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.

Schwab Q2 Retail Client Sentiment Survey: More Than Half of Investors Are Now Bearish but Majority Plan To Stay Invested and Remain Confident About Long-Term Goals

By: via Business Wire

Investors feel more bearish about the stock market according to Charles Schwab’s Q2 2022 Retail Client Sentiment Report of over 1,000 retail clients. More than half (57%) of respondents have a bearish outlook on the U.S. stock market for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 29% from the same time last year. Just over a quarter (26%) are bullish about the second quarter, down 28% from the same time last year. However, more than half (55%) of Schwab’s retail clients report that they don’t plan to change the level of risk they are taking in their investment portfolios in Q2, and only 9% of respondents say they will take money out of their investment portfolios in the coming months.

“Investors’ concerns about the market are understandably on the rise this quarter amid inflation, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and volatility, but we’re encouraged to see that they’re staying the course with a focus on diversification and following their long-term financial plans,” said Jonathan Craig, Managing Director, Head of Investor Services & Marketing at Charles Schwab. “Investors are also staying engaged as market volatility persists. In fact, we saw almost 2 million client visits to the educational content on our website in the first four months of the year, which speaks to the importance of providing investors with the resources they need to navigate periods like the one we’re in now.”

Key Q2 2022 Retail Client Sentiment Report Themes

  • Young investors, defined as investors under the age of 40, remain the most confident in the market by a small margin, with 31% feeling bullish in Q2; however, young investors’ bullish sentiment has dropped more than 10% since Q1 2022.
  • In Q2, Schwab clients are most bullish about the energy sector (53%), followed by healthcare (46%) and utilities (42%). They are most bearish about real estate (46%) and consumer discretionary (44%).
  • Despite increased bearish sentiment, 42% of Schwab’s retail clients plan to add money to their investment portfolios in Q2. Individual stocks (34%), ETFs (27%), and mutual funds (17%) continue to be the most popular investment vehicles.
  • Concerns about inflation (18%), geopolitical or global macroeconomic issues (16%), and the potential of a recession (13%) are top of mind for investors in Q2 2022. Despite these concerns and the increase in bearish sentiment, the majority of Schwab’s retail clients (91%) are confident that they will reach their financial goals.
  • More than half of investors (63%) have noticed a negative impact on their portfolio as a result of the conflict in Ukraine. Further, approximately 80% of investors report that the conflict in Ukraine has had an impact on their sentiment, but the majority (63%) do not plan to alter their portfolio allocation as a direct result​.

About the survey

This data is collected by Schwab quarterly via an online survey of clients with retail assets of at least $2,000. There is oversampling to achieve adequate sample sizes for sub-group analysis, and then application of a weighting scheme to create a total respondent population that is representative of Schwab’s client base. The Q2 study was fielded at the beginning of the quarter: April 6 -17, 2022. Detailed results can be found here.
