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.

HanesBrands Announces Planned Leadership Succession

Board Initiates Search for Hanes’ Next CEO

Steve Bratspies to Continue as CEO and Director Until Year-End or Successor Appointed

HanesBrands (NYSE: HBI), a global leader in iconic apparel brands, today announced that Steve Bratspies will depart as Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the end of 2025, or upon the appointment of his successor. As part of the Company’s leadership succession planning process, the Board has begun a comprehensive search to identify the Company’s next CEO and has retained Spencer Stuart, a leading executive search firm, to support its work. Bratspies will step down from the Board of Directors concurrent with the end of his tenure as CEO. He will stay on in an advisory role once a new CEO is named to support a smooth transition.

“Having reached a positive and important inflection point in executing our strategy and looking ahead to the next leg of the Company’s journey, the Board, in concurrence with Steve, has decided that now is the right time to initiate a search for our next CEO. We are actively searching for the next leader who will continue building on our momentum for the next chapter of the Company’s growth. We will provide updates as appropriate,” said Bill Simon, Chairman of the Board. “On behalf of the entire Board, we deeply appreciate the transformative leadership Steve has demonstrated throughout his tenure as CEO to make HanesBrands a new and better company. Steve led HanesBrands through a turbulent period in our industry, overhauling the Company’s operating model, completing the sale of the Champion business and positioning HanesBrands as a global powerhouse in basics and innerwear. Under Steve’s leadership, the Company has narrowed its focus and is now on track to deliver even stronger performance and increased shareholder returns in the coming years.”

“Leading HanesBrands over the past five years has been an honor,” said Bratspies. “Since joining as CEO, working alongside our talented global team, we have significantly simplified and strengthened our business. HanesBrands today is a more consumer-centric global operating company better prepared and strategically positioned to leverage our brands, innovation, marketing, talent, and supply chain capabilities around the world. Our business is delivering more consistent top line growth, higher margins, and strong cash generation and has multiple levers to unlock shareholder value. I am proud of the actions we have taken, what this organization has achieved together, and how HanesBrands is ready for the future.”

Bratspies continued, “I look forward to working closely with the Board as it conducts a search to identify my successor. I am committed to continuing to lead our global team in delivering for our consumers and retail partners and advancing our growth initiatives.”

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “could,” “will,” “expect,” “outlook,” “potential,” “project,” “estimate,” “future,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar expressions. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements regarding our business and the long-term goals and trends associated with our business and the expected timing and benefits of the planned management transition are forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by such statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, trends associated with our business; our ability to successfully implement our strategic plans, including our supply chain restructuring and consolidation and other cost savings initiatives; trends associated with our business; the rapidly changing retail environment and the level of consumer demand; the effects of any geopolitical conflicts (including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and Middle East conflicts) or public health emergencies or severe global health crises, including effects on consumer spending, global supply chains, critical supply routes and the financial markets; our ability to deleverage on the anticipated time frame or at all; any inadequacy, interruption, integration failure or security failure with respect to our information technology; future intangible assets or goodwill impairment due to changes in our business, market condition or other factors, significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; legal, regulatory, political and economic risks related to our international operations; our ability to effectively manage our complex international tax structure; our future financial performance; and other risks identified from time to time in our most recent Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Because it is not possible to predict or identify all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect future results, the above list should not be considered a complete list. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Hanesbrands undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
