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 General Motors (GM) Shares Are Trading Lower Today

GM Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of automotive manufacturer General Motors (NYSE: GM) fell 2.9% in the afternoon session after the company announced a recall for over 23,000 of its 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV models and separately placed 900 workers on indefinite layoff. 

The recall was issued because the electric vehicle's pedestrian alert sound system might not have been loud enough to warn people nearby when the car was moving at low speeds. This failure meant the vehicles did not meet federal safety standards. In a separate development, GM laid off 900 workers at its Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas. The company stated it needed to retool the plant for the production of the gas-powered Equinox model. The combination of a safety-related recall and production-related layoffs appeared to weigh on investor sentiment.

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 General Motors? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

General Motors’s shares are somewhat volatile and have had 11 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 biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 8 months ago when the stock dropped 11.1% on the news that the company reported fourth-quarter earnings and provided guidance that assumes a stable policy environment in the US, thus failing to help investors shrug off concerns relating to the impact of regulatory measures. 

A key concern is the Trump administration's potential plans to reduce incentives like tax credits, which have helped accelerate the demand for EVs. If these plans are implemented, both GM and other EV players may need to rethink their growth forecasts. A Berstein analyst added following the earnings release "In our view, the guidance for 2025 leaves no room for errors, and also does not include impact from regulatory changes in the U.S., especially on tariffs and BEV support." On a more positive note, General Motors beat analysts' revenue expectations this quarter, and its full-year EPS guidance came in higher than Wall Street's estimates. Overall, this was a mixed quarter, which failed to clear up uncertainties.

General Motors is up 15.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $59.54 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $61.34 from September 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of General Motors’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,955.

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.
