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.

Wells Fargo Investment Institute: It's Time to Build Resilience and Capitalize on Opportunities

By: via Business Wire

The WFII 2025 Midyear Outlook highlights economic and market forecasts, favored sectors, and top portfolio ideas amid volatility

Wells Fargo Investment Institute (WFII) today released its “Midyear Outlook report: Opportunities amid uneven terrain.” The first half of 2025 delivered some of the most stunning and rapid policy changes of the past 80 years. This midyear report assesses the changes since the release of WFII’s 2025 Outlook in December and highlights the potential risks and opportunities that may lie ahead. The report includes specific ideas to build portfolio diversification and resilience during the remainder of 2025 and 2026.

“The news of the day is moving with sudden speed, and investors must react quickly to anticipate and manage downstream market implications,” said Darrell Cronk, chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Wealth & Investment Management. “This can feel jarring, but we believe that uncertainty and volatility often create the best opportunities for investors, and that this time will be no different.”

Portfolio returns often take two steps forward and one step back. Markets enjoyed extraordinarily strong returns in 2023 and 2024 with subdued volatility before the changes of first half of 2025 arrived. But households and businesses have a long history of adjusting to tax increases, such as tariffs, and markets are adjusting as well.

Outlook on global economy and asset groups:

  • Global economy: Steady underlying support and looming tax policy extensions should cushion a mid-2025, tariff-induced economic slowdown and help the U.S. and international economies avoid a recession into 2026.
  • Global equities: The economic soft landing we expect should help drive global equity prices higher through 2026.
  • Global fixed income: Lingering policy uncertainties likely will keep U.S. Treasury yields volatile into year-end 2025, but we expect slightly higher yields in 2026.
  • Global real assets: The modest improvement in global economic growth that we expect into 2026 should stimulate additional commodity demand and moderately higher commodity prices through 2026.
  • Global alternative investments: We see value in alternative strategies’ diversification benefits, as well as their potential ability to capitalize on opportunities during market dislocations.

Top portfolio ideas for the balance of 2025:

  1. Position portfolios for policy and geopolitical uncertainties
  2. Focus on quality and diversifying assets
  3. Cushion portfolios with income-generating assets
  4. Selectively add exposure to artificial intelligence (AI)
  5. Complement U.S. exposure with international assets

Highlights of WFII’s forecast:

  • The anticipated U.S. GDP (gross domestic product) growth target for 2025 year-end is 1.0%, and 1.8% for 2026.
  • The target for U.S. consumer price inflation in 2025 is 3.5% and 2026 is 2.6%.
  • The S&P 500 Index price target range is 5,900 – 6,100 for year-end 2025 and 6,400 – 6,600 for 2026.
  • Federal funds rate target for 2025 is 4.00% – 4.25% and 3.75% – 4.00% in 2026.

Risk Disclosure

Forecasts and targets are based on certain assumptions and on our current views of market and economic conditions, which are subject to change.

All investing involves risks, including the possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful and meet its investment objectives. Investments fluctuate with changes in market and economic conditions and in different environments due to numerous factors, some of which may be unpredictable. Asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee investment returns or eliminate risk of loss.

Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile. A stock’s value may fluctuate in response to general economic and market conditions, the prospects of individual companies, and industry sectors. International investing has additional risks including those associated with currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, and different accounting standards. This may result in greater share price volatility. These risks are heightened in emerging and frontier markets. Investments in fixed-income securities are subject to market, interest rate, credit, liquidity, inflation, prepayment, extension, and other risks. Bond prices fluctuate inversely to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a general rise in interest rates can result in a decline in the bond’s price.

The information contained herein constitutes general information and is not directed to, designed for, or individually tailored to, any particular investor or potential investor. This report is not intended to be a client-specific suitability analysis or recommendation, an offer to participate in any investment, or a recommendation to buy, hold, or sell securities. Do not use this report as the primary basis for investment decisions. Consider all relevant information, including your existing portfolio, investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and investment time horizon.
