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.

5 Insightful Analyst Questions From Rocket Lab’s Q2 Earnings Call

RKLB Cover Image

Rocket Lab’s second quarter saw revenue growth driven by continued momentum in both its launch and space systems segments, with results exceeding Wall Street’s sales expectations. CEO Peter Beck highlighted the company’s leadership in small rocket launches and the ongoing international expansion of its Electron vehicle, which completed multiple launches for new global customers. Management attributed margin resilience to a favorable mix in the space systems segment, particularly through higher-margin component sales and continued demand for satellite manufacturing. CFO Adam Spice noted that gross margin gains were supported by increased average selling prices for Electron launches.

While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention.

Our Top 5 Analyst Questions From Rocket Lab’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Michael Leshock (KeyBanc Capital Markets) asked about Archimedes engine progress for Neutron; CEO Peter Beck explained that qualification is complex due to reusable launch requirements but performance metrics are meeting expectations.
  • Erik Rasmussen (Stifel) inquired about backlog composition and Neutron’s potential; CFO Adam Spice clarified that more Neutron missions will be added to backlog after its first successful flight, as launch customers await proven capability.
  • Andres Sheppard-Slinger (Cantor Fitzgerald) asked about Space Systems revenue recognition and the likelihood of winning SDA Tranche 3; Spice projected a revenue ramp for Tranche 2 and noted that Tranche 3 would be the company’s largest contract if awarded.
  • Kristine Liwag (Morgan Stanley) pressed for detail on Neutron’s backlog and capital needs; Beck explained that customers want to see Neutron fly before committing, while Spice said current cash reserves are sufficient for scaling unless further M&A opportunities arise.
  • Xin Yu (Deutsche Bank) questioned the total addressable market (TAM) for Electron; Beck responded that defense programs like Golden Dome could increase demand for launches and that Electron is helping to expand the market.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the coming quarters, StockStory analysts will monitor (1) the timing and outcome of major government contract awards such as Golden Dome and SDA Tranche 3, (2) the successful debut and scaling of Neutron’s launch cadence, and (3) integration and revenue contribution from recent acquisitions like Geost and Mynaric. The pace of transition from R&D investment to profitable production, along with any shifts in launch demand from sovereign and commercial customers, will also be key indicators.

Rocket Lab currently trades at $43.35, down from $44.24 just before the earnings. In the wake of this quarter, is it a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it’s free).
