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 PACCAR (PCAR) Stock Is Trading Up Today

PCAR Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of trucking company PACCAR (NASDAQ: PCAR) jumped 4.9% in the morning session after the U.S. administration announced it would impose a 25% tariff on imported heavy-duty trucks. 

The move was aimed at protecting domestic producers, such as PACCAR's Peterbilt and Kenworth brands, from foreign competition. The company was seen as a major beneficiary because it assembles most of its trucks sold in the U.S. domestically. According to analysts, 95% of PACCAR's Class 8 trucks sold in the country were manufactured there. In contrast, competitors like Daimler Truck and Volkswagen-owned Traton produced most of their U.S.-sold trucks in Mexico. The policy was expected to help PACCAR increase its market share and potentially secure higher prices. While PACCAR's stock rose, shares of its European competitors fell on the news.

What Is The Market Telling Us

PACCAR’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 7 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 11 months ago when the stock gained 7.8% on the news that stocks rallied as Republican party candidate Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 US presidential election. 

For industrials stocks, President-elect Trump is considered more pro-business and a defender of American industrial interests. This could generally lead to a more robust capital expenditures and investment environment.

PACCAR is down 3% since the beginning of the year, and at $100.35 per share, it is trading 15.3% below its 52-week high of $118.41 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of PACCAR’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,739.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
