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 AMC Networks (AMCX) Stock Is Up Today

AMCX Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of television broadcasting and production company AMC Networks (NASDAQ: AMCX) jumped 4.8% in the afternoon session after the company announced it has extended and expanded its content licensing agreement with Netflix. 

The new deal will bring more of AMC's popular franchises, including new seasons of “Interview with the Vampire” and “The Walking Dead” spinoffs, to Netflix's platform, and will also expand distribution internationally. This partnership has proven to be a successful strategy for AMC, as its content generated 210 million global views on Netflix in the latter half of 2024 and the first half of 2025. More importantly, the increased exposure on Netflix has directly boosted subscriber growth for AMC's own streaming service, AMC+. The company reported a nearly 600% increase in first-stream activity for “Dark Winds” and a 700% increase for “The Walking Dead: Dead City” on AMC+ after their earlier seasons debuted on Netflix, demonstrating the deal's effectiveness in converting viewers into paying subscribers.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $8.35, up 4.6% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

AMC Networks’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 32 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 4.2% on the news that the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report came in largely as expected, reinforcing investor hopes for an upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate cut. 

Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed headline inflation for August at a 2.9% annual rate, with core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, holding steady at 3.1%. While inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's target, Wall Street interpreted the figures as not being high enough to prevent a widely anticipated rate reduction at the central bank's meeting next week. Analysts note that the Fed's focus has shifted toward the risks of a cooling labor market. With this report being the last key data point before the meeting, the market's conviction for a rate cut strengthened, fueling a broad rally that pushed major U.S. stock indexes to record highs.

AMC Networks is down 16.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $8.35 per share, it is trading 19.8% below its 52-week high of $10.41 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of AMC Networks’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $370.89.

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.
