About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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 Down Today

COIN Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of blockchain infrastructure company Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) fell 15.3% in the morning session after the company reported disappointing second-quarter financial results that fell short of Wall Street's expectations. 

The crypto exchange announced second-quarter revenue of $1.5 billion, which missed analyst forecasts. A significant 39% drop in transaction revenue from the previous quarter drove the miss, a signal that trading activity on the platform slowed. The company also delivered a disappointing outlook for its subscription revenue. 

Adding to the pressure, the broader market faltered after a weak U.S. jobs report and the announcement of new trade tariffs rattled investor confidence. In response to the poor results, analysts at Barclays trimmed their price target, while Monness Crespi & Hardt downgraded the stock's rating.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Coinbase’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 63 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Coinbase 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 3.6% on the news that it announced a strategic partnership with JPMorgan Chase to make cryptocurrency more accessible to the bank's customers. 

The collaboration with JPMorgan Chase was set to introduce several features aimed at making cryptocurrency purchases more accessible. The partnership planned to allow a direct bank-to-wallet connection and let customers transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to their Coinbase accounts, with 100 points equaling $1. Additionally, the agreement included provisions for customers to fund their Coinbase accounts using Chase credit cards, a feature expected to launch in the fall of 2025. This move was significant as it represented a major step in bridging traditional banking with the digital asset space, potentially opening up a large new customer base for Coinbase. The positive market reaction was also supported by recent bullish analyst sentiment, including a price target increase from Citigroup.

Coinbase is up 25.2% since the beginning of the year, but at $322.15 per share, it is still trading 23.3% below its 52-week high of $419.78 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Coinbase’s shares at the IPO in April 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $981.31.
