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.

Intel (INTC) Stock Is Up, What You Need To Know

INTC Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of computer processor maker Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) jumped 3.8% in the afternoon session after reports surfaced that the company was in early talks with its competitor, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), about a potential deal to manufacture chips for them. 

The potential deal was viewed as a major vote of confidence in Intel's push to build its foundry business, which makes chips for other companies. A partnership would be significant because AMD, a fierce competitor, has historically relied on Taiwan's TSMC for manufacturing its chips. For Intel, securing its main rival as a customer would validate its manufacturing technology and its ambition to compete with global foundry leaders. For AMD, the arrangement could provide a US-based production alternative and increase its bargaining power with other suppliers.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $37.33, up 3.9% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Intel’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 36 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 2 days ago when the stock dropped 3.1% as an analyst note from Deutsche Bank tempered investor enthusiasm, leading to some profit-taking. 

The bank reiterated a "hold" rating on the stock. While it raised its price target to $30 from a previous $23, the new target remained below the level where the shares were trading. The cautious view gave investors a reason to sell and lock in gains, especially after the stock had a strong rally through September. The move also came as the broader market showed weakness amid concerns over a potential government shutdown.

Intel is up 84.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $37.33 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Intel’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $731.86.

Today’s young investors won’t have read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.
