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.

FedEx Stock Dropped as Guidance Split Analysts

FedEx Stock (NYSE: FDX/quote">NYSE: FDX)

FedEx (NYSE: FDX/quote">NYSE: FDX) shares were trading down on Wednesday after the company said that the midpoint of its outlook range for the entire year would be lower than the consensus estimate. On Wall Street, opinions are mixed on whether the shipper will face more headwinds that will squeeze their margins or if the cost-cutting tale is taking hold.

According to Jonathan Chappell, an analyst with Evercore ISI, the FQ4 EPS beat from the Memphis-based shipping giant was impressive, particularly when considering the ongoing volume/revenue issues across all business lines. He observed that the FedEx cost strategy produces results with each quarter of margin increase despite revenue challenges, providing greater confidence in the shipper’s execution of its plan. On FDX, the investment group maintained its Overweight recommendation.

FedEx continues to demonstrate early success with the expense plan, with Bank of America analyst Ken Hoexter maintaining his optimistic stance on the company. Hoexter noted that FedEx’s profitability rose in the second half of the fiscal year even though the company’s ground volume decreased; this was the first time in the company’s history that this feat was accomplished. FedEx remained BofA’s top recommendation among large-cap transport stocks due to the company’s promising growth prospects.

Ravi Shanker, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, took a more cautious approach to the print and issued a caution that the FY24 estimate had some fractures. According to the most recent information provided by Shanker, “With cost savings looking relatively on track, it will come down to revenues to determine where FY24 finally ends up.”

Josh Arnold, the leader of the Investing Group at Seeking Alpha, warned that the volume forecast for FedEx seems to be poor, which might affect margins and profitability. FedEx stock is now rated with a Sell rating by Arnold.

Even though FedEx stock was down 2.77% at the end of Wednesday’s trade, it’s still up more than 25% year to date.
