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 Natera (NTRA) Stock Is Down Today

NTRA Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of genetic testing company Natera (NASDAQ: NTRA). fell 0.9% in the morning session after the company announced an unfavorable court ruling in its ongoing patent litigation with competitor NeoGenomics. 

The U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina invalidated certain claims in two patents that Natera had asserted against NeoGenomics' v1.1 RaDaR test. This legal setback was seen as a victory for NeoGenomics, whose own stock surged on the news. 

Natera stated that it is evaluating its options, which include a potential appeal. The company also clarified that the ruling does not impact a separate patent that was previously used to secure an injunction against an earlier version of the NeoGenomics product. Nevertheless, the invalidation of these patent claims represents a significant headwind in Natera's efforts to protect its intellectual property.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Natera? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Natera’s shares are quite volatile and have had 16 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 about 23 hours ago when the stock gained 3% on the news that the company announced its Signatera molecular residual disease test was selected for a Phase III clinical trial for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. 

The trial, known as ARCHER, is sponsored by NRG Oncology and will evaluate whether shorter radiation therapy courses can achieve outcomes comparable to the current standard of care. The large-scale study is expected to enroll patients from over 100 sites across the United States and Canada. Natera's Signatera test, which is designed to detect residual cancer and recurrence, will serve as a pre-specified secondary endpoint in the trial. This inclusion follows other positive developments, including recent results from a separate Phase III trial that demonstrated Signatera's ability to predict immunotherapy benefits in bladder cancer patients after surgery, reinforcing the test's clinical utility.

Natera is up 4.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $167.57 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $177 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Natera’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,630.

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.
