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.

AeroVironment (AVAV) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why

AVAV Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of aerospace and defense company AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV) jumped 3.7% in the afternoon session after the company unveiled a new advanced payload for its JUMP 20 uncrewed autonomous system (UAS), the Arkeus Hyperspectral Optical Radar (HSOR). 

The company described the technology as a "transformative step forward in reconnaissance technology," designed to provide comprehensive situational awareness even in degraded visual conditions by using hyperspectral imaging to analyze materials' unique spectral signatures. This development allows for rapid environmental analysis, such as determining water depth and foliage density, day or night. 

Adding to the positive sentiment, BTIG set a new price target for AeroVironment at $300. The news follows a series of recent positive announcements, including a successful first-ever air launch of its Switchblade 600 from an MQ-9A Reaper and plans for European expansion with a new office in the United Kingdom.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $250.36, up 1.3% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

AeroVironment’s shares are very volatile and have had 24 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 3 days ago when the stock gained 4.3% on the news that the company announced it had secured a nearly $240 million order for its long-haul laser communications terminals. 

The contract, from an undisclosed customer, will see the advanced systems deployed in orbit. These terminals enable the high-speed, high-bandwidth transfer of data between satellites across different orbital altitudes. The company highlighted this as a significant milestone, transitioning its next-generation technology from successful demonstrations in the lab to actual deployment in space. This order validates AeroVironment's capabilities in the growing space communications market and indicates the company is prepared to scale manufacturing to meet customer demand for these advanced systems.

AeroVironment is up 60% since the beginning of the year, but at $250.36 per share, it is still trading 12.1% below its 52-week high of $284.95 from June 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of AeroVironment’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $3,915.

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.
