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 BJ's (BJ) Stock Is Trading Lower Today

BJ Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of membership-only discount retailer BJ’s Wholesale Club (NYSE: BJ) fell 3.7% in the morning session as investors reacted to competitive pressures after Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) announced an aggressive expansion of its same-day grocery delivery service. The e-commerce giant's aggressive push to expand same-day grocery delivery to over 3,300 U.S. cities intensified competitive concerns across the grocery sector. Amazon's service will include perishable items like produce, meat, and dairy, directly challenging established players. The news impacted several grocery-related stocks, with Instacart (CART) and Kroger (KR) also seeing declines.

What Is The Market Telling Us

BJ’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 4 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 5 months ago when the stock gained 13.2% on the news that the company wrapped up a strong fourth-quarter (fiscal 2024), exceeding analysts' expectations for EPS despite revenue coming in line with estimates. The standout metric was a 4.6% jump in comparable club sales (excluding gas), fueled by stronger foot traffic and a 26% surge in digital sales. That's a good sign customers are staying engaged. However, total sales dipped 1.5% from the previous year because there was one less week in the quarter. Looking ahead, BJ's full-year EPS guidance missed Wall Street's forecasts, raising concerns about margin pressures and economic uncertainty. Still this was a strong quarter.

BJ's is up 19.3% since the beginning of the year, but at $105.23 per share, it is still trading 12.3% below its 52-week high of $119.94 from April 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of BJ’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,591.
