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.

Why Beyond Meat (BYND) Stock Is Trading Lower Today

BYND Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of plant-based protein company Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) fell 33.5% in the afternoon session after the company announced a major debt restructuring plan that involves significant shareholder dilution. 

The plant-based meat producer launched an exchange offer to eliminate over $800 million of debt by swapping its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2027 for new, higher-interest 7% notes due in 2030. The most significant part of the deal for current investors is the issuance of up to 326.2 million new shares of common stock. This move, while aimed at avoiding bankruptcy and strengthening the company's balance sheet, comes at a steep cost. 

The massive issuance of new shares drastically reduces the ownership stake and value for existing shareholders—a concept known as dilution. Furthermore, replacing zero-interest debt with notes carrying a 7% interest rate increases future expenses. Investors appear to be viewing these terms as signs of financial distress, seeing the deal as a necessary but painful measure.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Beyond Meat? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Beyond Meat’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 47 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Beyond Meat and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 19 days ago when the stock dropped 3.1% on the news that markets pulled back, reversing early gains, as investor sentiment remained cautious despite a softer-than-expected inflation reading. Stocks rose in the morning session after an unexpected drop in the Producer Price Index (PPI) for August signaled easing inflation and raised expectations for a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the PPI, which measures wholesale prices, edged down 0.1% last month, contrary to analyst expectations for a 0.3% rise. This data gives the Federal Reserve more flexibility to consider lowering interest rates to stimulate the economy.

Beyond Meat is down 54.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.75 per share, it is trading 74.2% below its 52-week high of $6.78 from September 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Beyond Meat’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $10.62.
