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.

Commerce Bancshares, Inc. Announces Visa Inc.’s Acceptance of Class B-1 Common Stock and Investment Securities Repositioning

Commerce Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBSH) announced today that Visa Inc. has accepted the company’s tender of its 823,447 shares of Visa Class B-1 common stock in exchange for a combination of Visa Class B-2 common stock and Visa Class C common stock.

As a result of the exchange, Commerce marked its Visa Class C common stock to fair value and recorded a gain of $175.5 million based on the conversion privilege of the Visa Class C common stock and the closing price of Visa Class A common stock on May 3, 2024 of $268.49 per share. The company’s Visa Class C shares are expected to continue to be marked to fair value on a recurring basis using the Visa Class A shares as evidence of orderly transactions between market participants for similar securities issued by Visa.

Subsequent to the successful close of the Exchange Offer, the company approved a plan to reposition a portion of its available for sale debt securities portfolio through the sale of securities with an amortized cost of approximately $1.0 billion. The securities that the company plans to sell have a yield of approximately 2.0%, which is expected to result in a loss of approximately $165 million, and the company expects to reinvest the proceeds mostly into investment securities yielding approximately 4.6%. The company expects the repositioning to increase net interest income, reduce interest rate risk to lower rates, and improve the quality of the Company's pledgeable investment securities. The timing and amount of the loss ultimately realized on the available for sale debt securities and the reinvestment assumptions may depend on many considerations, including market conditions, the future price of Visa Class A common stock, and other factors.

Details of the exchange and repositioning can be found on pages 21 and 22 of Commerce Bancshares, Inc.’s Form 10-Q, for the quarter ending March 31, 2024.
