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 Is Broadcom (AVGO) Stock Rocketing Higher Today

AVGO Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of fabless chip and software maker Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) jumped 9.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported solid second-quarter financial results, added a new AI customer, and provided an optimistic revenue forecast for the upcoming quarter, signaling healthy business momentum. 

The company posted second-quarter revenue of $15.95 billion, a 22% increase year-over-year that was in line with Wall Street expectations, while its adjusted earnings of $1.69 per share narrowly beat analyst estimates. Broadcom also fueled investor optimism by guiding for third-quarter revenue of around $17.4 billion, surpassing consensus forecasts. 

Beyond the headline numbers, the report highlighted strong operational performance, including a significant improvement in inventory management and a rise in operating margin to 36.9% from 29% in the same quarter last year. 

Notably, the company added during the earnings call that it secured "a $10B order from a fourth XPU customer (we believe this is OpenAI)." 

This combination of a solid earnings report, strong forward guidance, and improved profitability metrics bolstered investor confidence in the company's outlook.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Broadcom’s shares are very volatile and have had 25 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 dropped 4.2% on the news that stocks in the semiconductor sector pulled back, driven by underwhelming news from key industry peers. 

The decline was linked to investor reaction to AI-chip leader Nvidia's recent earnings report, which, despite a positive forecast, failed to exceed Wall Street's lofty expectations, causing its shares to fall. This created a ripple effect across the industry, impacting other chipmakers. 

Adding to the pressure, a weak forecast from fellow chipmaker Marvell further soured sentiment on the entire semiconductor sector. The negative news from these major players prompted investors to reassess the near-term growth prospects for chip companies, leading to widespread losses among the group.

Broadcom is up 46% since the beginning of the year, and at $338.80 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Broadcom’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $9,664.
