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.

Hertz (HTZ) Stock Trades Down, Here Is Why

HTZ Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of global car rental company Hertz (NASDAQ: HTZ) fell 1.4% in the afternoon session after the company completed a $425 million offering of senior notes and announced an expected legal settlement payment of over $154 million. 

The debt offering, which included the full exercise of the initial purchasers' option to buy an additional $50 million of notes, was seen as a move to strengthen the company's financial position. Hertz's Chief Financial Officer highlighted that the participation of key investors, including Pershing Square, underscored strong confidence in the company. To lessen the impact of potential new shares from the offering, Hertz also entered into capped call transactions. Separately, the company disclosed it expected to receive a settlement payment of approximately $154 million related to an automotive parts antitrust case. These developments were viewed positively as they bolstered the company's cash position and financial flexibility.

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 Hertz? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Hertz’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 64 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 5 days ago when the stock gained 3.6% on the news that the company announced it was selling $375 million worth of senior notes in an upsized private offering. 

The total amount of the offering was increased from the previously announced $250 million, signaling strong investor interest. Hertz planned to use $300 million of the money raised to pay back or repurchase some of its existing debt that was due in 2026. This move was seen as a way to improve the company's financial health by extending its debt deadlines. The new notes are due in 2030, giving the company more time to manage its finances.

Hertz is up 81.2% since the beginning of the year, but at $6.76 per share, it is still trading 21.8% below its 52-week high of $8.65 from April 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Hertz’s shares at the IPO in June 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $250.47.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
