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.

Albion River Comments on Recent Statement from Ducommun Board

Albion Has Continued to Increase Equity Holdings in Ducommun

Today, Albion River LLC issued the following statement:

“Albion River LLC’s affiliate Ignium LP (“Albion”) continues to acquire shares in Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”) and now owns over 9.2% of the Company’s outstanding shares.1 Albion owns more shares in Ducommun than all of management and the Board of Directors combined.

Ducommun’s stock hit a 52-week high once Albion’s bid was disclosed by the Company. Since then, Ducommun has dropped 11% following the Company’s declaration it “is not for sale”.2 Respectfully, this decision rightfully resides with the owners of the Company, the shareholders.

Albion would like to thank the numerous key stakeholders who have reached out to express their support in our efforts to acquire Ducommun. The Board of Directors has an obligation to evaluate all offers for the Company. Albion encourages management to disclose other offers it may have received that the Board of Directors and public may not be aware of.

The Company’s press release in response to Albion’s bid reflects a belief that $60 / share does not represent fair value. Therefore, consistent with executive compensation best practice, the Company’s Board of Directors should ensure any new stock-based compensation be converted to options at a $60 strike price to limit shareholder dilution and further align management to maximizing shareholder value. Planned stock issuances below $60 are inconsistent with the Company’s stated position as of April 16th.

Albion continues to believe that public markets are not an appropriate setting for Ducommun to execute its strategy and maximize shareholder value. We are committed long-term shareholders of the Company and intend to make our case directly to shareholders in due time.

We look forward to engaging with shareholders and members of the Board of Directors at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on April 24th.”

1 Ducommun ownership percentage information based on the number of shares outstanding as of February 26, 2024, as set forth in Ducommun’s proxy.

2 Based on 52-week high ($58.19) and closing price on April 19, 2024 ($52.02).
