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.

TechMediaBreaks – Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) Faces Downturn Despite Revenue Growth

Snap (NYSE: SNAP), the parent company of Snapchat, faced a significant downturn in its stock value during after-hours trading following its second-quarter earnings report for 2024. Despite a 16% year-over-year increase in total revenue, reaching $1.24 billion, the decline in the company’s stock reflects investor concerns about Snap’s future growth prospects, especially given the deceleration from the 21% growth recorded in the first quarter of 2024. The mixed financial results also highlighted a net loss of $249 million, which, despite being a 34% improvement from the previous year, still raises questions about the company’s profitability.

Snap’s user engagement metrics, however, paint a more positive picture. The Daily Active Users (DAUs) reached 432 million, marking a 9% year-over-year increase, and Monthly Active Users (MAU) exceeded 850 million during the quarter. Additionally, the platform reported over 11 million subscribers to its premium subscription service, Snapchat+. CEO Evan Spiegel’s focus on growing the user base and scaling the advertising platform is evident, with active advertisers more than doubling year-over-year. These figures suggest a strong and growing engagement with Snap’s platform, despite the financial challenges.

The forward guidance for the third quarter of 2024 was a primary concern for investors, with projected DAUs reaching 441 million, a modest 9% increase from Q2. However, the revenue guidance for the quarter, ranging from $1.33 billion to $1.37 billion, implies a year-over-year revenue growth of only 12% to 16%. This forecast fell short of analyst expectations and signaled a potential slowdown in Snap’s growth trajectory, contributing to the negative investor sentiment.

Snap’s strategic investments in augmented reality (AR) technology and new feature development aim to enhance user experience and engagement. However, the company faces significant competition from other social media giants like Facebook (owned by Meta Platforms) and TikTok. These competitors have vast user bases and advanced advertising capabilities, posing a challenge to Snap’s growth and market share.

Investors are now looking forward to Snap’s upcoming Partner Summit on September 17th for further updates on the company’s strategy and potential changes in direction. The market’s response to the Summit will be crucial for determining Snap’s future trajectory and its ability to regain investor confidence amidst stiff competition and financial challenges.
