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 Revealing Analyst Questions From AMN Healthcare Services’s Q2 Earnings Call

AMN Cover Image

AMN Healthcare Services’ second quarter results received a positive market reaction, supported by performance that exceeded Wall Street’s revenue and non-GAAP profit expectations. Management attributed the quarter’s outcome to a combination of persistent softness in healthcare staffing orders, especially among academic medical centers, and ongoing cost control initiatives. CEO Cary Grace noted, “Uncertainty about government policy impact placed the healthcare sector in a more cautious stance... directly impacting our industry.” Notably, stabilization in gross margins and operational improvements helped counterbalance lower sales volumes and sector-wide demand challenges.

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 AMN Healthcare Services’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • John Trevor Romeo (William Blair) asked about trends in client demand for contingent labor. CEO Cary Grace explained that while uncertainty delayed decisions in Q2, stabilization and modest improvements were seen in July, especially in Allied and locum tenens segments.
  • Kevin Mark Fischbeck (Bank of America) questioned when volumes might bottom and return to growth. CFO Brian Scott said declines were concentrated among a small set of academic clients and that stabilization was emerging, but recovery would likely become visible in Q4 or later.
  • Albert J. William Rice (UBS) probed supply and demand dynamics for nurse and allied assignments. Grace clarified that supply remains healthy and the main challenge is finding attractive packages for clinicians, not a shortage of applicants.
  • Tobey O'Brien Sommer (Truist) inquired about SG&A trends amid lower revenue and margin guidance. Scott described ongoing cost control, with automation and the Smart Square sale helping to lower SG&A, while some unique items affected Q2 expenses.
  • Jack Slevin (Jefferies) asked about winning market share as competitors struggle. Grace highlighted a focus on expanding strategic client relationships, leveraging operational advantages, and benefiting from industry consolidation.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the coming quarters, StockStory analysts will be monitoring (1) the pace of recovery in staffing volumes, especially among academic medical centers and international nurse placements, (2) stabilization or improvement in extension rates and new order activity for nurse and allied staffing, and (3) the impact of technology investments like Passport and AI automation on operational efficiency and fill rates. Execution on pipeline opportunities and further industry consolidation will also be critical signposts.
