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.

MarketBeat Week in Review: 12/25 - 12/29

As the shortened trading week ended, the much-anticipated Santa Claus rally took the S&P 500 up about 0.75%. The takeaway from 2023 will be that many investors expected a recession that never occurred. 

But recession concerns still linger over the economy heading into 2024. The full impact of the Federal Reserve's rate tightening has yet to make its way through the economy. Investors won't have to wait too long to start getting answers. The next earnings season gets underway in early January. 

We wish you and your families health and good fortune as you ring in the New Year. As you prepare to start a new trading year on Tuesday, take some time to review some of the top stocks and stories impacting the market. Here are some of the top stories from this week.  

Articles by Jea Yu 

One of the biggest stories impacting the market in December was US Steel's announcement that it agreed to be acquired by Japan's Nippon Steel. The proposed acquisition is igniting speculation about sector consolidation. This week, Jea Yu explains why Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE: CLF) may be the industry's next acquisition target

Yu also wrote about the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) arms race and how Intel Co. (NYSE: INTC) is announcing its entry into the arena with the launch of its Gaudi3 AI chip

In 2023, buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) has become a way for many consumers to manage the higher cost of goods and services. It caused BNPL stocks like Affirm Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AFRM) moved higher. However, Yu explains why investors who got in on AFRM stock early this year may want to take a profit

Articles by Thomas Hughes 

One investment theory that has some historical precedent is the Dogs of the Dow theory. This says that the worst-performing Dow-30 stocks in one year will be among the best performers the following year. This week, Thomas Hughes analyzed the outlook for the three biggest dogs in 2023

Another sound strategy is to invest in stocks that get analysts' upgrades. Hughes looks at three of the most upgraded stocks of 2023 and explains why each is likely to have more upside for investors in 2024. 

Hughes was also writing about Warren Buffett's ongoing purchases of Occidental Petroleum Co. (NYSE: OXY). Hughes defines the price range that marks the "Buffett buy zone," why Buffett is investing heavily in OXY stock and why you may want to do the same. 

Articles by Sam Quirke 

The electric vehicle market did not rev up as much as investors expected in 2023. The high cost of scaling production in a rising interest rate environment will continue to impact many up-and-coming EV makers. But Sam Quirke writes why Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN) is proving to be an exception. With analysts bidding up the stock, the end-of-the-year rally may just be getting started. 

Quirke also explains why investors looking for growth opportunities in 2024 will continue to look at the technology sector. But instead of investing blindly, Quirke suggests looking at tech stocks that recently got bullish upgrades that set the stage for better performance in 2024. 

Articles by Kate Stalter  

Small-cap investors have had a strong two months. However, the best may be yet to come. This week, Kate Stalter wrote why investor optimism for lower interest rates will push small-cap stocks even higher in 2024. 

On the opposite end of the market cap spectrum, Stalter analyzes the year that was for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL). As Stalter explains, Apple remains a favorite among institutional investors for many reasons. Still, investors who hold the stock may want to manage their expectations and look for opportunistic pullbacks to add to their position.  

Some analysts predict 2024 will be a good year for biotech and pharmaceutical stocks. If that's the case, Stalter points investors to Bristol Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY), which made two recent acquisitions that will expand its position in areas like neuroscience and oncology. 

Articles by Ryan Hasson 

Ryan Hasson was also writing about biotech stocks. However, unlike Stalter, Hasson was looking at the small-cap biotech stock Liquidia Co. (NASDAQ: LQDA), which is soaring after winning a victory in court

The end of earnings season gives investors time to look at winners versus losers. This week, Hasson points investors toward three tech stocks that are among the sector's biggest winners in 2023 and have plenty of reasons to believe they have more upside to come. 

Hasson also wrote about the recent performance of the Financial Select Sector Fund (NYSE: XLF). Many investors may not be considering financial stocks. Hasson explains why it may be time that you give the sector a closer look. 

Articles by Gabriel Osorio-Mazilli 

Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) is one of the stocks that is benefiting the most from the Santa Claus rally. Investors comfortable with the volatility in the electric vehicle (EV) sector will want to read Gabriel Osorio-Mazilli's article explaining why NIO shares spiked over 10% and what it may mean heading into 2024. 

Even with tight inventory and mortgage rates at nearly 20-year highs, the housing market continues to strengthen. But for many reasons, the industry will likely perform well in 2024. Osorio-Mazilli explains why one reason to believe in the housing sector is the heightened interest in Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE: RKT)

Osorio-Mazilli also analyzed Align Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: ALGN), which retail investors may overlook, but analysts certainly are not
