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.

SMTC CLASS ACTION NOTICE: Kirby McInerney LLP Files Securities Class Action on Behalf of Semtech Corporation Investors

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Wronski v. Semtech Corporation et al., Case No. 2:25-cv-02058, on behalf of all persons and entities who acquired Semtech Corporation (“Semtech” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SMTC) securities during the period from August 27, 2024, through February 7, 2025 (“the Class Period”). Investors have until April 22, 2025, to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

[LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION]

On February 7, 2025, Robert W. Baird & Co. cut its price target on Semtech stock from $80 to $60, noting a slower-than-expected uptake of Semtech’s active copper cables, which offer extended reach to allow for high volume switch-to-server connections. The brokerage also noted that it has seen muted Active Copper Cable (“ACC”) benchmarking activity overall as well. On this news, the price of Semtech shares declined by $5.99, from $60.50 per share on February 6, 2025, to close at $54.51 on February 7, 2025.

On February 7, 2025, Semtech filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC. Therein, Semtech revealed for the first time that for fiscal year 2026, net sales from the Company’s CopperEdge products used in active copper cables “are expected to be lower than the Company’s previously disclosed floor case estimate of $50 million due to rack architecture changes, with no expected ramp-up over the course of fiscal year 2026.” The Company also revealed that the “revised estimates are based on recent feedback from a server rack customer and correlated to discussions with end users of the server rack platform.” That customer was apparently NVIDIA. On this news, the price of Semtech shares fell by $16.91 per share, or approximately 31%, from $54.51 per share on February 7, 2025, to close at $37.60 on February 10, 2025.

The complaint alleges that defendants, throughout the Class Period, has failed to disclose that Semtech’s CopperEdge products suffered from heating issues, which caused NVIDIA to curtail its purchases and develop its own processing unit.
