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.

What Happened?

Shares of insurance and technology company HCI Group (NYSE: HCI) jumped 4.5% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong second-quarter 2025 earnings that surpassed analyst expectations for both revenue and profit. The property and casualty insurer reported earnings per share (EPS) of $5.06, a significant increase from $4.24 in the same quarter last year and beating analyst estimates of $4.38. Revenue also surpassed expectations, rising 7.6% year-over-year to $221.9 million. The company's core insurance business showed steady growth, with Net Premiums Earned—what an insurer collects from policies after paying for its own insurance, called reinsurance—increasing 7.1% to $200.1 million. A key driver of the strong results was improved efficiency, as evidenced by the pre-tax profit margin expanding to 42.5%, a 5.7 percentage point increase from the prior year. This indicates that the company's expenses grew at a slower rate than its revenue, boosting overall profitability.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $141.71, up 2.8% from previous close.
