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 Apple (AAPL) Stock Is Trading Up Today

AAPL Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of iPhone and iPad maker Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) jumped 2.6% in the morning session after a court ruling ordered competitor Google to share some of its search data. 

The ruling requires Google to provide rivals with access to certain search index and interaction data, a move that could significantly help Apple develop and enhance its own competitive AI chatbots and search tools. This legal development is seen as a major benefit for Apple's ambitions in the artificial intelligence space. 

Adding to the positive sentiment, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that Apple has substantially increased its shipment forecast for the upcoming iPhone Fold, signaling strong confidence in the new foldable smartphone. Furthermore, reports indicate Apple is accelerating the use of automation and robotics throughout its supply chain to reduce labor dependency and ensure consistent product quality.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $237.20, up 3.3% 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 28 days ago when the stock gained 5.7% as the company planned a new $100 billion commitment to American manufacturing. 

A White House official revealed the plan, which accelerated Apple's total domestic investment to $600 billion over the next four years. The company's CEO previously stated this investment aimed to drive innovation and create jobs in advanced manufacturing and artificial intelligence. 

This news built on recent positive momentum. An analyst at Goldman Sachs reiterated a Buy rating on the stock, citing strong App Store performance data. This positive sentiment also followed Apple's strong third-quarter results where the company topped analyst expectations for revenue and profit.

Apple is down 2.7% since the beginning of the year, but at $237.20 per share, it is still 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 $1,962.
