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.

Shall You Sell Amazon Stock?

Amazon.com, is one of Wall Street’s most prominent investment companies, and experts including Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America, have Amazon.com, Inc. as one of their top picks. On the other hand, Stefan Slowinski of BNP Paribas is swimming against the tide. In his opinion, the stock is worth $2,800 at current prices, representing a 14% decline.

Because of the present macroeconomic situation, Slowinski isn’t optimistic about a quick comeback in the e-commerce business. He thinks Amazon is both the most expensive and the poorest performing stock in the FAANGs. Let’s investigate the reasons behind this. In a Few Years, Amazon Prime Video Could Be Worth $1 Trillion.

Hard-hitting Macroeconomics

Slowinski predicts Amazon’s margins will fall at a greater rate than the market forecasts because of rising inflation in the United States. As a result, the company’s capital expenditures are expected to grow beyond expectations. Slowinski said in his review that Amazon would cut margins to keep up with inflation, having previously raised costs for shows like Prime Video.

“Even though margin growth is conceivable, the customer feels the strain of rising inflation. As a result of boosting their Prime pricing, Amazon is already jacking up rates on its consumers, “he wrote.

That’s why Slowinski prefers another tech company, Google (GOOGL), over Facebook (FB) or Amazon (AMZN). Search engine giant Google’s parent firm, Alphabet, has been working on its online retail plan.

“We view Alphabet as a developing e-commerce play because of their lower valuation and ability to utilize their search, Android, and YouTube businesses,” stated Slowinski.

Amazon’s plan to divide its stock and purchase back $10 billion in shares, which sparked a market boom, didn’t inspire much confidence in Slowinski.

The $10 billion repurchases represent less than 1% of the company’s market value, so it’s hardly a statement of confidence, one analyst said. As a result, we don’t feel it displays a propensity to generate shareholder value in the short future.

AWS, Amazon’s cloud computing and storage business, has been the company’s most lucrative sector, leaving AWS. Slowinski does not expect AWS to be spun off soon, contrary to other analysts’ predictions.

The BNP Paribas analyst would select Alphabet as the winner if he had to make a prediction. There are several reasons to believe that if Google’s parent company joins the online retail industry, it will face a direct challenge from Amazon to its core businesses: e-commerce, cloud computing, and marketing.

Amazon Stock Forecast

As a result of 35 recent analyst assessments on record, Amazon has a Strong Buy consensus rating from the 35 analysts who have given the stock a Buy recommendation. For the following year, investors are looking at an average price objective of $4,143 and change.
