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.

AMCX Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of television broadcasting and production company AMC Networks (NASDAQ: AMCX) jumped 19% in the morning session after the company reported second-quarter financial results that surpassed Wall Street expectations for both revenue and earnings. The company reported second-quarter revenue of $600 million and adjusted earnings of $0.69 per share, beating analyst forecasts of $586 million and $0.54 per share, respectively. This positive surprise came despite a 4.1% year-over-year decline in total sales, highlighting strength in other areas of the business. The main drivers for the quarter were a 12% increase in streaming revenue, which rose to $169 million, and robust performance in content licensing. Adding to investor optimism, AMC Networks raised its full-year free cash flow outlook to approximately $250 million. The strong results in streaming and the improved cash flow guidance signal progress in the company's strategy, overshadowing declines in traditional advertising revenue.

What Is The Market Telling Us

AMC Networks’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 36 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for AMC Networks and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock gained 6.2% on the news that markets rebounded following a sharp sell-off in the previous trading session as weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data fueled investor hopes for a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The July Nonfarm Payrolls report revealed a gain of only 73,000 jobs, significantly below the 110,000 expected. Compounding the news, prior months' figures were revised downward by over 250,000 jobs. This data, indicating a cooling labor market, has led investors to dramatically increase bets on a September interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve, with the probability jumping to over 80% according to the CME FedWatch Tool. The prospect of lower borrowing costs typically stimulates economic activity and boosts consumer spending on non-essential goods and services, which directly benefits companies in the consumer discretionary space.

AMC Networks is down 30.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $6.96 per share, it is trading 35% below its 52-week high of $10.70 from August 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of AMC Networks’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $290.18.
