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 Rocket Lab (RKLB) Shares Are Sliding Today

RKLB Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of aerospace and defense company Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) fell 4.6% in the morning session after investment firm Craig-Hallum initiated coverage with a "Hold" rating. 

The investment firm, Craig-Hallum, assigned the aerospace company a "Hold" rating and a $51 price target. While the firm acknowledged Rocket Lab's growth potential, particularly with its upcoming Neutron rocket, it expressed concerns that the stock was "priced for perfection." Analysts believed the ambitious timelines for the new rocket platform left little room for the delays or failures that are common in rocket development. The firm also highlighted competitive risks from established players like SpaceX. This cautious outlook from a newly covering analyst appeared to temper investor enthusiasm, as a "Hold" rating suggests an analyst believes the stock is fairly valued and does not recommend buying at current levels.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Rocket Lab? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Rocket Lab’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 78 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 6 days ago when the stock dropped 3.2% on the news that Cathie Wood's ARK Invest disclosed the sale of a significant number of shares. The prominent investment management firm's ARKX ETF sold 64,326 shares of the aerospace manufacturer, valued at over $3 million. This move by a high-profile investor appeared to prompt a wave of selling and profit-taking. The sale followed a period of massive gains for the stock, which had rallied significantly in the preceding weeks., Adding to the pressure, an analyst report published today described the stock as "overvalued" and "heavily technically overbought," suggesting that a near-term drop was likely after its recent run-up. The news of a competing space company, Firefly Aerospace, filing for an initial public offering (IPO) also may have weighed on sentiment, as some investors might have sold shares to reallocate capital to the new market entrant.,.

Rocket Lab is up 79.7% since the beginning of the year, but at $44.85 per share, it is still trading 12.7% below its 52-week high of $51.39 from July 2025.

Today’s young investors won’t have read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.
