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.

Apple (AAPL) Stock Is Up, What You Need To Know

AAPL Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of iPhone and iPad maker Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) jumped 3.3% in the afternoon session after the successful launch of its new iPhone 17 lineup prompted a significant price target increase from analysts at JPMorgan. 

The latest generation of iPhones hit stores worldwide, reportedly drawing long lines and stronger-than-expected demand, particularly for the high-end Pro models. This strong consumer appetite caught Wall Street's attention. In response, JPMorgan boosted its price target on Apple to $280 from $255, keeping its "Overweight" rating on the stock. The investment bank pointed to the robust early sales as a key reason for its optimism. Analysts at the firm now projected iPhone sales to reach 236 million units in fiscal year 2026, which they believed would fuel solid revenue growth for the tech giant.

The shares closed the day at $245.28, up 3.1% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Apple’s shares are not very volatile and have only had 5 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 9 days ago when the stock dropped 3.3% as its highly anticipated iPhone 17 launch event on September 9 left some investors and analysts underwhelmed. 

The stock's decline, which began after the event and continued into the next day, was attributed to several factors. Investors were likely unenthusiastic about the new devices, viewing them as offering only modest enhancements and incremental upgrades rather than revolutionary breakthroughs. This sentiment was compounded by a "sell-the-news" reaction, as many of the new features had been leaked beforehand, removing any element of surprise.

Apple is up 0.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $245.38 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $259.02 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Apple’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,229.
