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.

Our Top 5 Analyst Questions From Enovis’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Vijay Muniyappa (Evercore ISI) asked about the impact of Arvis launch delays and expectations for Recon segment growth in the second half. CEO Damien McDonald explained that other new products like Nebula hip and ARG for shoulder, along with international cross-selling, are expected to drive acceleration.

  • Vijay Muniyappa (Evercore ISI) questioned the transparency of adjusted EBITDA metrics and progress on free cash flow conversion. CFO Ben Berry reaffirmed compliance with accounting standards and highlighted that reduced integration and regulatory costs should improve cash conversion over the coming years.

  • Vikramjeet Singh Chopra (Wells Fargo) inquired about lessons from McDonald’s previous roles and near-term priorities. McDonald emphasized applying commercial discipline, leveraging business system philosophies across Enovis, and focusing on capital efficiency and cash generation.

  • Joseph Scott Conway (Needham) asked whether revenue guidance increases were currency-driven or organic, and about gross margin flow-through. Management clarified that guidance reflected both organic outperformance and favorable currency, with gross margin gains offset by R&D investment and expense phasing.

  • Danielle Joy Antalffy (UBS) questioned Enovis’s strategy to maintain or expand its leadership in the competitive shoulder market. McDonald cited strong surgeon relationships, product launches, and commercial execution, while Berry highlighted the strategic impact of the Lima acquisition.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the coming quarters, our analysts will focus on (1) the commercial ramp and surgeon adoption of new products like Nebula hip and next-generation Arvis, (2) the pace of margin expansion as integration and regulatory costs recede, and (3) continued progress in cross-selling within international extremities markets. The effectiveness of tariff mitigation and the prioritization of debt reduction will also be important indicators of execution.
