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.

Therma Bright Reviews Manufacturing Strategy in Light of US Tariff Changes

By: Newsfile

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2025) - Therma Bright Inc. (TSXV: THRM) (OTCQB: TBRIF) (FSE: JNX) ("Therma" or the "Company"), a developer and investment partner specializing in advanced diagnostic and medical device technologies, is pleased to provide an update to address the potential impact of recent and evolving US tariff policies on our current manufacturing operations of Venowave in China, which serves the US market.

The Company is actively reviewing the implications of recent tariff changes imposed by the US on goods manufactured in foreign countries, particularly China. These tariffs have the potential to significantly increase the cost of our products sold in the US market. In response, Therma has initiated a comprehensive review of all available manufacturing options to ensure the long-term competitiveness and stability of our supply chain.

Therma is reviewing various manufacturing options which includes a thorough analysis of onshoring and establishing manufacturing capabilities within North America (Canada, USA, or Mexico).

The Company is also considering a hybrid approach; combining manufacturing of Venowave or component parts in China with onshoring in North America. In the case of continued full manufacturing of Venowave in China the option will be evaluated in conjunction with strategies to mitigate tariff costs, including potential absorption of some or all tariff expenses if financially feasible in the current dynamic environment.

The Company's decision-making process will extend beyond pure cost considerations and will encompass critical factors such as:

  • Supply chain resilience: assessing the stability and reliability of different manufacturing locations and potential risks.
  • Lead Times: evaluating the impact on production and delivery timelines.
  • Quality Control: ensuring consistent product quality across different manufacturing environments.
  • Intellectual Property Protection: considering the risks associated with different manufacturing locations.
  • Logistics and Transportation: analysing the efficiency and cost of moving goods from various manufacturing sites to the US market.
  • Market Access and Geopolitical Stability: evaluating the long-term implications of manufacturing locations on market access and geopolitical risks.

Therma Bright recognizes that the current tariff landscape is subject to change. Our analysis will consider various potential scenarios and their impact on our business.

It is important to emphasize that no final decision regarding our future manufacturing strategy has been made at this time. The Company is committed to keeping our shareholders informed. We will provide a further update once our comprehensive review is complete and a definitive course of action has been determined. We appreciate our shareholders' understanding as we navigate this evolving situation and work to ensure the long-term success of the Company.

Therma Bright would also like to announce that it continues to work with national distributors to expand the market presence for Venowave with further updates in the near future.
