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.

JANA Partners Sends Open Letter to Shareholders Reporting Overwhelming Support for Significant Board Change at Lamb Weston

Recent Third-Party Shareholder Study Found Over 80% of Surveyed Shareholders Support a Significant Overhaul of the Board

Majority of Shareholders Surveyed Support a Complete Board Overhaul

JANA Partners (“JANA”), which together with its strategic and operating partners owns approximately 7% of Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LW) (“Lamb Weston” or the “Company”) and is one of the Company’s largest shareholders, today sent the following open letter to the Company’s shareholders.

The full text of the letter is as follows:

June 3, 2025

Fellow Lamb Weston Shareholders,

JANA Partners (“JANA,” “we” or “us”), together with its strategic and operating partners, beneficially owns approximately 7% of Lamb Weston (the “Company”). We are writing to report the overwhelming shareholder support for significant boardroom change at the Company. The urgent need for change to Lamb Weston’s Board of Directors (“Board”) is glaringly obvious given its failures to adequately oversee operations, capital allocation, management, CEO succession and executive compensation and the resulting destruction of billions of dollars of shareholder value and erosion of investor confidence.

More than 80% of Lamb Weston shareholders support a significant overhaul of the Board, while a majority support a complete overhaul of the Board, according to a May 2025 third-party shareholder perception study of approximately 80% of the top 70 Lamb Weston shareholders (excluding JANA and its partners). Shareholder confidence in the Board was non-existent, with an average score of 1.3 on a scale of 1 (no confidence) to 10 (significant confidence). Confidence in leadership was equally poor. Surveyed shareholders also heavily criticized the Board’s haphazard and superficial CEO succession.

Lamb Weston’s Board cannot magically erase years of systematic failures and the destruction of billions of dollars of shareholder value through a perfunctory CEO change, nor by belatedly hiring a consultant to rectify festering challenges of its own creation.

We encourage shareholders to convey their feedback directly to the Company so it can better appreciate the urgency for Board change to restore investor confidence and position the Company for success.

Sincerely,

Scott Ostfeld

Managing Partner & Portfolio Manager
