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.

Genesco, Lovesac, and Sphere Entertainment Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know

GCO Cover Image

What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after a confluence of positive economic data suggested a healthy outlook for consumer spending. 

Key indicators are boosting investor optimism. Financial markets are anticipating a September interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve following a cooling job market report. A rate cut typically lowers borrowing costs for consumers, potentially increasing disposable income for spending on non-essential goods. Further bolstering this outlook, the latest Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of inflation, edged down 0.1% in August. This suggests inflation is moderating, which helps preserve consumer purchasing power. Additionally, major U.S. banks have reported that consumers remain financially healthy, with spending holding steady and credit quality remaining solid, creating a supportive backdrop for consumer-focused companies.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Among others, the following stocks were impacted:

Zooming In On Lovesac (LOVE)

Lovesac’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 33 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 2 days ago when the stock dropped 3% on the news that the company disclosed it suffered a data breach resulting from a ransomware attack. 

According to reports, hackers gained unauthorized access to Lovesac's internal systems between February 12 and March 3, 2025, and stole data. The incident is linked to the RansomHub ransomware group. While the company has not disclosed the exact number of individuals affected, the stolen information includes full names and other sensitive personal identifiers. Lovesac discovered the suspicious activity on February 28. In response, the company is offering two years of complimentary identity monitoring and credit protection services through Experian to those impacted. Lovesac stated that it has no indication the stolen data has been misused but has taken steps to secure its network against future attacks.

Lovesac is down 15.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $20.17 per share, it is trading 47.8% below its 52-week high of $38.64 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Lovesac’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $720.18.
