trust company that provides private banking, private business banking, and private wealth management.

What is this Case About: First Republic Bank (FRC) Made False and Misleading Statements Regarding its Ability to Deliver Consistent Growth and Performance Through Diversification

According to the complaint, during the class period defendants failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business and operations. Specifically, defendants misrepresented the strength of the Company’s balance sheet and liquidity position, while also understating the significant pressure rising interest rates posed to First Republic’s business model. Defendants also misrepresented the strength of the Company’s ability to deliver consistent results across different interest rate environments, the diversity of the Company’s deposit funding base, and the Company’s ability to generate net interest income growth and maintain a stable net interest margin.

On October 14, 2022, after announcing disappointing third quarter 2022 financial results, the price of First Republic stock fell $22.14 per share, or more than 16%, to close at $112.59 per share.

Then, on March 10, 2023, SVB Financial Group, the parent company of Silicon Valley Bank and a peer bank of First Republic, collapsed, causing investors to question First Republic's ability to withstand the interest rate environment and remain insolvent. On this news, the price of First Republic common stock declined by $83.79 per share, or more than 72% over three trading sessions, to close at $31.21 per share on March 13, 2023.

Despite statements from First Republic and its executives confirming the stability of the Company’s business model, investors learned more about First Republic’s vulnerability on March 15, 2023, when S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) downgraded its long-term issuer credit rating and preferred stock issue rating for First Republic due to the risks of deposit outflows leading to increased funding costs. That same day, Fitch Ratings announced that it had also downgraded First Republic’s credit rating, observing that “FRC’s funding and liquidity profile has changed and represents a ‘weakest link.’” On this news, the price of First Republic common stock declined by $8.47 per share, or more than 21%, from a closing price of $39.63 per share on March 14, 2023, to a closing price $31.16 per share on March 15, 2023.

What Now: Similarly situated shareholders may be eligible to participate in the class action against First Republic. Shareholders who want to act as lead plaintiff for the class must file their papers by June 23, 2023.

If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. For more information, click here.
