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 Is Zurn Elkay (ZWS) Stock Rocketing Higher Today

ZWS Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of water management solutions company Zurn Elkay (NYSE: ZWS) jumped 15.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported strong second-quarter 2025 financial results that surpassed expectations and raised its full-year guidance. The water solutions provider announced net sales of $445 million, an 8% increase year-over-year that surpassed analyst expectations. Profitability also showed significant strength, with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growing 27% to $0.42 and adjusted EBITDA margins expanding. Buoyed by the strong performance, Zurn Elkay raised its full-year 2025 outlook for sales, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. The company also demonstrated confidence by repurchasing $33 million worth of its stock during the quarter. This robust corporate performance occurred despite mixed conditions in the broader Industrials sector, and the positive investor sentiment pushed the stock to a new 52-week high.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Zurn Elkay’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 4 moves greater than 5% over the last year. Moves this big are rare for Zurn Elkay and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 11 months ago when the stock gained 12.9% on the news that the S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that the company would be added to the S&P SmallCap 600 index before the opening of trading on Monday, September 23, 2024. Being included in the index means that Zurn Elkay Water Solutions will likely be held by many mutual funds and ETFs, which could potentially drive up demand for the stock. We note that while buying of the stock could increase, this development does not change the fundamentals of the company. Revenue growth, expense efficiency, and capital intensity of the business, for instance, are not impacted by index inclusion or exclusion, so this is more of a technical tailwind for the stock.

Zurn Elkay is up 17.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $43.31 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Zurn Elkay’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,464.
