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.

Kent Lake Issues Statement on Quanterix’s Blatant Disregard for Will of Shareholders

By: via Business Wire

It is Deeply Disturbing, in Kent Lake’s View, that the Company’s Amended Agreement to Merge with Akoya Deprives Quanterix Shareholders of Ability to Vote on the Transaction

Believes Quanterix’s Maneuvers Further Demonstrate the Need for New Directors with Real Credibility and Accountability to Shareholders – And Will Press on With Nominations of Three Highly Qualified Board Candidates

Kent Lake PR LLC (“Kent Lake”), a holder of approximately 7.7% of the outstanding common stock of Quanterix Corporation (“Quanterix” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: QTRX), today issued the following statement regarding the Company’s announcement of an amended merger agreement (the “Amended Merger Agreement”) related to its proposed merger (the “Merger”) with Akoya Biosciences (“Akoya”) (NASDAQ: AKYA):

“Quanterix’s decision to press on with the Merger in the face of significant public shareholder opposition is bad enough. What is even more egregious is the fact that the Company will no longer provide shareholders with the opportunity to vote on the Merger. This shocking disenfranchisement indicates a blatant disregard for the will of shareholders and a complete lack of accountability on the part of the Company’s Board of Directors – especially since vote reports showed the proposal for the Merger losing by a nearly 3-1 margin.

In its press release yesterday, Quanterix Chief Executive Officer Masoud Toloue stated that “the strategic merits of the transaction remain strong.”1 Unfortunately for Dr. Toloue, the steep decline in Quanterix’s stock price and enterprise value – which are down 48% and over 100%, respectively, since the Merger was announced, tell a different story.2 If the Company truly believes in the merits of the transaction, why is it afraid to let shareholders vote on it?

We believe that it is no longer possible to trust a Board that negotiated such a value-destructive transaction in the first place and that has now decided to ignore the concerns of major shareholders. Quanterix’s directors have proven themselves unable to represent the best interests of shareholders. This situation makes the need for boardroom change even more pressing, and we will continue our efforts to elect the three highly qualified individuals we have nominated to the Board at this year’s Annual Meeting. We look forward to communicating further in the weeks to come.”
