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 FuelCell Energy (FCEL) Stock Is Trading Up Today

FCEL Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of carbonate fuel cell technology developer FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ: FCEL) jumped 27.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported impressive first quarter 2025 (fiscal Q2) results which blew past analysts' sales estimates. 

Most of that strength came from product sales and service deals, especially those tied to replacing modules under a long-term agreement. Its backlog kept growing too, up almost 19%, which suggests customer demand is still healthy. 

Still, the good news on the sales side didn't quite make its way down the income statement. Margins remained in the red, though operating losses narrowed a bit. The pressure on margins ended up pulling down both EBITDA and EPS, which missed analysts' estimates. To get things back on track, the company's cutting costs, trimming its workforce by 22%, and putting more focus on its carbonate tech that powers distributed energy projects. So while sales momentum looks solid, the quarter showed that getting to profitability remained an uphill climb. 

On the leadership front, FuelCell also brought on Mike Hill as its new Chief Commercial Officer, hoping his experience can help push things forward.

The shares closed the day at $6.47, up 24.4% from previous close.

What The Market Is Telling Us

FuelCell Energy’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 91 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for FuelCell Energy and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 5 months ago when the stock gained 17.8% on the news that the Biden administration announced new rules clarifying that some nuclear power plants can secure tax credits for producing clean hydrogen if the credits help keep reactors running. 

This announcement means more funding opportunities for hydrogen producers despite some opposition from environmental groups regarding the use of nuclear to produce hydrogen. The update also provides more certainty for investors and related companies within the clean energy space.

FuelCell Energy is down 36.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $6.58 per share, it is trading 77.6% below its 52-week high of $29.37 from June 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of FuelCell Energy’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $81.08.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
