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.

Nikola's Stock Could Double in Price Within Weeks

Nikola (NASDAQ: NKLA) has had a rough summer, but the bottom for its share price is in, and the share prices are about to rocket higher. The takeaway from the summer news is that the company weathered a turbulent time well, and it remains on track with its turnaround despite halting production on the Tre BEV. The turnaround is focused on ramping production of the FCEV class 8 trucks and the path to profitability. Profitability is expected within the next 4 years and could come sooner, given the anticipated ramp in production. 

Nikola is making huge advancements with its hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which is what will drive this market higher. Among the many positives that emerged over the summer is the start of production of the hydrogen fuel cell Tre FCEVs. The FCEVs are battery-powered engines charged by a hydrogen fuel cell, which provides extended range and shorter refueling times. Along with the longer range, they have a different battery pack than the Tre BEV, so they are not affected by the same problem that caused those trucks to be recalled. 

Sales of FCEVs Drive NKLA Shares 

The market for NKLA stock began moving higher early in June when the FCEV production began, and it supercharged when the 1st sale of an FCEV was announced. That sale is to BayoTech, a leader in clean hydrogen production. The deal is for 50 FCEVs to be used for transporting bulk hydrogen. In exchange, Nikola will buy low-carbon hydrogen from BayoTech for its hydrogen refueling network starting in 2024, another catalyst for the market. 

An order from J.B. Hunt (NYSE: JBHT) gave more credibility to the order from BayoTech. That creates an opportunity for NKLA shareholders. J.B. Hunt ordered 10 BEVs and 3 FCEVs to be positioned at key locations within its network. J.B. Hunt is a top-5 trucking outfit in the US led by names like United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) and FedEx (NYSE: FDX). It purchased the trucks to aid its transition to a less carbon-dependent future, which could lead to future orders and for others to follow suit. As of the last report, Nikola has orders for more than 200 of its FCEVs, and investors should expect that number to grow. 

The market for NKLA shares is up more than 30% after two pieces of news. First, Nikola is expanding its dealer network. The new partner is ITD Industries, which is a major dealer/distributor in Canada. The company will provide sales and service for Nikola vehicles and become part of Nikola's hydrogen refueling network, Hyla. The deal is good for Nikola because Canada's trucking industry is already friendly to low-carbon alternatives. Nikola is also hiring a new executive, Mary Chan, formerly of GM, as the company's new COO. 

The Analysts Have Begun to Warm to Nikola 

The analysts' activity in Nikola is light this year but telling for two reasons. First, the seven with current ratings on Marketbeat's tracking page are holding and see the market moving higher. Second, the most recent revision is a boosted price target, with the stock moving up 100% from its current level. A single boosted target is not enough to sustain a trend, but it is a sign that sentiment is shifting in favor of Nikola's hydrogen fuel cell trucks. 

NKLA stock has high short interest, another market driving force. The short interest was above 20% at the end of August but may have declined since. The stock shed more than 30% since the 1st of the month hit a new low and is now up nearly 100% on a strong rebound. Assuming the market follows through on the signal, the market for this stock could easily move up to $1.80 before hitting significant resistance. If the market can move above that level, a sustained rally could form and take the stock price back to the August highs.
