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.

Is It Time To Get Into the FREY: FREYR Battery

FREYR Battery stock price

FREYR Battery (NYSE: FREY) is another in a long line of green-energy and next-gen technology companies working to make a difference. The difference with this company is that its technology is proven, it has binding orders worth billions, and testing the first products is already underway.

Based on these factors, it is time to get into the fray with FREY stocks, and now is a good time to do it. The Q2 earnings release amplified a sell-off that began over the summer, but a bottom is close at hand.

Risk-tolerant investors interested in producing full-automated, green battery production for industrial uses will want to put this stock on their watch lists if not their portfolios. 

FREYR Has Better Than Expected Quarter 

FREYR had a better-than-expected quarter despite its no-revenue status. The company produced a loss of $0.18 GAAP, which is $0.04 better than expected. The savings are due to managed spending, but investors shouldn’t be too hopeful.

The company is still building out the Norway Gigafactory and has yet to begin construction on Giga America. However, there is good news in that the 1st semi-automated batteries left the production line in late spring. Those have been charged, production of testing models is underway, and a test for Nidec is underway. 

Nidec is a Japanese manufacturer of electric motors for all use cases. The company signed a definitive agreement with FREYR to supply 38GWh of cells from 2025 to 2030. The cells are intended for Nidec’s BESS segment, which generates power for the grid in several Western nations.

Among those is Norway, which is where the cells are intended. Norway is building out several large green power plants, including hydrogen plants. The battery deal is worth more than $3 billion to FREYR because the initial order could be expanded. 

A recent study by Rystaad Energy suggests market conditions are tilted in favor of FREYR. According to them, a profound market shortage of Lithium-phosphate batteries will persist through 2023.

Because LFP batteries are cheaper to make, safe to use, low toxicity, and longer lifespans, they are finding their way into more and more uses, including EVs and energy storage at scale. 

The Analysts Are Mixed, But Institutions Are Buying FREYR

The analysts rate FREYR at Moderate Buy, which has held steady over the past year. The consensus price target is exciting because it is more than 100% above the price action but is trending lower. The Q2 release has not sparked any revisions yet, but they will surely come. Until then, even the low price target of $10 assumes about 33% of the upside is possible, and the institutions are also buying. 

The institutional activity is more bullish than the analysts, with total holdings up to nearly 50% and buying at a pace of 3:1. The institutional buying has slowed over the last few months but remained bullish on balance in the first month of Q3. The way price action is moving, it would not be surprising to see the institutional buying activity spike when the August data comes out. 

The Technical Outlook: A Bottom Is Forming 

The price in FREY fell following the Q2 release, but it looks like a bottom is forming. The market is showing support at the $7.50 level, which is consistent with key levels in the past.

This market will likely continue to test support, but sideways movement will continue at current levels as long as it holds. A rally may form later in the year when and if progress is made on production ramps and the giga factories; if not, this stock will remain range bound and may even hit new lows.
