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 Amkor (AMKR) Stock Is Trading Up Today

AMKR Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of semiconductor packaging and testing company Amkor Technology (NASDAQ: AMKR) jumped 4.6% in the morning session after the company was highlighted as a key partner in Apple's U.S. manufacturing strategy. 

The stock's rise was partly sparked by a video clip of Apple CEO Tim Cook on CNBC, where he reiterated Amkor's significance as a packaging partner. This public endorsement solidifies the semiconductor firm's crucial role in Apple's initiative to move parts of its supply chain to the United States, a process often called "reshoring." The announcement was well-received by investors, as the stock surged, signaling strong confidence in the collaboration.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $26.61, up 3.6% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Amkor’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 25 days ago when the stock gained 4.7% on the news that its stock was lifted by a broad market rally that overshadowed negative reports concerning a key customer. 

The positive move came despite reports that Nvidia, a major client, instructed component suppliers including Amkor to halt production of its H20 AI chip. This chip was specifically designed for the Chinese market, but Beijing has reportedly raised security concerns and urged local companies to avoid using it. The production halt has led to semi-finished semiconductors 'piling up' at Amkor's packaging facilities, creating a potential inventory issue. However, the negative impact of this news was seemingly offset by strong positive sentiment across the wider market, as major indices surged following indications from the Federal Reserve that interest rate cuts could be on the horizon.

Amkor is up 2.3% since the beginning of the year, but at $26.61 per share, it is still trading 16.6% below its 52-week high of $31.91 from September 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Amkor’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,316.
