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 Insperity (NSP) Shares Are Falling Today

NSP Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of HR outsourcing provider Insperity (NYSE: NSP) fell 23.5% in the morning session after the company reported disappointing second-quarter financial results and issued a weak outlook for the rest of the year. The human resources firm posted adjusted earnings of $0.26 per share, a figure that missed analyst estimates and represented a 70% plunge from the prior year. The company attributed the significant drop in profit to higher-than-expected benefits costs, specifically pointing to rising pharmacy expenses and an increased frequency of large insurance claims. This surge in costs also caused the company's gross profit to fall by 14% compared to the same quarter last year. To cap off the disappointing report, Insperity lowered its full-year earnings forecast, signaling to investors that these challenges were expected to persist.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Insperity’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 9 moves greater than 5% over the last year. Moves this big are rare for Insperity and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 10 days ago when the stock gained 4.1% on the news that the company announced a strategic partnership with payments platform Wingspan to launch a new solution for managing independent contractors. 

The new platform, called "Insperity Contractor Management powered by Wingspan," is designed to help businesses automate the entire lifecycle of engaging with 1099 workers. This includes processes like onboarding, payments, and tax reporting compliance, streamlining what can be a complex administrative burden for companies. This move allows Insperity, traditionally known as a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) that co-employs a client's workforce, to tap into the rapidly growing contingent or "gig" economy. With reports suggesting that one in three American workers now earns 1099 income, the new service addresses a significant market need and represents a potential new revenue stream for the company.

Insperity is down 39.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $45.78 per share, it is trading 53% below its 52-week high of $97.35 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Insperity’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $672.96.
