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.

The Retail Industry Takes Blows By A Variety Of Challenges, Including Concerns About Sluggish Demand In China.

Lately, the retail industry has faced a variety of challenges, including concerns about sluggish demand in China, a significant market that has recently been subject to restrictive regulations. Athletic firms throughout the world have felt the weight of these worries, but Baird sees some signs of promise.

Nike (NYSE: NKE) and Adidas (ADDYY) significant partners in China, Pou Sheng International Holdings (ticker: 3813. Hong Kong), reported a 19% year-over-year decline in May revenue on Friday. “The results were better than our worries given broad-based Covid-related lockdowns throughout the month, and the significantly poorer performance” in both of March and April, according to analyst Jonathan Komp.”

Another sequential improvement from prior months was the 31% drop in sales compared to the pre-pandemic period in 2019.

“The May numbers still reflect a significant reduction, we are hopeful anticipating an additional improvement in June because Shanghai (which is 10 percent + of China total sales for some) began relaxing limitations at the beginning of June,” he writes. “

According to statistics, such optimism is based on facts. Even though traffic in Shanghai has been low since the city’s first reopening, Crocs (CROX), On Holding (ONON), and Skechers (SKX) all reported somewhat better-than-expected results at their global consumer, technology, and services conference this week.

According to a report by Komp, the number of flights arriving and departing from major Chinese cities has been steadily increasing over the last few years, which is good news since it indicates that travel demand is on the rise.

Shares of Nike NKE –3.26 percent and Adidas ADIDAS –37 percent have both lost over 30 percent this year.

Nike’s stock has been battered by worries about the Chinese economy in the lead-up to its impending earnings report, scheduled at the end of the month. Investors are worried that the situation has worsened, even though the firm earlier said that it projected sequential improvement in its struggling China division.

Adidas made the same claim last month when it presented statistics for May.

International merchants would profit in two ways from China’s wider reopening: it would relieve supply chain issues and boost demand there.
