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 Investigation of Shareholder Claims Against Dril-Quip, Inc. (DRQ)

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against Dril-Quip, Inc. (“Dril-Quip” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DRQ). The investigation concerns whether Dril-Quip and/or certain of its officers have violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices.

On July 8, 2024, Dril-Quip disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it had identified “an error in the classification of certain inventory write-downs from 2021.” Specifically, the Company disclosed that it “misclassified inventory write-downs from 2021 totaling approximately $67 million, including $19.3 million related to the 2018 global strategic plan and approximately $47.7 million due to the discontinuation of certain product categories under the 2021 global strategic plan. The Company classified these charges as ‘Restructuring and other charges’; however, these charges should have been classified in ‘Cost of sales’ in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, in accordance with ASC 420-10-S99-3. As a result, ‘Cost of sales’ was understated and ‘Restructuring and other charges’ was overstated by $67 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the ‘Affected Period’).” Accordingly, Dril-Quip stated that its previous statements regarding the Affected Period “should no longer be relied upon” and will be restated. Dril-Quip further noted that “the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023 were not effective.” On this news, the price of Dril-Quip shares declined by $1.76 per share, or approximately 9.9%, from $17.77 per share on July 8, 2024 to close at $16.01 on July 9, 2024
