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.

Why Kratos (KTOS) Stock Is Up Today

KTOS Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of aerospace and defense company Kratos (NASDAQ: KTOS) jumped 2.8% in the morning session after the company announced it had been awarded Phase 1 of a contract by the U.S. Navy to develop a sustainment capability for its AN/SPY-1 radar systems. 

The single-award agreement, which has a projected ceiling of $175 million across multiple phases, involves developing a support system for the critical radar technology. These radar systems are deployed on the Navy's Aegis-equipped cruisers and destroyers and are expected to remain in service for decades. This contract represented a significant win for Kratos, signaling confidence from a major military branch and securing a potential long-term revenue stream.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $99.52, up 3.5% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Kratos’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 32 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 11 days ago when the stock gained 4.2% on the news that RBC raised its price target on the company. Also, Kratos was selected as the exclusive U.S. manufacturer for Elroy Air's Chaparral cargo drone. 

The investment firm RBC increased its price target on the stock to $90 from $65 while keeping an Outperform rating. In separate news, the uncrewed aircraft specialist was picked by Elroy Air for an initial five-year contract to speed up high-volume production of its Chaparral drone. This hybrid-electric aircraft was designed to carry a 135kg payload in an underslung cargo pod over a range of 300 miles for both commercial and military use. 

Adding to the day's positive developments, Kratos also announced it would display its advanced unmanned jet drones at the upcoming Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Air Show.

Kratos is up 277% since the beginning of the year, and at $99.52 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Kratos’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $5,052.

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.
