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 Top 5 Analyst Questions From Lincoln Educational’s Q2 Earnings Call

By: StockStory

LINC Cover Image

Lincoln Educational’s second quarter showed notable operational progress, with management highlighting robust student start growth and expanding campus footprints as central drivers. CEO Scott Shaw pointed to nearly 22% student start growth and strong returns from investments in the Lincoln 10.0 hybrid teaching model, as well as successful program replications at new and relocated campuses. While management emphasized momentum in skilled trades programs and efficiencies from digital learning, they were cautious about underperformance in the healthcare segment, citing ongoing restructuring and a slower pace of investment.

Our Top 5 Analyst Questions From Lincoln Educational’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Alexander Peter Paris (Barrington Research) asked about the flat student starts forecast for Q3 and acceleration in Q4; CFO Brian Meyers confirmed Q3 starts would be flat year-over-year due to a high comparison base, but Q4 is expected to return to previous growth levels.
  • Rajiv Sharma (Texas Capital) questioned the profitability and future growth prospects of healthcare programs; CEO Scott Shaw explained restructuring efforts, the importance of achieving degree-granting status, and anticipated growth from nursing and related programs in 2026–2027.
  • Lucas John Horton (Northland Capital Markets) inquired about which programs and campuses were driving student start outperformance; Shaw identified automotive, HVAC, electrical, and welding across new locations, with East Point highlighted for exceeding enrollment expectations.
  • Eric Martinuzzi (Lake Street Capital Markets) asked about improved marketing efficiency; Shaw credited both better messaging and increased market awareness for driving a 13% reduction in marketing cost per start and improved conversion rates.
  • Lars Munson (Tibor Capital) pressed on capital returns and investment metrics; CFO Brian Meyers cited the East Point campus’s rapid profitability and projected EBITDA as evidence of strong returns, noting that newer campus investments should deliver increased revenue and cash flow in coming years.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

Looking ahead, the StockStory team will be monitoring (1) the pace and profitability of new campus openings and program launches, (2) progress in restructuring and scaling healthcare programs as regulatory milestones are achieved, and (3) ongoing marketing efficiency and student conversion rates.
