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.

WeightWatchers (NASDAQ: WW) Announces Acquisition of Sequence in Shift to Obesity Drug Market

WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW), or WeightWatchers, describes itself as a human-focused technology company that offers a “proven, science-based, clinically effective weight loss and weight management program,” according to the company. Shares of the health & weight loss technology company surged 79% during trading on Tuesday, March 7, 2023. Over the past three months, WeightWatchers has seen average daily volume of 1.51 million shares. However, volume of 79.88 million shares or dollar volume of around $553.57 million, exchanged hands during the day’s trading.

Shares of WeightWatchers jumped after the company announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Weekend Health, Inc., d/b/a Sequence, a subscription-based telehealth platform that connects patients with healthcare providers specializing in weight management. The telehealth platform makes it easy for patients to connect with a healthcare provider, receive on-going care and obtain any necessary medications.

Sequence launched in late 2021, but has quickly grown into a $25 million annual revenue run-rate company with roughly 24,000 members, as of February 2023. The telehealth platform operates on a highly streamlined basis, which allowed the startup to turn cash flow positive recently.

Under the terms of the transaction, WeightWatchers will acquire Sequence in a cash and equity deal worth $132 million, including cash. Excluding Sequence’s cash of $26 million, the effective net purchase value is $106 million. The transaction will be broken down into the following milestones:

  • $100 million due upon closing of the transaction, including $65 million in cash and $35 million in 8.065 million common shares of WW
  • On the first anniversary of the deal closing, $16 million in cash will be dispersed
  • The second anniversary of the closing will include an additional $16 million in cash

The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, but is estimated to finalize during the second quarter of 2023.

“As science advances rapidly, we know there is a significant opportunity to improve outcomes for those using medications. Clinical interventions require better education, access, care management, community and the integration of a complementary lifestyle program for best results. It is our responsibility, as the trusted leader in weight management, to support those interested in exploring if medications are right for them,” said Sima Sistani, CEO of WeightWatchers.
