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.

JLL (JLL) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why

JLL Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of real estate firm JLL (NYSE: JLL) jumped 3.3% in the afternoon session after an analyst at Goldman Sachs raised their price target on the stock and reaffirmed a "Buy" rating. Analyst Julien Blouin cited the company's strong performance and positive outlook in the decision to increase the price target to $378 from $338. This bullish sentiment is supported by several recent positive developments for the commercial real estate services firm. JLL recently announced the integration of new artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into its building operations platform, Prism, a move aimed at enhancing efficiency and reducing costs for its property management teams. The upgrade also follows a strong second-quarter earnings report where the company's earnings per share of $3.30 surpassed Wall Street expectations, contributing to the stock reaching a new all-time high. The broader commercial real estate market appears to be in a strong recovery, with leasing activity surging and major firms, including JLL, raising their 2025 forecasts.

What Is The Market Telling Us

JLL’s shares are somewhat volatile and have had 10 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 15 days ago when the stock gained 6.6% on the news that its peer in the real estate services sector, CBRE Group, reported strong second-quarter earnings and revenues that surpassed analyst expectations. The positive results from a major industry competitor suggested favorable market conditions for the entire real estate services sector. This sentiment was bolstered by the fact that JLL was scheduled to report its own results on August 6, with consensus earnings per share estimates having been revised higher over the past month. The expected earnings represented a significant year-over-year increase, indicating analyst confidence.

JLL is up 17.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $293.82 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of JLL’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,971.

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.
