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.

5 Reasons Why Amprius is About to Take Flight

Amprius (NYSE: AMPX) is one of many IPOs to hit the market and fall flat. Outsized expectations and overeager investors are never a good combination, but that is yesterday's story. Today's story is that Amprius stock is at the bottom. The market has bottomed and shows signs of life that could increase over the next few quarters. Based on the information, this stock could easily double in price, which may be a cautious estimate. Here's why.

Amprius Technologies is in a High Demand Market 

Amprius Technologies is not the only manufacturer of silicon anode batteries, but it is one that is gaining traction. Silicon anode is important because it can hold 10X the lithium of other materials commonly used today. The advantages of this technology are higher energy density and a higher discharge rate, making it perfect for industrial uses. The most demanding industry is aviation, where Amprius Technologies is focused. 

Air carriers are just as focused on reducing carbon dependency as anyone else. Not only is it essential to reduce emissions, but the cost of carbon-based fuel is a crippling burden when prices rise. Amprius Technologies' customers already include Airbus (OTCMKTS: EADSF) and AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV), which manufactures drones for the government. As it is, Amprius Technologies' production capacity is maxed out for the next 12 to 18 months, but there are plans to expand. 

Amprius Technologies Commissions Amprius Lab 

Amprius is holding an open house event to commission the expansion of its flagship facility, Amprius Lab. The event is slated for December 2023 and will mark a historic momentum for the business. The new plant will increase the capacity by 10X, allowing the company to serve its existing clients better and execute on the backlog of clients waiting to be approved. 

Clients that may wish to use Amprius batteries include eVTOL manufacturers like JOBY Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) and Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR). eVTOL are electrically-powered vertical-take-off-and-landing craft that are ideally suited for air-taxi services. The first test models are in production and expected to be approved for commercial use sometime in 2024. 

Amprius Technologies Produces Results 

The Q2 results aren't mind-boggling but show a substantial improvement compared to last year. The revenue is up 133% due to ramping production in the first phase of Amprius Lab. That phase can produce batteries at the kWh hour pace, which will ramp to MWh once the expansion is complete. Other good news is that cash burn is under control; the company posted a loss but built its cash reserves compared to last year, and it carries no debt. Looking to next year, the analysts expect revenue to more than triple.

The Analysts See Amprius Electrifying the Market 

Amprius only has four analysts rating it and picked up by Marketbeat's tracking tools, but they are deeply committed to the name. They rate it a Buy and see it moving more than 220% higher at the mid-point of their range. What is more impressive is that the low target of $13 is still nearly 200% above the current action, suggesting a significant updraft in the action is possible. The institutions own only a small 2% of the stock, but they are buying it, and their activity has begun to pick up. Institutional buying ramped from Q1 to Q3 2023 and may continue to ramp, given the outlook for the silicon anode market. 

The Technical Outlook: Amprius Technologies Oversold and Ready to Rebound 

Amprius Technologies' share price shows signs of a bottom coincident with oversold indications in the MACD and stochastic. This does not guarantee a rebound but sets the market up to move higher, given a catalyst. At the very least, a near-term bottom is at hand; how high it gets and what happens next depends on the news. The next earnings report is due in early November and should produce a solid result. As it is, the analysts expect revenue to decline sequentially, which does not align with the outlook.
