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.

Polestar Automotive Leaps Ahead in the EV Production Race

Polestar stock price forecast Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (NASDAQ: PSNY) is an electric vehicle (EV) maker headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden. Shares are finally breaking out of a seven-month-long weekly descending triangle pattern driven by its record quarterly vehicle deliveries recorded for Q2 2023.

In comparison, Polestar delivery estimates for 2023 bests competitors  Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN) at 50,000, Fisker Inc. (NYSE: FSR) at 34,000 and Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) at 10,000 deliveries.

It’s miles behind the EV juggernaut Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), which expects 1.82 million EV deliveries in 2023. Polestar originally expected 80,000 vehicle deliveries but lowered that number after software issues delayed its launch of the Polestar 3 electric SUV.

The Family Tree

If you're wondering how Polestar has been able to deploy such manufacturing capacity so quickly since launching in 2017, it's because Polestar is a subsidiary of Volvo. Volvo is 80% owned by Chinese automotive giant Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. Ltd, Geely Automotive out of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, in China.

Geely operates many brands and subsidiaries worldwide, including Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Zeekr, Smart, London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC), Geely Galaxy, Proton, Livan/Maple, Geometry, Lynk & Co. and Radar Auto. Polestar's EVs are manufactured at the Volvo Cars Factory in Chengdu, China.

While Polestar shares many of Volvo's suppliers, it has its independent design team. The company is building a new factory with Volvo in South Carolina. It's scheduled to start production in 2024 with the capacity to manufacture up to 300,000 EVs annually. Volvo will also be producing its EX90 EV there.

Simple Model Simple Design  

Unlike most car manufacturers coming up with clever names for their vehicle models, Polestar makes it simple and easy to remember their models, which are called Polestar 1, Polestar 2 and the (delayed) Polestar 3.

The simple names align with the design of its cars, embracing Scandinavian minimalism expressed through clean lines, high-quality materials and elegant interiors.

Its Polestar 2 has a starting MSRP price of $55,850 with a dual motor, all-wheel drive line for a 260-mile range powered by 300kW/408 horsepower. It can be upgraded to 350 kW/476 horsepower, going 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds.

 

Edging Closer to Profitability

On May 11, 2023, Polestar released its first-quarter 2023 results. The Company reported a GAAP earnings-per-share (EPS) loss of 1 cent, beating analyst expectations by 5 cents. Revenues rose 20.7% YoY to $546.02 million, missing estimates by $63.68 million.

Vehicle deliveries grew 26% YoY to 12,076 in the quarter, and grew its five-year total production to over 100,000 units across 27 markets. The company is intensifying its focus on cost management, including a global hiring freeze and a 10% reduction in headcount.

Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath commented, "We are taking necessary steps to strengthen Polestar soon. While production of Polestar 3 will now start in the first quarter of 2024, the successful launch of Polestar 4 last month means that we will add two strong offers in the attractive electric SUV market in 2024. I am confident we will deliver on our growth ambitions and path towards profitability."

Record Deliveries in Q2 2023

On July 6, 2023, Polestar revealed its best quarterly deliveries in Q2 2023. Deliveries rose 36% to 15,800 EVs. CEO Ingenlath expects the momentum to continue for the rest of the year for a seasonably stronger second half of 2023. More than 20 permanent Polestar Spaces showrooms are expected to open soon.

Citigroup resumed coverage with a Neutral rating and a $5 price target.

Weekly Descending Triangle Breakout

The weekly candlestick chart on PSNY depicts a breakout out of the bearish descending triangle pattern. The descending triangle commenced in November 2022 after peaking at $8.25 and falling to $3.20 in March 2023. Each rally attempt continuously faded at a lower high to form a descending trendline.

Meanwhile, PSNY continued to hold support at $3.20 to form a flat-bottom horizontal trendline. As PSNY moved closer to the apex, it finally triggered a breakout in June 2023 through the $3.70 resistance to proceed to extend the breakout through the weekly market structure low (MSL) trigger at $3.95 as shares rallied up toward $4.95 before peaking in July 2023.

The weekly relative strength index (RSI) rose to the 50-band before starting to stall and possibly fall. Pullback support levels are $3.95 weekly MSL trigger, $2.53, $3.20 flat-bottom trendline and $2.86.
