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.

Court Rules in Litigation Over ASA Gold and Precious Metals Fund Shareholder Rights Plans

By: via Business Wire

Rights Plan Adopted on December 20, 2024 is Deemed Rescinded

The Litigation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ASA Gold and Precious Metals Limited (“ASA” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ASA) announced that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted a motion for summary judgment in litigation over the Company’s limited-duration shareholder rights plans. In its March 28, 2025 ruling, the court held that the Company’s shareholder rights plan adopted on December 20, 2024 (the “December 2024 Rights Plan”) must be rescinded as it violated a requirement under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that rights plans must expire within 120 days of issuance. Accordingly, the December 2024 Rights Plan is no longer in effect. Previously adopted ASA shareholder rights plans had already expired pursuant to their terms.

The litigation is captioned Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd. v. ASA Gold and Precious Metals Ltd., No. 24-CV-690 (SDNY). The Litigation Committee intends to appeal the court’s March 28, 2025 judgment on behalf of the Company.
