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 Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Is Trading Up Today

NVDA Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of leading designer of graphics chips Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) jumped 3.2% in the morning session after the company announced a landmark $5 billion investment and partnership with rival chipmaker Intel. 

As part of the pact, Nvidia revealed it would purchase Intel's stock at $23.28 a share. The two semiconductor giants also planned to jointly develop custom products and next-generation chip technologies for personal computers and AI-focused data centers. This strategic collaboration marked a significant shift in alliances within the chip industry. The news sent Intel's shares soaring, while shares of competitor AMD, which vies with both companies, slipped on the announcement. The deal was seen as a major strategic move, reinforcing Nvidia's strong position in the AI and data center markets.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $175.92, up 3.4% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Nvidia’s shares are quite volatile and have had 18 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 21 hours ago when the stock dropped 2.3% as reports surfaced that China's internet regulator banned the country's largest tech companies from purchasing the American firm's artificial intelligence (AI) chips. 

The directive from Beijing's Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) specifically told major firms, including Alibaba and Bytedance, to stop using Nvidia's products. This ban reportedly included a chip model that Nvidia had specifically designed to comply with existing U.S. export rules for the Chinese market. 

This development heightened investor concerns about Nvidia's access to one of its key markets, adding to the regulatory pressures the company already faced in the region. The news sent ripples through the market, weighing on the broader technology sector and contributing to a drag on the tech-heavy Nasdaq index.

Nvidia is up 27.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $175.92 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $183.16 from August 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Nvidia’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $14,432.

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. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
