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 Wix (WIX) Stock Is Trading Up Today

WIX Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of website building platform Wix (NASDAQ: WIX) jumped 5.3% in the afternoon session after analyst commentary indicated the company plans to prioritize growth over profitability in 2026. 

Following meetings with Wix's management, RBC Capital Markets reiterated its "Outperform" rating and a $210 price target on the stock. The investment firm noted that the web development company's philosophy is shifting to focus on growth, driven by new initiatives like its Base44 acquisition and opportunities in "vibe coding." While this strategic pivot is expected to increase marketing spending and temporarily pressure margins, RBC expressed an "incrementally positive" outlook, believing the stock is "likely under-priced heading into 2026." The market appears to agree, building on the stock's recent momentum, which has seen it gain over 32% in the past month. Other analysts, including those at CFRA and Benchmark, have also recently reiterated their own buy ratings, citing the company's strategic moves and growth trajectory.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Wix’s shares are very volatile and have had 22 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 5 days ago when the stock gained 4.4% as analysts reiterated positive ratings on the stock, highlighting the company's expansion into AI-driven 'vibe coding' technology. 

Benchmark reiterated its Buy rating with a $230 price target, pointing to the company's strategic moves into the new technology. Vibe coding involves developing software code by asking an AI program to produce it using natural language. Wix is financially backing Dazl, a vibe coding platform launched by a company co-founder, and also purchased startup Base44 this year to expand its presence in the field. The bullish sentiment is echoed by other analysts, with CFRA upgrading Wix's stock rating from Hold to Buy, and Forbes noting that eight analysts rate the stock a strong buy. This positive outlook is supported by consistent revenue growth and a significant increase in free cash flow.

Wix is down 16.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $181.08 per share, it is trading 26.6% below its 52-week high of $246.76 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Wix’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $712.18.

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.
