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.

AMD (AMD) Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know

AMD Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of computer processor maker AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) jumped 26.8% in the morning session after the company announced a massive, multi-year strategic partnership with OpenAI (the creator of ChatGPT) to supply its Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for the AI company's next-generation infrastructure. 

The agreement commits OpenAI to deploying up to 6 gigawatts of AMD's Instinct GPUs, starting with the AMD Instinct MI450 Series. The initial rollout of one gigawatt is scheduled for the second half of 2026. This scale signifies a long-term, multi-billion-dollar revenue stream for AMD, with some analysts projecting the deal could generate tens of billions of dollars in total revenue over its lifespan. To align interests, AMD issued OpenAI a warrant for up to 160 million shares of AMD common stock. These shares are structured to vest as specific milestones are achieved, including the initial deployment and subsequent scaling up to the full 6 gigawatts. This equity position signals a deep, long-term commitment and strong belief in AMD's technology and future on the part of one of the world's most influential AI companies. 

For investors, this deal does three things: 1) It validates the performance and readiness of AMD's Instinct GPU line for the most demanding AI workloads; 2) It secures a massive, long-term revenue commitment from a flagship client in the AI sector; and 3) It establishes AMD as an essential player in the global AI supply chain.

What Is The Market Telling Us

AMD’s shares are very volatile and have had 22 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for AMD and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock gained 3.6% after the company announced an expanded artificial intelligence (AI) partnership and reports surfaced of a potential manufacturing deal with rival Intel. 

The collaboration with enterprise AI firm Cohere involved deploying Cohere's AI models on AMD's Instinct GPU-powered infrastructure, a move aimed at competing in the enterprise and sovereign AI markets. In separate reports, it was noted that AMD was in early discussions to use Intel's foundry services for some of its chip production, which would mark a shift from its current producer, TSMC. The stock's rise was also supported by broader positive sentiment for the semiconductor sector, as strong demand for data center and AI chips lifted several major tech companies.

AMD is up 75.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $211.92 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of AMD’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,509.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
