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.

Why IonQ (IONQ) Shares Are Plunging Today

IONQ Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of quantum computing company IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) fell 5.9% in the morning session after the company announced a $2 billion equity offering. 

The deal included 16.5 million shares of common stock, approximately 5 million pre-funded warrants, and over 43 million seven-year warrants. Companies often use these types of offerings to raise cash to help fund growth and commercialization efforts. However, investors reacted cautiously to the potential for share dilution from such a large equity sale. The added shares increased the total number of shares available, which can put pressure on a stock's value in the short term. This risk is common for companies in capital-intensive fields like quantum computing that rely on consistent funding to develop their technology.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy IonQ? Access our full analysis report here.

What Is The Market Telling Us

IonQ’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 107 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 about 24 hours ago when the stock gained 11.9% on the news that the company announced a significant advancement in quantum chemistry simulations that could accelerate the development of technologies aimed at decarbonization. 

In collaboration with a major automotive manufacturer, IonQ demonstrated the ability to accurately compute forces at an atomic level using a specialized quantum algorithm. The results proved more accurate than those from classical computing methods. This breakthrough enabled the calculation of these forces at critical moments when molecular systems undergo significant changes. These calculations can be integrated into existing workflows to better trace chemical reaction pathways, which could help in designing more efficient carbon capture materials. The development broadened IonQ’s quantum chemistry portfolio, with potential uses across the pharmaceutical, battery, and chemical industries.

IonQ is up 79.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $77.41 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $82.09 from October 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of IonQ’s shares at the IPO in January 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $7,167.

Today’s young investors won’t have read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.
