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.

Why Autodesk (ADSK) Shares Are Sliding Today

What Happened?

Shares of design software company Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) fell 10.2% in the morning session after the company reported underwhelming third-quarter results. Revenue in the quarter was just in line. Management acknowledged that growth had slowed compared to recent years. Looking ahead, the business is tracking toward the lower end of its guidance range. This implies that, without stronger performance in the upcoming quarters, the company may struggle to meet its projections. By the market reaction, it seems like stronger beats and/or guidance were perhaps expected.

What The Market Is Telling Us

Autodesk’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 4 moves greater than 5% over the last year. Moves this big are rare for Autodesk and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business. 

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 7 months ago when the stock dropped 7.8% on the news that the company provided an update on an ongoing internal investigation, which will delay filing its annual report for the year ended January 31, 2024 within the grace period provided by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). In a report filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, the company revealed it was working with outside counsel and advisers regarding its free cash flow and non-GAAP operating margin practices. The market hates uncertainty, and this update is likely to raise concerns about the business.

Autodesk is up 24.7% since the beginning of the year, but at $291.87 per share, it is still trading 9.2% below its 52-week high of $321.27 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Autodesk’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,620.
