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 Are Blink Charging (BLNK) Shares Soaring Today

BLNK Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of EV charging infrastructure provider Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) jumped 8.8% in the afternoon session after the company announced a partnership with Universal Media to launch a new charging station concept that combines electric vehicle charging with digital advertising. The new "EV Totem" concept featured dual 55-inch high-definition digital displays positioned above the charging units for high visibility. The first installations became operational at a high-traffic retail and lifestyle center in Salt Lake City, Utah. This collaboration aimed to create new revenue streams for businesses and property partners by offering real-time, location-based ad targeting. For Blink, a leading owner and operator of EV charging equipment, the partnership represented a strategic move to integrate dynamic media experiences with its charging infrastructure, with plans to expand the concept to other high-traffic locations.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $1.19, up 3% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Blink Charging’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 74 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 2 days ago when the stock gained 10% on the news that the company announced an expanded collaboration with Belgian office property company Group Bernaerts to increase its electric vehicle charging footprint in the country. 

Under the agreement, which builds on a partnership started in 2022, Group Bernaerts plans to double its current 88 Blink charging stations to at least 176 by the end of 2025. The chargers are located across various properties in the Belgian cities of Antwerp and Mechelen. This expansion in the European market signals Blink's continued growth and addresses the rising demand for EV charging solutions in multi-tenant properties. The news provided a significant boost to the stock, which has faced profitability challenges despite maintaining a healthy balance sheet with more cash than debt.

Blink Charging is down 20.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.19 per share, it is trading 65.1% below its 52-week high of $3.41 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Blink Charging’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $167.84.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
