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 IonQ (IONQ) Stock Is Trading Up Today

IONQ Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of quantum computing company IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) jumped 3% in the morning session after the company announced a strategic collaboration with Emergence Quantum, an Australian quantum hardware research and development firm. The partnership aimed to advance quantum innovation by co-developing next-generation electronics and materials for ion trap technology, which is core to IonQ's quantum computers. Specifically, the two companies planned to work on designing specialized integrated circuits for qubit control, reducing hardware complexity, and exploring new materials to improve performance. This collaboration expanded IonQ's presence in the Asia-Pacific region and tapped into Australia's growing quantum talent. Emergence Quantum was founded by former members of Microsoft's quantum team, bringing significant expertise to the partnership. The move built on IonQ's existing relationships in the country, including a collaboration with the Australian National University.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $41.97, up 0.1% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

IonQ’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 109 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 7 days ago when the stock gained 4.7% after a competitor's technical breakthrough lifted sentiment across the quantum computing sector. 

The broader quantum computing industry received a boost after Rigetti Computing announced it had achieved a significant technical milestone. The company reported it reached 99.5% median two-qubit gate fidelity on its new modular 36-qubit system, a key performance metric that represents a major reduction in error rates. 

While the news came from a competitor, such advancements are often viewed by investors as positive for the entire industry, suggesting that the path to commercially viable quantum computers is progressing. This "rising tide lifts all boats" sentiment appeared to benefit IonQ, as positive developments from any major player can increase confidence in the sector's long-term potential and technological feasibility. The news from Rigetti sent its own shares higher and created a ripple effect, with several other quantum computing stocks, including IonQ, trading in positive territory.

IonQ is down 2.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $41.97 per share, it is trading 17.8% below its 52-week high of $51.07 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of IonQ’s shares at the IPO in January 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $3,886.

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.
