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.

Lucid (LCID) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why

LCID Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of luxury electric car manufacturer Lucid (NASDAQ: LCID) jumped 39% in the afternoon session after the company announced a major partnership with Uber (NYSE: UBER) and autonomous vehicle company Nuro to launch a global, premium robotaxi program. 

The collaboration will integrate Lucid's electric vehicles with Nuro's Level 4 autonomous driving system, making them available exclusively on Uber's ride-hailing platform. The ambitious plan aims to deploy 20,000 or more of these autonomous Lucid vehicles over the next six years, with the first launch expected in a major U.S. city next year. This strategic alliance is a significant vote of confidence in Lucid's vehicle technology. As part of the deal, Uber plans to make multi-hundred-million dollar investments in both Lucid and Nuro. For Lucid, this partnership opens up a substantial new revenue stream and a direct path into the burgeoning autonomous ride-sharing market, leveraging Uber's massive global network. The deal combines Lucid's vehicle design, Nuro's self-driving tech, and Uber's fleet management to create a purpose-built robotaxi experience.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Lucid’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 55 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Lucid and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock gained 3.3% on the news that the company announced a major update to its DreamDrive Pro suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). 

The electric vehicle maker introduced "Hands-Free Drive Assist" and "Hands-Free Lane Change Assist" to its lineup. These new features will be rolled out via an over-the-air (OTA) software update, scheduled for July 30 for Lucid Air owners and later this year for the new Gravity SUV. 

The update is a significant step in the company's technology roadmap, as Lucid continues to invest heavily in its in-house software and ADAS capabilities to compete in the crowded EV market. The DreamDrive Pro system utilizes a comprehensive suite of 32 sensors, including LiDAR, radar, and cameras, to enable these new hands-free functions on compatible highways.

Lucid is up 4.9% since the beginning of the year, but at $3.18 per share, it is still trading 25.4% below its 52-week high of $4.26 from August 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Lucid’s shares at the IPO in September 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $321.53.

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.
