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 Snowflake (SNOW) Shares Are Getting Obliterated Today

SNOW Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of cloud data platform provider Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) fell 5.1% in the morning session after the company announced its Chief Financial Officer, Mike Scarpelli, is retiring. 

The AI Data Cloud company stated that Brian Robins will take over as the new CFO, effective September 22. The departure of a key executive can create unease among investors, as such transitions often bring uncertainties about a company's future strategy and execution in the short term. The market's reaction suggests concerns over the potential risks associated with the shift in financial oversight and strategic direction during this leadership change. 

The negative mood also appears to be a spillover effect, as Salesforce's disappointing forecast has raised concerns about the growth prospects for the entire software industry. According to reports, investors are becoming wary of companies perceived to be lagging in the immediate implementation and monetization of artificial intelligence (AI). This broader market concern is weighing on related software stocks, as investors seem to be favoring companies that are already delivering tangible AI-driven results rather than promising them for the future.

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

What Is The Market Telling Us

Snowflake’s shares are quite volatile and have had 16 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 6 days ago when the stock dropped 1.9% on the news that the company's stock pulled back in a likely case of profit-taking after surging earlier in the week on the back of strong second-quarter earnings and subsequent analyst upgrades. The data-warehousing company reported its quarterly results on Wednesday, August 27, posting revenue of $1.14 billion and adjusted earnings of $0.35 per share, beating analyst estimates. Following the strong performance, which was driven by accelerating AI adoption, Snowflake raised its full-year product revenue forecast to $4.395 billion. The positive results prompted a wave of optimism on Wall Street. Analysts at Oppenheimer, Jefferies, and Goldman Sachs all reiterated their Buy ratings and raised their price targets for the stock, citing AI tailwinds and robust demand for the company's data platform.

Snowflake is up 39.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $219.37 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $241 from August 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Snowflake’s shares at the IPO in September 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $863.90.

Today’s young investors won’t have read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.
