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 Is Vertiv (VRT) Stock Rocketing Higher Today

VRT Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of data center products and services company Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) jumped 11.1% in the morning session after the company presented a positive outlook at the Goldman Sachs Communicopia + Technology Conference. During the event on September 9, executives highlighted robust order growth driven by demand from hyperscalers, colocation data centers, and NeoCloud clients. The company reported a 15% increase in second-quarter orders and is targeting a 25% EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) margin by 2029. To meet growing demand, particularly for high-density computing like AI, Vertiv is expanding its liquid cooling capacity and service organization. This strategy appears to be paying off, as the company noted it is gaining market share in the key colocation and hyperscale segments, signaling strong business momentum.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Vertiv’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 42 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Vertiv and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 12 days ago when the stock dropped 5.2% after a broader market pullback that particularly impacted the technology and semiconductor sectors. The decline was not isolated to Vertiv, as major indices retreated from recent all-time highs. The S&P 500 dropped by 0.7%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1.2%. The semiconductor industry faced significant pressure, with the PHLX Semiconductor Index declining by over 3%. This sector-wide downturn also affected major technology companies, including Nvidia and Broadcom, which experienced notable drops. The broad-based selling in the tech space appears to be the primary driver behind the pressure on Vertiv's shares.

Vertiv is up 17% since the beginning of the year, but at $138.30 per share, it is still trading 9.9% below its 52-week high of $153.49 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Vertiv’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $8,184.
