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 Intel (INTC) Shares Are Trading Lower Today

INTC Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of computer processor maker Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) fell 3.1% in the afternoon session after an analyst note from Deutsche Bank tempered investor enthusiasm, leading to some profit-taking. 

The bank reiterated a "hold" rating on the stock. While it raised its price target to $30 from a previous $23, the new target remained below the level where the shares were trading. The cautious view gave investors a reason to sell and lock in gains, especially after the stock had a strong rally through September. The move also came as the broader market showed weakness amid concerns over a potential government shutdown.

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 Intel? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Intel’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 35 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 4 days ago when the stock gained 6% as the stock continued a multi-day rally amid reports that the U.S. administration was considering new measures to boost domestic chip production, alongside news of the company seeking strategic investments. 

The potential government policy would require chipmakers to expand their U.S. production, possibly facing tariffs if they imported more chips than they made domestically. Such a move would benefit companies like Intel with a significant manufacturing presence in the U.S. Adding to the positive sentiment, the company reportedly approached both Apple and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) about potential investments or partnerships. 

These discussions followed recent multibillion-dollar investments from Nvidia and a 10% stake taken by the U.S. government, fueling optimism about the chipmaker's turnaround efforts. The session's gains extended a recent surge for the stock, which had risen more than 20% over several trading days on the news of potential outside investments.

Intel is up 64.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $33.28 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $35.50 from September 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Intel’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $642.82.

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.
