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.

PacBio (PACB) Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know

PACB Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of genomics company Pacific Biosciences of California (NASDAQ: PACB) jumped 10.4% in the afternoon session after it received favorable reviews from Wall Street, with analysts raising their price targets following the company's strong second-quarter performance and promising strategic update. Piper Sandler boosted its price target to $1.50, and analysts at Bernstein SocGen Group followed suit, raising their target to $1.70 while maintaining an Outperform rating. Bernstein noted “promising signs of clinical uptake” for the company’s systems. This optimism follows Pacific Biosciences’ second-quarter results, where it beat estimates, posting revenue of $39.8 million, up from the previous year, and a narrower-than-expected adjusted loss. The positive performance is linked to a strategic pivot towards clinical and biopharma markets, which is driving strong global revenue growth and helping the company on its stated path to achieving cash flow positivity by 2027.

What Is The Market Telling Us

PacBio’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 89 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for PacBio and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 5 days ago when the stock gained 7.1% on the news that the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter 2025 financial results, beating revenue and earnings forecasts. The genomics company announced revenue of $39.77 million, a 10.4% increase year-over-year, which surpassed analysts' expectations by 7.6%. Its non-GAAP loss of $0.13 per share was also 21.5% narrower than anticipated. This performance was supported by a significant improvement in profitability, with the company's operating margin reaching negative 113%, a substantial improvement from negative 488% in the same quarter last year. The results suggest growing adoption of the company’s sequencing platforms, such as the Revio and Onso systems, which are used by researchers to analyze genomes with high accuracy.

PacBio is down 26.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.33 per share, it is trading 50% below its 52-week high of $2.65 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of PacBio’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $236.19.

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.
