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.

Saba Capital Files Lawsuit Against ASA Gold and Precious Metals and its Board of Directors Over Unlawful Shareholder Rights Plan

By: via Business Wire

ASA’s Adoption of a Discriminatory “Poison Pill” Harms Shareholders and Represents a Violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940

Saba Intends to Hold ASA and its Directors – Mary Joan Hoene, Bruce Hansen, William Donovan, Axel Merk and Anthony Artabane – Accountable for Their Punitive, Anti-Shareholder Behavior

Saba Capital Management, L.P. (“Saba” or “we”), which manages certain investment funds that together beneficially own 16.9% of the outstanding shares of ASA Gold and Precious Metals Limited (“ASA” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ASA), today announced that it has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) against ASA and each member of its Board of Directors (Mary Joan Hoene, Bruce Hansen, William Donovan, Axel Merk and Anthony Artabane) regarding their decision to adopt a so-called shareholder rights plan that violates the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “’40 Act”).

Saba is seeking to invalidate the Company’s discriminatory and unlawful shareholder rights plan, which is also known as a poison pill. The litigation follows similar lawsuits that Saba has recently brought and won against BlackRock, Eaton Vance and Nuveen over the use of control share provisions that were found to violate the ’40 Act.

Michael D’Angelo, Partner and General Counsel of Saba, commented:

“By adopting a poison pill that so clearly disregards the ’40 Act, ASA and its Board of Directors have made it clear that their top priorities are entrenchment and fees – not complying with the law and respecting shareholders’ rights. ASA designed the poison pill in a sly and self-serving manner to guarantee that all shareholders will have the potential to suffer greatly, not just Saba. If the poison pill is executed, there will inevitably be massive casualties across the Company’s shareholder base. Shareholders will not only face severe dilution, but ASA has also ensured that the poison pill will create significant economic harm for those shareholders who do not have the financial means to participate in the rights plans.

Specific to Saba, the poison pill targets our right to acquire additional shares in proportion to our holdings of the Company’s common stock – a right that is available to all other shareholders and that we are legally entitled to. This is precisely the type of anti-shareholder behavior and punitive discrimination that the ’40 Act was designed to prevent and which regulators focused on investor protection vehemently oppose.

Shareholders of ASA, or any product managed by its advisor Merk Investments, need to be on high alert. If ASA, its Board, and Axel Merk are willing to break federal law to avoid being held accountable for the Company’s severe long-term underperformance and persistent trading price discount to net asset value, what will they do next? If ASA’s directors truly cared about creating value for shareholders, they would proactively rescind the poison pill and transition their positions to qualified fiduciaries.”
