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.

Asana and Teradata Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know

ASAN Cover Image

What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after President Donald Trump eased concerns over escalating trade tensions with China, calming markets rattled by his earlier tariff threats. U.S. stocks rose sharply, with the Nasdaq-100 jumping nearly 2%, following a post on Truth Social where Trump suggested the trade conflict would not worsen. This shift in tone provided significant relief to investors, who had driven a sharp sell-off the previous Friday due to fears of higher tariffs. Technology companies with significant international supply chains and sales, such as AMD and Nvidia, led the market rally, with their shares climbing 4.2% and 3.4%, respectively. The broader market indexes, including the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, also saw substantial gains, reflecting widespread optimism that a potentially damaging trade war might be averted.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Among others, the following stocks were impacted:

Zooming In On Asana (ASAN)

Asana’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 38 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 3 days ago when the stock dropped 7.8% as President Donald Trump threatened to impose 'massive' tariffs on Chinese products, reigniting trade war fears. In a social media post, Trump stated the move was a potential countermeasure to China 'becoming very hostile,' following Beijing's announcement of new export controls on rare-earth minerals. These minerals are critical components for magnets used across the automotive, electronics, and defense industries. The unexpected development jolted Wall Street, which had been trending higher. The news sent all major indices into negative territory, with the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite falling 1.7%, the S&P 500 dropping 1.3%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average declining by 0.9%.

Asana is down 28.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $14.28 per share, it is trading 48.1% below its 52-week high of $27.52 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Asana’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $585.73.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
