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 Urges Investors in Dentsply Sirona Inc. (XRAY) to Inquire About Their Rights in Class Action Lawsuit

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of those who acquired Dentsply Sirona Inc. (“Dentsply” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XRAY) securities between May 6, 2021, through and including November 6, 2024 (“the Class Period”). Investors have until January 27, 2025, to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

[LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION]

Prior to the start of the Class Period, on December 21, 2020, Dentsply paid $1.04 billion in cash to acquire Byte, a manufacturer of affordable, “doctor-directed,” direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) clear dental aligners.

On October 24, 2024, after markets closed, Dentsply announced the “voluntary suspension of sales and marketing of its Byte Aligners and Impression Kits while the Company conducts a review of certain regulatory requirements related to these products.” In a current report filed with the SEC on Form 8-K after markets closed, Dentsply claimed that the Byte sales and marketing suspension was a precautionary measure. Dentsply further disclosed in the same current report that it “expects to record non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill within the range of $450-550 million for its Orthodontic and Implant Solutions segment,” with the decline being driven “primarily by adverse impacts from recent state regulatory trends” pertaining to the Company’s DTC aligner business. Then, on October 25, 2024, during a “Byte business update call” before markets opened, CEO Simon Campion gave more context about the Byte suspension: “In connection with our ongoing discussions with FDA, we will have determined that our patient onboarding workflow may not provide adequate reassurance that certain contraindicated patients do not enter treatment with Byte Aligners.” As a result of this news, the price of Dentsply shares declined by $1.10 per share, from $24.41 per share on October 24, 2024, to close at $23.31 on October 25, 2024.

On November 7, 2024, Dentsply disclosed in a press release that it had “recorded a non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill of ($495) million net of tax within the Orthodontic and Implant Solution segment.” Later that day, Campion explained that although Dentsply was “not at a point in our analysis to make a definitive decision concerning Byte,” the Company was “thoroughly evaluating strategies options, which may include a discontinuation of some or all of this business.” Campion further added “I just keep in mind the Byte business is having a large impact on our fourth quarter forecast.” On this news, the price of Dentsply shares declined by $6.72 per share, or approximately 28%, from $23.98 per share on November 6, 2024, to close at $17.26 per share on November 7, 2024.
