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.

Wayfair, Angi, and Revolve Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know

W Cover Image

What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after investors' concerns about US-China trade tensions were eased by President Trump's more conciliatory tone over the weekend. 

Following a sharp market drop the previous trading day driven by trade conflict escalation, Wall Street's main indexes opened significantly higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all saw gains of over 1%. The rebound was attributed to comments made by the President on social media, where he stated the "China situation will all be fine" and that the U.S. "wants to help China, not hurt it!!!" This shift in rhetoric prompted a return to risk assets, as traders brushed aside the previous week's fears. The rally ahead of the upcoming earnings season suggests that the "buy-the-dip" mentality remains strong among investors whenever trade jitters subside.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Among others, the following stocks were impacted:

Zooming In On Wayfair (W)

Wayfair’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 48 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 3 days ago when the stock dropped 4.1% on the news that President Donald Trump threatened to impose 'massive' new tariffs on Chinese goods. 

In a post on his Truth Social network, Trump stated that his administration is calculating a 'massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products.' Trump targeted China's tightening controls on rare earth metals, which are vital components in many technology products from electric vehicles to defense systems. The threat immediately impacted the market, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq sinking 2.4% and the broader S&P 500 falling 1.7%. Such tariffs could significantly disrupt the global supply chains that many technology companies rely on for manufacturing and components. The policy uncertainty also raises fears of retaliatory measures from China, which could impact sales in a key international market for many U.S. tech firms, leading to investor concern over future profitability. 

Earlier in the week, China announced new export controls on the critical minerals. Beijing's Commerce Ministry stated that foreign suppliers now need government approval to export products containing certain rare-earth materials. These materials are essential for producing high-tech goods, including computer chips, electric vehicles, and defense technology. Analysts viewed the move as a strategic assertion of China's dominance in the global rare earth supply chain, particularly amid ongoing trade tensions.

Wayfair is up 66.1% since the beginning of the year, but at $76.51 per share, it is still trading 15.1% below its 52-week high of $90.17 from September 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Wayfair’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $249.43.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
