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.

Microchip Technology (MCHP) Stock Is Up, What You Need To Know

MCHP Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of analog chipmaker Microchip Technology (NASDAQ: MCHP) jumped 3.4% in the morning session after a wave of optimism swept through the semiconductor industry following a major deal between Samsung, SK Hynix, and OpenAI. 

The South Korean chipmakers signed initial agreements to supply advanced memory chips for OpenAI's ambitious Stargate AI data center project. This news sent shares of Samsung and SK Hynix to multiyear highs and boosted positive feelings for chip-related technology stocks globally. The deal was seen as a strong indicator of the massive demand for the infrastructure needed to power next-generation artificial intelligence technologies, lifting investor sentiment for the entire sector.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $66.00, up 3% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Microchip Technology’s shares are very volatile and have had 21 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 27 days ago when the stock gained 2.5% after a sector-wide rally driven by strong earnings from peer chip designer Broadcom (AVGO). Broadcom, a key player in the semiconductor industry, reported robust earnings and indicated that demand for its AI-focused chips is surpassing expectations. Following the news, Broadcom's shares surged, lifting sentiment across the chip sector. This positive report from an industry peer suggests healthy demand for semiconductor products, particularly those related to artificial intelligence, which benefits other companies in the space like Microchip Technology. The rally was also supported by broader market optimism after a jobs report reinforced investor expectations for a potential interest rate cut.

Microchip Technology is up 16% since the beginning of the year, but at $66.00 per share, it is still trading 16.5% below its 52-week high of $79.05 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Microchip Technology’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,272.
