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 Mayville Engineering (MEC) Shares Are Getting Obliterated Today

MEC Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of vertically integrated manufacturing solutions provider Mayville Engineering Company (NYSE: MEC) fell 16.3% in the afternoon session after the company reported disappointing second-quarter results and slashed its full-year financial guidance, citing weak market demand. The manufacturing company's sales fell 19.1% from the prior year, hit by customers reducing their stockpiles across key markets like agriculture and construction. This sales slump resulted in a net loss of $1.1 million, a stark contrast to the $3.8 million profit recorded in the same quarter last year. Looking forward, the company cut its full-year revenue and earnings forecasts, pointing to continued soft demand. In a significant move that added to investor worries, Mayville also withdrew its 2026 financial targets, citing an uncertain economic outlook and weak market conditions.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Mayville Engineering’s shares are somewhat volatile and have had 12 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Mayville Engineering and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 16 days ago when the stock gained 3.8% amid broader positive market sentiment. There was no new company-specific news to explain the move for the manufacturing and engineering firm. Instead, the stock appears to be benefiting from a wider market updraft, as U.S. stock futures pointed to a higher open. This set a positive tone for investors who were looking ahead to a heavy slate of corporate earnings reports from major companies during the week. Notably, the earnings season got off to a strong start: More than 85% of the S&P 500 stocks that reported earnings exceeded expectations, according to FactSet data. This robust performance fueled positive sentiment, suggesting that corporate profitability remained resilient despite ongoing economic uncertainties.

Mayville Engineering is down 9.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $14.07 per share, it is trading 35.5% below its 52-week high of $21.81 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Mayville Engineering’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,822.

Today’s young investors won’t have read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.
