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 Powell (POWL) Stock Is Trading Lower Today

POWL Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of electrical energy control systems manufacturer Powell (NYSE: POWL) fell 1.3% in the afternoon session as investors reacted to rising Treasury yields and uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs. 

Major indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all tumbled as the market entered what is historically its most challenging month. The negative sentiment was fueled by a federal appeals court ruling that declared certain U.S. tariffs unconstitutional, injecting fresh uncertainty into supply chains and corporate earnings, although the tariffs remain in place for now. 

Additionally, rising Treasury yields created tighter financial conditions, particularly impacting growth-oriented stocks. Investors are also cautiously awaiting this week's key labor market reports, which will heavily influence the Federal Reserve's upcoming decision on interest rates.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Powell? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Powell’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 45 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 7 days ago when the stock gained 5.9% on the news that it received a positive mention from CNBC's Jim Cramer. On his “Mad Money Lightning Round” segment, Cramer recommended the stock as a "buy," likely boosting investor confidence in the company. The endorsement follows recent positive news from the company itself. On August 20, Powell Industries announced a $12.4 million investment to expand its production capacity, a move that signals the company is preparing for future growth and increased demand for its products.

Powell is up 15% since the beginning of the year, but at $262.99 per share, it is still trading 25.4% below its 52-week high of $352.37 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Powell’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $9,581.
