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.

LivaNova to Wind Down Advanced Circulatory Support Business Unit

Move Reinforces Focus on Core Cardiopulmonary and Neuromodulation Businesses

ACS Standalone Cannulae Products and Accessories to Transition Into Cardiopulmonary Business Unit

LivaNova PLC (Nasdaq: LIVN), a market-leading medical technology company, today announced that it will commence immediately with an orderly wind down of the Advanced Circulatory Support (ACS) Business Unit to increase the Company’s strategic focus on its core Cardiopulmonary (CP) and Neuromodulation Business Units. ACS generated approximately 4% of net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The wind down is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2024.

The Company will retain all ACS standalone cannulae products and related accessories, including ProtekDuo™, transseptal (TandemHeart™), arterial and venous cannulae, along with corresponding insertion kits, which will all be transitioned into the CP Business Unit product portfolio during the first quarter of 2024. Operations and service for other ACS product lines, including LifeSPARC™ and Hemolung™ Systems, will be discontinued by the end of the year. The Company expects to support scheduled service for the LifeSPARC and Hemolung platforms through the end of 2024.

“LivaNova is committed to managing our portfolio and resources toward the highest growth and return opportunities for shareholders,” said William Kozy, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board. “We have worked steadily to generate enhanced value from the ACS business. After careful consideration, we determined that exiting ACS and focusing resources on our CP and Neuromodulation businesses creates greater innovation opportunities for our customers, their patients and shareholders. The ACS cannulae are profitable and enjoy a strong and differentiated market position, reinforcing our confidence that the transition of cannulae products and support will further strengthen the CP portfolio.”

Kozy added, “We value the ACS team’s efforts and commitment to helping improve the condition of patients and are grateful to have served customers who used the LifeSPARC platform to support their patients over the years. We will aim to make this transition as seamless as possible for our customers and employees.”

In connection with the wind down of the ACS business and transition of certain products into CP, the Company expects to record a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of up to approximately $110 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company also expects to incur restructuring charges in the range of approximately $15 million to $20 million. The majority of restructuring charges and related future cash payments are anticipated to be recognized and paid out during 2024. The Company expects the wind down to result in a positive contribution to adjusted operating income in 2024 as compared to 2023.

Additional details will be provided in a filing on Form 8-K today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and during the Company’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 earnings conference call scheduled for February 21, 2024.
