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.

Mirion, MillerKnoll, DXC, and Accenture Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know

MIR Cover Image

What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the morning session after the August Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report showed that inflation is not accelerating unexpectedly, raising hopes for future interest rate cuts. 

The report, a key inflation gauge for the Federal Reserve, indicated that the headline PCE price index rose by 0.3% month-over-month, aligning with consensus forecasts. More importantly, the core index, which strips out volatile food and energy costs and is closely watched by the Fed, increased by a milder 0.2%. This steady data provided reassurance to investors that persistent inflationary pressures are stable. 

The market's positive reaction stems from hopes that this could keep the central bank on its anticipated path of monetary easing. Such cuts can stimulate the economy and make stocks more attractive to investors, leading to a cautiously optimistic mood on Wall Street.

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 Mirion (MIR)

Mirion’s shares are quite volatile and have had 16 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 about 23 hours ago when the stock dropped 7.9% on the news that it announced plans to acquire Paragon Energy Solutions for about $585 million, revealed plans for a $600 million capital raise, and lowered its 2025 revenue growth forecast. 

To fund the acquisition, Mirion announced a $350 million public stock offering and a $250 million private offering of convertible bonds. Such offerings can put pressure on a stock's price by increasing the number of shares, which can dilute the value for existing shareholders. 

Compounding the negative sentiment, the company revised its 2025 organic revenue growth guidance downward to a range of 4.5% to 6.0%, from a previous estimate of 5.0% to 7.0%. Mirion attributed the weaker outlook to reduced expectations in its Labs & Research division, lower demand from China, and delays in a European defense order.

Mirion is up 40.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $23.76 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $24.60 from September 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Mirion’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,237.

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.
