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 MGP Ingredients, Inc. (MGPI) 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 the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of those who acquired MGP Ingredients, Inc. (“MGP Ingredients” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MGPI) securities during the period from May 4, 2023, through October 30, 2024 (“the Class Period”). Investors have until February 14, 2025, to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

[LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION]

On February 22, 2024, the Company reported its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 and provided guidance for fiscal year 2024. While the results for 2023 exceeded expectations, the 2024 revenue forecast was 4.9% lower than expected. During the earnings call, the Company acknowledged industry reports of ongoing “inventory destocking at a wholesale level” in 2024 and emphasized its efforts to manage wholesaler inventory. CEO David Bratcher also pointed out that over 90% of the Company’s new whiskey sales for 2024 were already locked in, while only about 50% of their older, aged whiskey sales were guaranteed. This shows the Company shifting its focus more toward selling newer whiskey. Despite reassurances that demand remained strong, and the business was positioned for growth, the market reacted negatively. On this news, the price per share of MGP Ingredients declined by $13.65, or approximately 15%, from $91.83 per share on February 21, 2024, to close at $78.14 per share on February 22, 2024.

Then, on October 17, 2024, MGP Ingredients reported preliminary third-quarter results, revealing a 14% decline in sales year-over-year and lowering its fiscal 2024 guidance. The Company cited elevated industry-wide whiskey inventories and slowing demand for brown goods, particularly among craft customers. Analysts criticized the announcement as “breathtaking” and a “material surprise,” with concerns over credibility and visibility into future performance. On this news, MGP Ingredients’ price per share fell by $24.07 per share, or nearly 30%, from $81.57 on October 17, 2024, to close at $57.50 on October 21, 2024.

Furthermore, on October 31, 2024, MGP Ingredients disclosed additional challenges, acknowledging that soft American whiskey trends and excess inventories would require scaling back production. During the earnings call, executives admitted to reduced demand, lower prices, and diminished visibility. On this news, the share price declined by $8.27 per share, or nearly 15%, from $56.31 on October 30, 2024, to close at $48.04 on October 31, 2024.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, MGP Ingredients made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose a slowdown in consumption and oversupply in their brown goods (i.e. American whiskies and tequila products).
