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.

The 5 Most Interesting Analyst Questions From Warby Parker’s Q2 Earnings Call

By: StockStory

WRBY Cover Image

Warby Parker’s second quarter saw revenue growth driven by continued retail expansion, product innovation, and a disciplined approach to cost management, even as the market responded negatively to the results. Management credited the increase in active customers and retail channel strength, with co-CEO David Gilboa highlighting “disciplined execution and ability to adapt in a dynamic environment,” as the team navigated tariff impacts and optimized its store and digital presence. Despite a challenging April, the company reported sequential improvement through the quarter, citing success in both new store openings and the ramp-up of insurance customers as important factors supporting overall sales momentum.

Our Top 5 Analyst Questions From Warby Parker’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Brooke Roach (Goldman Sachs) asked about confidence in sustaining sequential growth and SG&A leverage. Co-CEO David Gilboa cited the company’s adaptability, while CFO Steve Miller outlined continued cost discipline and efficiency gains as paths to margin expansion.
  • Dana Telsey (Telsey Advisory Group) inquired about progress on the Google AI eyewear partnership and Target shop-in-shops. Management highlighted early positive reception for Target locations and framed the Google partnership as a significant potential market expansion.
  • Mark Altschwager (Baird) questioned the drivers behind accelerating revenue growth into July. Miller pointed to omnichannel momentum, with both retail and e-commerce benefiting from recent pricing changes and customer gains.
  • Oliver Chen (TD Cowen) asked about competitive differentiation for AI eyewear and insurance business opportunities. Management emphasized Warby Parker’s unique retail infrastructure and expertise, as well as insurance integration as a multi-year growth tailwind.
  • Brandon Cheatham (Citi) sought details on sunsetting the home try-on program and resource allocation. Gilboa explained cost savings would be redirected to marketing, and new digital tools would better serve customers.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will watch (1) the pace of new store openings and performance of Target shop-in-shops, (2) adoption and conversion rates for AI-powered digital tools like Advisor, and (3) continued growth in insurance customer penetration and the integration of new insurance partners.
