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 Coinbase (COIN) Stock Is Up Today

COIN Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of blockchain infrastructure company Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) jumped 9.3% in the afternoon session after the company clarified that the SEC's inquiry was related to a discontinued user-metric last reported more than two and a half years ago. 

Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, explained, "This is a hold-over investigation from the prior administration about a metric we stopped reporting two and a half years ago, which was fully disclosed to the public." 

Some Wall Street analysts stayed positive despite the negative news, particularly in light of a cybersecurity breach disclosed the previous day. Oppenheimer analyst Owen Lau reaffirmed a Buy rating, saying the stock's negative reaction to the news was an opportunity for investors to accumulate more shares. Lau added "While we think the expected remediation cost of $180-$400M is high, we believe COIN intends to send a message that customers' funds are safe, and they will take full responsibility."

What The Market Is Telling Us

Coinbase’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 66 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 5% on the news that the company announced it got emails from hackers who claimed they broke into user accounts, accessed customer data, found internal documents, and took notes tied to help desk tools and account management systems. 

Coinbase maintained it would not pay the $20M ransom demanded by the attackers and instead offered a $20M reward for information leading to their arrest and conviction. It also clarified that the breach affected less than 1% of Monthly Transacting Users (reported at 9.7M as of 1Q25). 

In a regulatory filing, Coinbase estimated the total cost of the incident, including efforts to address the breach and reimburse affected customers, could range from $180 million to $400 million. 

The stock's reaction suggested the market was worried about the material short-term financial headwind the incident could create. 

However, the limited scope (affecting less than 1% of Monthly Transacting Users) of the incident and the containment measures could dampen some of these concerns.

Coinbase is up 3.8% since the beginning of the year, but at $267.09 per share, it is still trading 22.3% below its 52-week high of $343.62 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Coinbase’s shares at the IPO in April 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $813.60.
