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.

NCV, NCZ Announce Reverse Stock Splits and Monthly Distributions

Virtus Convertible & Income Fund (NYSE: NCV) and Virtus Convertible & Income Fund II (NYSE: NCZ) announced today that their Boards of Trustees approved a 1-for-4 reverse stock split for each Fund effective on or about the start of trading on Monday, February 10, 2025 (“Effective Date”).

The Funds’ common shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis with new CUSIPs when the market opens on the Effective Date and one new share will be issued for every four outstanding common shares currently outstanding of NCV and NCZ. Shareholders will be paid in cash for any fractional shares that may result from the reverse stock split (the “Transaction”). Immediately following the Transaction, each shareholder of record will hold the same percentage of their Fund’s outstanding common stock after the Transaction as held immediately prior to the Transaction and will receive the same monthly cash flow from distributions on net asset value, subject to adjustments for the intended cash repurchase of fractional shares resulting from the Transaction.

The Transaction is expected to result in a higher per-share market price for each Fund’s common shares. The Board believes that increasing the per-share market price may broaden the range of potential investors in each Fund’s shares, thereby potentially improving the market for, and liquidity of, the Funds’ common stock. In addition, the Transaction may benefit shareholders and the Funds by reducing certain per-share transaction fees and other administrative costs, such as stock exchange listing fees.

Each Fund will retain its trading symbol but will be assigned a new CUSIP number, which will be announced prior to the Transaction and will become effective on the Effective Date.
