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.

Joby Aviation Soars With Toyota Investment and Analyst Support

Joby Aviation’s (NYSE: JOBY) technology has been again validated. The latest news is a follow-on investment from Toyota Motor (NYSE: TM), one of the company's earliest investors and a long-time proponent of personal air capability. The new deal will more than double Toyota’s investment in Joby, bringing the total to nearly $900 million, with funds distributed over the next two years. Toyota is a critical partner for Joby. Not only does it provide funding, but also powertrain and actuation components. Its engineers are working alongside Joby’s to make commercialized personal flight a reality.

The new funding aims to aid Joby in its certification process and production ramp, which are progressing nicely. Joby is roughly a third of the way through the fourth of five stages of U.S. certification, has delivered its first vehicles to the U.S. Air Force, and is making inroads into other markets, including the UAE. Terms of the new deal include a manufacturing alliance to bolster the already blossoming production capability. While there are still hurdles to cross, the outlook is bright and points to the commencement of commercial operations in 2025. Regarding the UAE, Joby has begun the certification process for commercial air taxi services.

And Toyota is not Joby’s only major investor. The company also has support from Delta Airlines (NYSE: DAL), which has a vision for city-to-airport hub transportation services to complement its current operations. The initial investment is worth $60 million and may be raised to as much as $200 million, not including ancillary investments from firms such as Virgin Atlantic. Virgin Atlantic, 49% owned by Delta, is reportedly working on a deal to bring premium air taxi services to applicable markets. 

Analysts Sentiment Favors Joby Shareholders

Analyst coverage of Joby Aviation remains light in number but is noteworthy because of sentiment and the price targets. The latest updates are reaffirmed ratings from H.C. Wainright and Cantor Fitzgerald, which peg the stock at Buy/Overweight with a price target more than 50% above the recent action, which includes the recent 25% share price pop. 

The notes suggest that Joby is progressing with milestones and deliveries, is on track to produce one vehicle monthly by the end of the year, and has several opportunities for commercialization likely to bear fruit within the next 12 months. Those include commercial operations in the U.S., increased demand from the U.S. government, and air taxi services in the Middle East. Among the opportunities for investors is the company’s vertically integrated production capability, which set it up to produce its components and maximize the software to operate them.  

Insider Sales of Joby Stock Are No Problem for Shareholders

The insiders have been selling Joby on a quarter-to-quarter basis for the last two years but present no problem for the market. Insider sales align with activity resulting from share-based compensation and amount to less than 0.2% of the market cap with the stock at $6. Insiders and major shareholders still own more than 33% of the stock, and sales are offset by institutional activity. The institutions have been loading up on Joby shares in 2024, raising their holdings to roughly 45% of the shares with inflows more than doubling outflows over the past 12 months. 

Short-Covering Adds Lift to Joby Aviation Stock Price Action 

Joby’s stock price rocketed higher following the Toyota news, but more was driving the stock than the news. The market for Joby was more than 15% short as of the mid-September report, providing ample fuel for the squeeze. With commercial operations still several quarters away, it is likely that short interest will remain high and may cap gains until additional news is released. The critical target for resistance is near the $6.50 level, which may be reached soon. Assuming the market cannot cross that line and hold it, JOBY share price will likely remain range-bound near 2024’s lows. However, a move above $7.50 would alter the technical outlook and raise the chances for a sustained rally for Q4 2024 into 2025.
