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.

The Donerail Group Delivers Open Letter to the Stratasys Board of Directors

Multiple Alternatives Exist to the Desktop Metal Transaction That Offer Significantly Better Terms for Stratasys Shareholders

Expects Stratasys Board to Quickly Deem 3D Systems Offer Superior to Desktop Metal Transaction

Calls on Stratasys Board to Negotiate With All Interested Suitors to Maximize Shareholder Value

LOS ANGELES, July 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Donerail Group LP (together with its affiliates, “Donerail”), a large shareholder of Stratasys Ltd. (the “Company” or “Stratasys”) (NASDAQ: SSYS), with a beneficial ownership interest of approximately 2.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares, today released the following letter to Stratasys’ Board of Directors (the “Board”).

The full text of Donerail’s letter to the Board follows:

July 14, 2023

Stratasys Ltd.
1 Holtzman Street, Science Park
P.O. Box 2496
Rehovot, Israel 76124

To the Board of Directors,

As you are aware, The Donerail Group LP (together with its affiliates, “Donerail”, or “we”) is a large shareholder of Stratasys Ltd. (the “Company”, “Stratasys”, or “SSYS”) with a beneficial ownership interest of approximately 2.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

Since our public letter was released on June 29th, in which we detailed our considerations regarding the strategic alternatives available for Stratasys stakeholders, we have observed overwhelming feedback from existing Stratasys shareholders that support our letter.

Notwithstanding the overwhelming support that we have received, we watched with great interest the improved terms offered by 3D Systems Corporation (“3D Systems”) this week to acquire Stratasys, whereby 3D Systems has now offered $24.07 in cash and stock per share to Stratasys shareholders. We are encouraged that 3D Systems has improved their offer on the back of our letter and recognizes the intrinsic value that exists at Stratasys.

Meanwhile, Nano Dimension Ltd. (“Nano”), the Company’s largest shareholder, continues to try and meaningfully increase its existing ownership in Stratasys, announcing just days ago its intent to more than triple its ownership in the Company with a willingness to pay $24.00 per share in cash to existing holders to do so. While a partial tender for shares offers certain complexity to SSYS shareholders, Nano also indicated that it could merge with 3D Systems if its partial tender is successful, an action that has the potential to deliver significant value to SSYS shareholders and that we support.

These revised and improved offers each stand at nearly a 70% premium to the closing Stratasys share price of $14.26 per share on May 25th, the first trading day after the market had time to digest the Company’s merger announcement with Desktop Metal, Inc. (“Desktop Metal”).

Critically, the revised offer from 3D Systems is binding, removing a meaningful amount of risk for Stratasys shareholders. Based on our understanding of the situation, the 3D Systems agreement can be quickly executed, which, in addition to the premium offered, surely demonstrates this proposal is reasonable likely to lead to a superior proposal to the Desktop Metal transaction.

As it stands, multiple proposals exist that value SSYS stock at a nearly 70% premium to the Stratasys share price following the Desktop Metal news. Given these important developments, we would encourage and expect the Stratasys Board of Directors to move past the inferior Desktop Metal deal and swiftly engage with interested parties to negotiate the best possible deal for SSYS shareholders.
