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.

AI is Powering a Recovery for Juniper Networks

Juniper Networks stock price

The artificial intelligence (AI) deployment trend is bolstering stock prices throughout the market. Many stocks are just rising with the currents, but many companies are seeing a material impact due to the AI deployment trend. Network communications solutions provider Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) may fall into that category.

It's a leader in secure AI-driven networks. It competes with Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), Extreme Networks Inc. (NASDAQ: EXTR) and Arista Networks Inc. (NASDAQ: ANET). The Company benefits from secular tailwinds, including digital transformation, cloudification and AI deployment. Despite order volumes falling (30%) YoY, both top and bottom lines grew in the same period. The macroeconomic environment and supply chain challenges are resulting in longer sales cycles, and this trend is expected to continue through 2023.

AI and Related Products

Juniper's Mist AI platform has been seeing growing demand and accolades as it helps to minimize IT costs. With AI-driven support and end-to-end service levels, it automates wired and wireless networks instituting proactive self-routing automation to ensure secure user experiences. Its 128 Technology acquisition will accelerate the evolution of AI-driven application end-user software-defined wide area networks (SD Wan) experience from client to cloud. Juniper's Marvis is an AI-powered virtual assistant used by IT teams. Its Apstra is an AI-powered SDN improving the reality and security of networks.

Growth Acceleration

Juniper reported its Q1 2023 results for the quarter ending March 2023 on April 25, 2023. The Company reported earnings-per-share (EPS) of $0.48 versus consensus analyst estimates for $0.43, a $0.05 beat. Revenues grew 17.4% year-over-year (YoY) to $1.37 billion, beating analyst estimates of $1.34 billion by $300 million. Non-GAAP operating margin rose to 14.8%, up from 11.8% in the year-ago period. GAAP operating margin increased 8.4% from 5% in the year-ago period. The Company ended the quarter with 1.19 billion in cash and cash equivalents. Cap ex was $42.1 million.

Juniper CEO Rami Rahim commented, "Despite market uncertainties, I remain confident in our strategy and our ability to deliver another year of healthy revenue growth based on the momentum we are seeing with our customers, the continued strength of our backlog, and the improvements we are seeing with respect to supply."

Supply Chain Challenges Through 2023

Supply chain shortages have been improving, but they are still challenging. The Company has taken steps to increase its inventory levels and purchase commitments but expects lead times to stay extended in addition to higher freight and logistics expenses. The elevated costs and extended lead times are expected to "persist" through 2023. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivables grew to 70 days in Q1 2023, up from 65 days in the year-ago period but down from 76 in the prior Q4 2022 quarter.

In-Lines Guidance for Q2 2023

Juniper issued in-line guidance for Q2 2023 for EPS in the range of $0.49 to $0.59 versus $0.53 consensus analyst estimates. The Company expects revenues between $1.36 to $1.46 billion versus $1.4 billion analyst estimates. Non-GAAP margin is expected to be around 58%, and operating expenses around $590 million. Non-GAAP operating margins will be approximately 16.2%. A cash dividend of $0.22 per share will be paid on June 22, 2023, to shareholders on record as of the close of business on June 1, 2023.

Weekly Cup and Handle

The weekly candlestick chart on JNPR shows the weekly cup and handle attempt having trouble as the handle loses steam on a (7.8%) downdraft. The cup lip line originated in April 2022 at $33.92 as shares fell to a low of $24.66 in October 2022.

JNPR eventually rallied to retest the weekly cup lip line in April 2023 before sinking to form the handle low at $28.16. JNPR staged a bounce on the weekly market structure low (MSL) breakout through the $29.36 trigger on its way towards a third test of the cup lip line, but its legs were chopped on a solid wave of selling that took shares back down to test the weekly 50-period moving average (MA) support at $29.91.

The weekly RSI fell under the 50-band, indicating a sudden momentum reversal. Pullback support levels are $29.36, $28.16, $27.53 and $26.10.
