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 Intel (INTC) Stock Is Up Today

INTC Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of computer processor maker Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) jumped 4.3% in the morning session after the company lowered its full-year cost outlook upon completing the sale of a majority stake in its Altera programmable chip business. 

The company finalized the sale of a 51% stake in Altera to private equity firm Silver Lake for approximately $3.3 billion, while retaining the remaining 49% interest. As a direct result of this transaction, Intel reduced its fiscal 2025 non-GAAP operating expense forecast to $16.8 billion, down from its previous guidance of $17.0 billion. This strategic divestiture and subsequent reduction in expected costs were viewed positively by investors, signaling a move to streamline business operations and improve the company's financial outlook.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $25.03, up 4.1% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Intel’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 21 days ago when the stock gained 4.3% on the news that the U.S. government announced it will take a nearly 10% equity stake in the chipmaker through an $8.9 billion investment. 

The move came after Intel and the Trump Administration announced an agreement for the U.S. government to make an $8.9 billion investment in the company's common stock. This investment gives the government a 9.9% equity stake in the chipmaker. The funding is sourced from $5.7 billion in grants under the CHIPS and Science Act and $3.2 billion from the Secure Enclave program, effectively converting previously awarded grants into equity. 

According to the terms, the government will purchase 433.3 million shares at $20.47 each. This strategic investment is intended to support the expansion of American technology and manufacturing leadership while bolstering the domestic semiconductor industry.

Intel is up 23.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $25.03 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $27.39 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Intel’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $500.64.

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.
