About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Unity’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 54 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Unity and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock gained 3.9% on the news that a regulatory filing revealed a new, multi-million dollar investment from Stephens Investment Management Group. According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Stephens Investment Management Group purchased 825,669 shares of Unity during the first quarter, a stake valued at roughly $16.2 million. This new position gives the investment firm approximately 0.20% ownership of the game development platform company. Large investments by institutional investors are often viewed positively by the market, as they can signal a strong belief in a company's long-term strategy and growth potential. The filing also noted that several other hedge funds and institutional investors have recently increased their holdings in Unity, suggesting a broader accumulation of the stock by professional money managers.

Unity is up 33.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $32.68 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Unity’s shares at the IPO in September 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $478.13.
