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.

BLNK Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of EV charging infrastructure provider Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) jumped 8.5% in the afternoon session after the company announced it has been awarded a contract by the City of Richmond to develop a network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. 

This collaboration is a significant step in Richmond's plan to expand its EV infrastructure for residents, visitors, and fleet operators. According to the announcement, Blink is one of five vendors selected to provide public charging solutions for the city. The contract covers a range of services, including site assessment, installation, maintenance, repair services, and product training. This new agreement aims to support the city's climate goals by ensuring long-term sustainability and innovation in its transportation network.

The shares closed the day at $1.82, up 10.1% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Blink Charging’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 77 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock dropped 6.6% on the news that a weaker-than-expected U.S. consumer confidence report for September sparked concerns about the economic outlook. The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 94.2, its lowest reading since April. This decline was driven by a more pessimistic view of both current and future conditions. The Present Situation Index, which assesses current business and labor market conditions, fell by 7.0 points. More critically, the Expectations Index, a gauge of the short-term outlook, also decreased. This index has remained below 80 since February 2025, a level that historically signals a potential recession on the horizon. The weakening confidence reflects consumers' growing concerns about the labor market, which could translate to reduced spending and broader economic slowing.

Blink Charging is up 20.7% since the beginning of the year, but at $1.81 per share, it is still trading 19.6% below its 52-week high of $2.25 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Blink Charging’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $169.63.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
