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 Elanco (ELAN) Stock Is Trading Lower Today

ELAN Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of animal health company Elanco (NYSE: ELAN) fell 4.1% in the afternoon session after competitor Boehringer Ingelheim announced the U.S. launch of a new, advanced vaccine for swine. 

The new vaccine, INGELVAC CIRCOFLEX ® AD, is the first to combine two key antigens in a single dose, potentially creating a more effective product in the animal health market. This development introduces fresh competitive pressure for Elanco, which operates in the same livestock health space, sparking investor concern over potential impacts on its market share. The stock's decline also came amid broader market weakness, as U.S. markets had closed lower the previous day on concerns about tariffs and rising bond yields, adding to the negative sentiment.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Elanco? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Elanco’s shares are somewhat volatile and have had 13 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 7 days ago, when the stock gained 4.4% on the news that the company announced it would be joining the S&P MidCap 400 index. 

The animal health company is set to replace Sarepta Therapeutics in the index, with the change becoming effective before the market opens on Tuesday, September 2. This inclusion is a significant positive catalyst because it typically forces index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the S&P MidCap 400 to purchase shares of Elanco to align their portfolios. The anticipated increase in demand from these institutional investors is expected to boost the stock's liquidity and valuation. Reflecting the positive sentiment, the company's shares also touched a new 52-week high.

Elanco is up 42.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $17.22 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $18.49 from August 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Elanco’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $611.16.
