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.

Browning West Contends That Gildan Activewear’s Reactionary Sale Process Underscores Why Immediate Board Reconstitution is Required

By: via Business Wire

Browning West, LP (together with its affiliates, “Browning West” or “we”), which is a long-term shareholder of Gildan Activewear Inc. (NYSE: GIL) (TSX: GIL) (“Gildan” or the “Company”) and beneficially owns approximately 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares, today issued the below statement regarding Gildan’s confirmation that it has initiated a sale process.

“Since the onset of our campaign, we have maintained that Gildan is a high-quality business with significant latent earnings power and strong value creation potential under the right Board and management. We are naturally concerned that the Board has initiated a sale process in order to avoid accountability following continuous and growing support for Browning West’s calls for significant Board reconstitution. Based on unsolicited feedback we have received from fellow shareholders, we believe that the Company’s owners would be dismayed at the rumored $42 USD per share indication from a potential buyer, which effectively represents no premium. To put this low price in context, if Glenn Chamandy had not been terminated and the stock had simply performed in line with the most relevant index, it would be worth approximately $42 USD per share today. We believe that the stock will recover to at least this level after our experienced and credible slate is elected in May, and it could, in our view, be worth multiples of that level over the long term.

The Board’s reactionary sale process underscores our message to shareholders last week that a meaningful reconstitution of the Board is immediately required, even before the Annual Meeting in May. Our slate clearly has substantial shareholder backing and is focused on maximizing long-term shareholder value, compared to the current ‘lame duck’ Board which is poorly positioned to evaluate any offers for the Company because: (i) it has already revealed its lack of competence due to its botched CEO succession process, (ii) its standalone plan under weak leadership is likely substantially inferior to any plan executed by our highly qualified slate, and (iii) the Board is entirely focused on avoiding personal accountability at the May 28th meeting rather than strong shareholder outcomes. Under no circumstances can the current Board be trusted to oversee a sale process.”
