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.

Insiders sell Amprius Technologies; Analysts see 100% upside

Insider trading sign

Amprius Technologies (NYSE: AMPX) is an emerging lithium-ion battery disruptor. The company’s silicon anode design provides greater density, quicker charge time, and higher discharge rates, making them a perfect fit for virtually any application. The company is ramping up production as quickly as possible, recently inaugurating its Amprius Labs facility upgrade, which improved capacity 10X. 

Even so, it can’t meet customer demand and is on track to ramp production again in 2025. There is a facility in Colorado on track for operations to commence soon, which will allow the company to take on new business. Current customers include the US Army,  which buys batteries for mission-critical man-portable applications and drones, and prominent aerospace manufacturers and defense contractors such as Airbus and Teledyne FLIR (NYSE: TDY).

Among the commercial applications is EV flight. The company’s batteries are perfect for EVTOL applications such as JOBY Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) and Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR)

Insiders' sales are not a problem; dilutive sales might be

Insiders have been selling shares of Amprius Technologies, but it does not pose a significant problem for the stock price. The sales are made primarily by two insiders, including a director, and are small and periodic. Insiders still own a solid 15% of the stock, showing significant skin in the game, but other worries exist. 

Amprius Technologies is issuing shares to raise capital. The company increased its outstanding share count by 3.6% YTD at the end of last quarter and has made additional sales since. Some of the increase is attributable to share-based compensation and warrants exercised in the period but is dilutive nonetheless. Also, losses accumulate and erode shareholder equity, adding downward pressure to the stock price. 

Institutions warm to Amprius: Analysts see value in Amprius

Insider sales are offset to a degree by the institutions. The institutions own a small 8% of the stock, but they’ve been buying on balance the last few quarters, and activity is ramping. Ownership is light but broad, including some funds and private capital. The top three holders are Invesco, Vanguard, and BlackRock, which account for about 3.5% of the total. 

The analysts are more bullish on the stock. The stock picked up several analysts in Q4, cementing its Buy rating. The consensus of eight suggests this stock will advance at least 200%, and the range's low-end suggests the price action could rise swiftly when it advances; it assumes a 165% upside. The latest is from Roth Capital, reiterating a Buy rating in January 2024.

The next visible catalyst will come in mid-March with the Q4 earnings report. Analysts expect revenue growth to accelerate to 265% but may be underestimating business strength. The $2.88 million is a slim $0.08 million in sequential growth that does not factor in purchase orders received in December and the launch of the SiCore platform. SiCore is a new line of silicon anode batteries in various sizes, offering greater power and longer life than traditional batteries. 

The technical outlook: Amprius Technologies is at rock bottom

The price action in Amprius Technologies is lackluster but appears to be at rock bottom. The market is moving sideways within a range, showing solid support near $3.50. The stock price will likely retest that level without a catalyst to alter the direction, but a show of support is expected.

Among the risks is a lack of market interest. The stock trading volume has been low and falling in recent weeks. Without a catalyst to support interest, the market for the stock could fall critical support.  If the market confirms support, the price will likely continue sideways within the range. However, a move below $3.50 could take this market to an even lower price level.
