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.

Proterra Inc., A Penny Stock To Put On The Watchlist

Proterra Stock price

Proterra Inc. (NASDAQ: PTRA) is emerging as an up-and-comer among a new wave of EV stocks. These stocks include the likes of GreenPower Motors (NASDAQ: GP), Hypercharge Networks (OTCMKTS) and even REV Group(NYSE: REVG), which all produce EV infrastructure, specialty EVs and EV services. These stocks are not without risk. There are high-risk penny stocks with hurdles ahead of them but also the potential to make millionaires of their investors.

The takeaway is that EV is a growing industry taking over the ICE market. These companies are on the leading edge of the shift toward electrification and will benefit from those trends. The question is if they can survive long enough to produce returns for their investors. 

Who Is Proterra Inc.? 

Proterra Inc. is a California-based EV company focused on 3 operating segments. Those are Powered, Transit and Energy. The Powered segment produces batteries and electrification equipment for commercial vehicle OEMs globally. The Transit segment manufactures buses for various commercial and transit fleets. The Energy segment manufactures and deploys turnkey charging solutions and fleet management software for commercial fleets, a high-demand industry.

Proterra Stock price forecast

A recent test run at LAX by Menzies using Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN) vans, Loop Global charging stations, and fleet management software was a resounding success. Details include 66% cost savings and an 83% reduction in CO2 emissions on top of 100% up-time with no maintenance issues. 

Proterra’s Transit segment is also off to a solid start, with a new order from the South Carolina Department of Education expected to drive sales in other jurisdictions. The deal is for 160 Proterra-powered busses built by Thomas Built Busses. The buses will be delivered over the next year, including complete start-up and support.

The system includes charging networks and software to run the fleet; buses will be powered with the Saf-T-Liner C2 Jouley system and come with a range of 135 miles. It should be noted that Proterra’s east coast manufacturing plant is in South Carolina. 

“The South Carolina Department of Education is proud to partner with Thomas Built Buses and Proterra to bring more zero-emission, all-electric school buses to our state. We’re excited to see the positive impact these buses will have on our community,” said Mike Bullman, transportation director for the South Carolina Department of Education. “This partnership puts South Carolina at the forefront of the vehicle electrification movement and brings us one step closer towards building a healthier and more sustainable future for the next generation of students.”

One Risk For Proterra 

While the outlook for Proterra appears bright, it is not without clouds. Among those clouds is an issue with liquidity and terms of debt agreements issued in 2020. The company has had to renegotiate the terms of the debt and appears to have reached a satisfactory arrangement with debt holders, but the risk of default remains. 

The chart could be better. The stock is in a downtrend, and that trend is not over. The risk for investors is that price action will fall to a new low and confirm a Flag Pattern forming on the weekly charts. In that scenario, this stock could shed another $0.50 to $.80 before hitting bottom.
