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.

Why Viatris (VTRS) Stock Is Up Today

VTRS Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of medication company Viatris (NASDAQ: VTRS) jumped 3% in the morning session after it received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Iron Sucrose Injection, USP, the first generic version of Venofer® Injection. The intravenous iron replacement product is used to treat iron deficiency anemia in adult and pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease. This approval marks a significant milestone, as it's the first generic version of Venofer®, a drug with annual U.S. sales of approximately $515 million. Crucially, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also granted Viatris a Competitive Generic Therapy (CGT) designation for two strengths of the drug. This designation provides Viatris with 180 days of market exclusivity, giving the company a significant first-mover advantage to capture market share for this complex-to-manufacture product.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $9.93, up 2.3% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Viatris’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 8 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 24 days ago when the stock dropped 3.8% on the news that its experimental therapy for blepharitis, an inflammatory condition of the eyelids, failed to meet the main goal in a late-stage study. The global healthcare company announced that its Phase 3 trial for an ophthalmic ointment, pimecrolimus 0.3% (MR-139), did not achieve its primary endpoint. The study, which involved 477 patients, was designed to evaluate if the treatment led to the complete resolution of debris on the eyelids after six weeks of use. This outcome was not met, prompting the company to re-evaluate the future of the drug's development program. Viatris' Chief R&D Officer, Philippe Martin, stated that the company was considering its next steps, which could include revising an additional planned Phase 3 study for the therapy. The setback in the trial for this eye condition represents a disappointment for the company's pipeline.

Viatris is down 20.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $9.93 per share, it is trading 25.8% below its 52-week high of $13.37 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Viatris’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $596.45.

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.
