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.

Workhorse Group: Consider Getting Back on the Horse

Workhorse Group stock price and website

One lesson of investing is if you get washed out of a position, it’s time to rethink the position, not abandon it entirely, and that is the case with Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS). The initial thesis didn’t pan out; the company recalled its first fleet of electric vehicles and threw them away, but it is back on its feet.

After more than a year of struggle and efforts to get back on track, the company delivers vans and ramped up production. The first quarter results were a bit tepid due to unsurprising component delays but production targets were maintained. Revenue is back on the books. This means for investors that, after three years of waiting, this EV startup is producing cars, which is the catalyst for Workhorse stock prices the market has wanted

Workhorse Group Delivers 10 Vehicles 

Workhorse Group did not have a robust quarter delivering 10 vehicles, but it is a start and should lead to better results in the current quarter. The deliveries brought in only $1.7 million in revenue. The company expects to ramp deliveries as soon as the current quarter and bring in at least $75 million in revenue for the year. This is below the $90 million consensus figure, but the range provided ample room for outperformance, and the analysts aren’t exactly up to date with their estimates.  

The best news in the report is the production and cash burn update. The company produced a loss for the quarter due to the shortfall in deliveries, but the $25 million is far less than analysts expected. The company was able to control spending and appears to be on track for positive cash flow, if not profitability. The company has only $79 million in cash on the books, which may not be enough to see it past that milestone. At the current pace of use, it will be gone before next spring, assuming no unseen expenses occur as production ramps for other models. 

The production update is favorable and includes ramping production for the W4 chassis-cab combination and the onset of production for the W-750 class four delivery van. The W4 CC is in regular production, while the pilot models for the W-750 are expected to roll off the line at any time. The W56 is expected to go into production in the third quarter. 

Workhorse Group Diversification in Play

Workhorse Group is a diversification play in EV that includes fleet management and drones. Fleet management includes operating and managing EV fleets, while drones are intended to enhance delivery capabilities. The drones deliver packages from a delivery vehicle positioned centrally within a neighborhood or urban area. The drones increase efficiency because the operator can make multiple deliveries without leaving the vehicle. The drones are also being shown to the military and government agencies for applications in those venues. 

The chart isn’t promising. The stock is in a clear downtrend and has not shown true support. The post-release action has the market at the lowest levels since the IPO, but this may be as low as it gets. The action is without strength, and the indicators show extreme oversold conditions. At best, a relief rally might be expected now; the opportunity is that price action will rebound smartly later in the year when deliveries and cash flow begin to improve. Stocks like Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN),  Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) and Fisker Inc. (NYSE: FSR) are in similar positions regarding production, and their stocks have begun to bottom
