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 annuity provider Brighthouse Financial (NASDAQ: BHF) jumped 10.1% in the morning session after reports revealed that private capital group Aquarian Holdings is advancing its plans to acquire the life insurer. 

According to a report from the Financial Times, Aquarian is in late-stage discussions with two large Middle Eastern investors to secure the necessary equity financing for the potential deal. The prospect of an acquisition is driving significant investor interest, as such deals often involve a premium over the current stock price. The stock was already showing strength in premarket trading following the emergence of the news.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Brighthouse Financial’s shares are quite volatile and have had 17 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Brighthouse Financial and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was about 2 months ago when the stock gained 9.5% on the news that reports surfaced that the company is in exclusive talks to be acquired by investment firm Aquarian Holdings. The news, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, indicated that a deal could be finalized within a few weeks. This development follows a period of exploration by Brighthouse, which had reportedly been working with bankers on a potential sale for much of the year. Life insurance and annuity companies like Brighthouse have increasingly become attractive targets for private equity firms and asset managers. These buyers are often drawn to the large asset bases of insurers, which they can manage and deploy into their own investment strategies. The potential acquisition by Aquarian highlights a strategic interest in Brighthouse's substantial financial operations and its undervalued assets.

Brighthouse Financial is down 0% since the beginning of the year, and at $47.98 per share, it is trading 23.8% below its 52-week high of $62.97 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Brighthouse Financial’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,577.

While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
