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.

Mullen Automotive: Momentum Builds, Bears Risk Short-Squeeze

Mullen Automotive: Momentum Builds, Bears Risk Short-Squeeze 

Two days after reporting Mullen Automotive’s (NASDAQ: MULN) short interest was growing despite a string of good news, the company released more good news that has upward pressure building for this market. The news is a deal with Ireland’s Newgate Motor Group for the i-Go. The i-Go is an EU-specific final-mile delivery vehicle that Mullen Automotive acquired the rights to in October, only one month ago. Newgate Motor Group is one of Ireland’s leading automotive dealerships and represents brands like Renault (EPA: RNA), Kia (OTCMKTS: KIMTF), and Mercedez-Benz (OTCMKTS: MBGAF). The company has reached throughout the United Kingdom and into the mainland EU as well. 

The deal gives Newgate Motor Group rights to market, sell, distribute and service the Mullen i-Go in Ireland. The company has agreed to buy 500 per year, with initial delivery set for December 20, 2022, which is this year. What this means for Mullen is an immediate revenue stream and one that comes into play more than a year before it begins production of its own line of vehicles. As a strategy, it’s a brilliant win for Mullen Automotive in all aspects as it brings cash flow and brand recognition while paving an inroad to the EU. On the other hand, Newgate will use the first deliveries for demonstration and sales purposes. 

Mullen Automotive Strikes While The Iron Is Hot 

Mullen Automotive was a quiet player during the EV boom of 2020 and 2021, but it was a strategic quiet time that led to the current string of good news. The deal to sell i-Go’s in Ireland is a natural progression to the company’s acquisition of i-Go rights and fits hand-in-hand with the hiring of CCO John Schwegman. Schwegman comes from GM and is in charge of the commercial line of vehicles, including the i-Go, and plans to manufacture a line of Class 1 through Class 6 commercial vehicles. The i-Go is also slated for launch in Germany at the same time. 

“This is a highly strategic partnership for Mullen, with Newgate being one of Ireland’s most recognizable dealers for new and used vehicles; it brings us an incredible opportunity to enter the commercial EV market in Europe with a very successful retail group,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “We are currently working closely with Newgate on the importation, registration, and licensing requirements for the successful import and distribution of the I-GO into Ireland and the United Kingdom.”

In regard to the short interest, the short interest on the first of November was nearly 18% or up about 4% in the preceding two weeks and more than 10% on a month-over-month basis. This is not the highest short interest on Wall Street by any means, but a sufficiently large amount of activity to have pushed price action down to recently set low levels. Now, with the company’s momentum building, there is a significant risk for the bears of a short-squeeze and, at the very least, the potential for a short-covering rally. 

The Technical Outlook: Mullen Automotive Continues To Bottom 

Mullen Automotive began to bottom in February 2022 when it began to execute its growth strategy. The bottoming continued in October when the price action bounced from a new low, driven by multiple good news stories, and that bottom is being confirmed again today. The new i-Go deal had the stock up as much as 15% in early premarket trading, and gains are holding into the regular session. The upswing is also showing support at a higher level than before, which is good news for the bulls and compounded by the indicators. Both MACD and stochastic are rolling into bullish crossovers convergent with the new support level and point to some additional upside in the near term at least.
