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 Are Gray Television (GTN) Shares Soaring Today

By: StockStory

What Happened?

Shares of local television broadcasting and media company Gray Television (NYSE: GTN) jumped 19.4% in the morning session after multiple analysts raised their price targets on the stock, citing benefits from recent acquisitions and improvements to the company's balance sheet. The positive sentiment from Wall Street came from at least two firms. Benchmark raised its price target significantly to $9.00 from $7.00, maintaining a Buy rating. The firm's analyst noted that Gray's recent refinancing has 'completely revitalized' its balance sheet and that recent acquisitions were 'massively accretive and deleveraging.' Similarly, Wells Fargo increased its price target to $5.00 from $4.50, citing future benefits from deleveraging and free cash flow accretion tied to the company's mergers and acquisitions strategy. These upgrades followed Gray's announcement on August 8th that it would acquire television stations in ten markets from Allen Media Group.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Gray Television’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 45 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Gray Television and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 13 days ago when the stock dropped 4% on the news that the latest U.S. consumer confidence report revealed underlying weakness despite a headline increase, raising concerns about future spending. While the Conference Board's headline Consumer Confidence Index rose to 97.2 in July, the details painted a more cautious picture for investors. The Present Situation Index, a measure of consumers' assessment of current business and labor market conditions, actually fell. More telling for the sector, the report showed a decline in buying intentions for major discretionary items such as homes, cars, and most appliances. This combination of factors signals potential weakness in future consumer spending, casting a shadow over companies that rely on non-essential purchases.

Gray Television is up 50.4% since the beginning of the year, but at $5.04 per share, it is still trading 15.3% below its 52-week high of $5.95 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Gray Television’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $322.46.

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.
