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.

Applied Digital, Lumen, Cogent, Grid Dynamics, and Pure Storage Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know

APLD Cover Image

What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after sentiment in the tech space improved, fueled by significant developments from OpenAI. 

OpenAI's valuation reportedly soared to $500 billion after a share sale, making it the world's most valuable startup and reinforcing investor confidence in the AI boom. Further fueling the rally, OpenAI announced partnerships with South Korean chipmakers SK Hynix and Samsung for its ambitious 'Stargate' project, a massive undertaking aimed at building AI infrastructure. This news created a positive ripple effect across the tech landscape, particularly for semiconductor companies, as it signals sustained, large-scale investment in the hardware that powers AI. The developments have bolstered the entire sector, pushing technology stocks to new records.

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 Applied Digital (APLD)

Applied Digital’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 94 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 9 days ago when the stock gained 1.9% as the company continued to see positive momentum from major contracts announced earlier in the month for its artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure business. 

The stock's recent winning streak was fueled by expanded data center leases with cloud provider CoreWeave. These deals boosted Applied Digital's total contracted capacity to 400 megawatts and are expected to bring in about $11 billion in future lease revenue. This news highlighted the company's successful shift from crypto-focused data centers to what it calls “AI Factories.” The move positions Applied Digital to capitalize on the high demand for high-performance computing for AI. Investors also noted the company's connection to major players in the space, including its place in Nvidia's AI investment portfolio. The strong stock performance pushed its price above the average analyst 12-month target, signaling the market's growing confidence in its AI-focused strategy.

Applied Digital is up 244% since the beginning of the year, and at $26.83 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Applied Digital’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $298,059.
