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.

Why Concentrix (CNXC) Shares Are Sliding Today

What Happened?

Shares of customer experience solutions provider Concentrix (NASDAQ: CNXC) fell 7.5% in the morning session after the company reported mixed second-quarter 2025 results, with a significant drop in profitability overshadowing a slight revenue beat. 

While the technology and services firm's revenue of $2.42 billion narrowly surpassed analysts' expectations, its net income saw a steep 37% year-over-year decline to $42.1 million. This resulted in earnings per share (EPS) of $0.63, a sharp fall from $0.98 in the same quarter last year. Even on an adjusted basis, which excludes certain items, non-GAAP EPS of $2.70 missed the consensus estimate of $2.76. The company attributed the drop in profitability partly to temporary program pauses and investments made ahead of anticipated growth in the second half of the year. 

Despite raising its full-year revenue forecast, the significant earnings miss and contracting margins have spooked investors, raising concerns about the company's near-term profitability.

What The Market Is Telling Us

Concentrix’s shares are quite volatile and have had 17 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 3 months ago when the stock gained 38% on the news that the company reported impressive first quarter 2025 results which beat analysts' EPS and EBITDA expectations. Adjusting for currency swings, revenue managed to inch up a bit, with momentum driven by demand for the company's AI offerings, and this could partly be responsible for the improved market optimism. Adding to the positive aspect, it slightly lifted its revenue guidance for the full year, given the outperformance recorded during the quarter. Overall, this quarter had some key positives.

Concentrix is up 18.8% since the beginning of the year, but at $51.81 per share, it is still trading 31.5% below its 52-week high of $75.58 from August 2024.
