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.

Kirby McInerney LLP Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (SHLS) Investors

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee on behalf of those who acquired Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (“Shoals” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SHLS) securities during the period of May 17, 2022 through November 7, 2023, inclusive (“the Class Period”). Investors have until May 21, 2024 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

On May 8, 2023, Shoals filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first quarter of 2023 which informed investors of a potential issue involving “a subset of wire harnesses” which presented “excessive pull back of wire insulation at connection points,” which Shoals dubbed “shrinkback.” Shoals sought to ease investors’ concerns by reporting that it had “substantially ceased use of the related wire.”

On November 7, 2023, Shoals filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2023 with the SEC and held an earnings call with investors in which the Company revealed that wire shrinkback affected 30% of Shoals’ harnesses installed between 2020 and 2022, an issue far more severe than previously disclosed. Additionally, Shoals booked a $50.2 million warranty expense for the quarter related to the shrinkback issue and provided a range of potential loss related to the shrinkback issue of $59.7 million to $184.9 million. On this news, the price of Shoals’ shares declined by $3.28 per share, or approximately 20.20%, from $16.23 on November 7, 2023 to close at $12.95 on November 9, 2023.

The lawsuit alleges that during the Class Period, Shoals failed to disclose that: (1) Shoals had received reports of exposed copper conduit in EBOS wire harnesses in numerous solar fields and was aware that a significant portion of its wire harnesses had defects by 2022; (2) Shoals would have to incur between $60 million to $185 million in costs to remediate the wire shrinkback issue; and (3) Shoals had understated its cost of revenue by millions of dollars.

Elrod of Kirby McInerney LLP by email at investigations@kmllp.com, or by filling out this CONTACT FORM, to discuss your rights or interests with respect to these matters without any cost to you.
