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.

3 Beaten Down Stocks That Insiders Are Buying

Even good companies fall on hard times. Hard times can shift market sentiment and put downward pressure on their stock prices regardless of the underlying business quality. The stocks on this list have reason to trade at long-term lows but offer opportunities in their business quality, valuations, and outlook. That opportunity is highlighted by insider activity, which is ramping up and buying stock. Insider activity is not guaranteed to raise their respective stock price, but who knows best what to expect besides the company executives? 

Insiders Buy the Dip in Globe Life

Globe Life (NYSE: GL) is an insurance company whose stock price is on the rocks—not because of results but because of the short pitch issued in March. Short sellers allege fraudulent and misleading practices in it and its subsidiary, American Income Life. The call caused the stock to implode, falling more than 50% before hitting bottom, but now the rebound is on, and insiders are buying. Insidertrades.com tracks four purchases by four insiders, including an EVP, CFO, CEO, and director. Their purchases offset sales by other execs and netted more than $350 worth of shares. Insiders own about 1.5% of the company, and institutional support is also present. 

Institutional activity has been mixed over the last year but turned bullish in Q1 2024, remained strong in Q2, and bullish activity persists in the first month of Q3. Institutions own more than 80% of the stock, providing a much stronger tailwind than insiders. Their tailwind is echoed by the nine analysts covering the company. They rate it a Moderate Buy and see it advancing to $105 at the consensus. The caveat is that the consensus target has declined over the past year; many of the freshest targets are below it.

Macerich Stock Is Down for a Reason, but Insiders Are Buying

Macerich (NYSE: MAC) is a REIT focused on town centers and malls in communities in the western US. Its stock price is down at rock-bottom prices after years of underperformance and bloated debt levels, but a turnaround is in progress. The latest results were mixed, with earnings weaker than expected, but the report's highlights are promising. The company says it is making progress on its key initiatives, which include reducing costs and debt and improving the balance sheet - shortly after the release, the insiders started to buy. 

Five Macerich insiders purchased shares in early May. The purchases are noteworthy for the timing, shortly after the earnings release, and the shift in activity. Not only did buying spike in Q2, but it also reversed the spike in selling seen in Q1. 

Institutions are also buying this stock. Institutions bought on balance in Q1 and Q2, raising their total interest to over 87%. The bad news is that the nine analysts tracking the stock rate it as a Sell; sentiment is trending lower, and the consensus target implies a 15% downside.

Insiders Buy the Dip in Science Applications International

Science Applications International (NYSE: SAIC) is well-positioned within the IT world and shows in its stock price. The stock price is trending higher on sustained growth supported by the widening use of cloud-based infrastructure and AI. Today’s takeaway is that the stock price is down to a YoY contraction in revenue that will soon end. Year-over-year growth is expected to resume this quarter and accelerate into next year.  Insiders started buying this stock in April. CEO Toni Townes-Whitley made the first purchase, followed by several purchases in June and July by executive vice presidents.
