About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Beyond DeepSeek: 4 Chinese ETFs for AI & Tech Exposure

Double exposure of China flag on coins stacking and stock market graph chart .It is symbol of china high growth economy and technology. — PhotoAs Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek continues to challenge American chip manufacturer NVIDIA for chip dominance, investors are looking to China for their next tech investments. Billionaire investor and founder of Appaloosa Management recently increased his firm’s holdings in companies like Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA) while drastically decreasing holdings in American companies like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). 

If you’re interested in exploring cutting-edge tech from China as an investor, you’re not alone. These four Chinese ETFs trade on major American stock exchanges, offering you a convenient way to diversify across this growing international area of interest. 

KWEB Provides Exposure to China’s Expanding Internet Sector

The KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSEARCA: KWEB) is made up of investments in China-based companies whose primary businesses are focused on Internet and Internet-related technology. Investors looking for stocks that provide services similar to Facebook and eBay to China’s middle class will appreciate this fund’s selection of holdings, as well as its exposure to the Hong Kong market. 

KWEB recently made social media headlines when it was added to hedge fund Appaloosa Management’s list of major holdings, with manager David Tepper increasing holdings by 21.5%. Major holdings in the fund include Alibaba, Tencent Holdings (OTC: TCTZF), and PDD Holdings (NASDAQ: PDD), which make up about 28% of the fund’s holdings.  

FXI Sees Strong Gains in 2025 Despite Tariff Concerns

Another favorite of Tepper that received a holding boost at the beginning of 2025, the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSEARCA: FXI), is a general large-cap fund covering a variety of Chinese industry sectors. Major holdings include Alibaba, Tencent Holdings, and tech retail service provider Meituan (OTCMKTS: MPNGF), which make up about 26.4% of the fund’s holdings. 

FXI has seen a sharp increase in share prices since early January 2025, despite the ongoing threat of tariffs on Chinese imports. It maintains a competitive 0.74% expense ratio, competitive with other international large-cap ETFs. 30% of the fund’s assets are held in financial services assets, which can also provide a convenient entry route to international fintech development. 

This fund also offers an impressive 2.11% dividend yield, as well as a near 50-50 split between assets headquartered in China and the Cayman Islands. This additional layer of diversification can be an extra appealing benefit for investors interested in broad exposure to the Chinese market. 

CQQQ Surges 54% Year-Over-Year as Chinese Tech Stocks Rebound

A high-tech offering from Invesco, the Invesco China Technology ETF (NYSEARCA: CQQQ), has seen a 54% increase in share prices from this time last year. With $734 million in assets under management held in companies like Tencent, PDD Holdings, and Meituan, CQQQ holds 148 stocks classified as “emerging tech sector” assets. 

Investors looking for a more specialized portfolio may want to opt for CQQQ over more broad Chinese ETFs due to its heavy software weighting. 19.0% of assets are held in software service providers, while an additional 8.7% is invested in electronics equipment. Analysts give this fund a Moderate Buy rating, though its 0.06% dividend yield makes it more suited to growth investors. 

TCHI Offers a Competitive 0.59% Expense Ratio

The iShares MSCI China Multisector Tech ETF (NASDAQ: TCHI) is a well-rounded tech ETF, with no more than 5.4% of assets concentrated in a single holding. Major components of this ETF include NetEase, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES), Xiaomi Corporation (OTCMKTS: XIACF), and investor favorite JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: JD), which make up about 15% of the fund’s $6.97 million assets under management.  

TCHI is also an affordably priced choice in addition to being a diverse one. It offers a competitive 0.59% expense ratio combined with a 2.16% dividend yield. Analysts give this ETF a Moderate Buy rating, though short interest has drastically increased since January 2025.
