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 C3.ai (AI) Stock Is Trading Lower Today

AI Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of artificial intelligence (AI) software company C3.ai (NYSE: AI) fell 22.6% in the afternoon session after a combination of disappointing preliminary financial results and a major leadership change. The company announced preliminary revenue for its fiscal first quarter that fell well short of analyst expectations and its own previous guidance (roughly 33% below the midpoint of its prior outlook), with CEO Thomas Siebel calling the results "completely unacceptable." Further adding to the uncertainty, Siebel is stepping down from his role due to health reasons, and the company has begun a search for a successor. This dual blow of weak performance and an unexpected leadership transition has led to multiple analyst downgrades and price target cuts, fueling a strong negative sentiment among investors. The stock's decline is a continuation of a broader struggle for the company, which has faced challenges in its growth and profitability despite the overall excitement surrounding the AI sector.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy C3.ai? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

C3.ai’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 38 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for C3.ai and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 18 days ago when the stock dropped 10% on the news that the company announced it had started a search for a successor to its founder and CEO, Thomas M. Siebel. The enterprise AI software company stated that the decision followed founder and CEO Thomas M. Siebel's diagnosis with an autoimmune disease in early 2025, which led to what was described as a 'significant visual impairment.' This news introduced uncertainty regarding the company's future leadership, which weighed on investor sentiment. Siebel planned to remain in his role until a successor was appointed, after which he was set to transition to the position of Executive Chairman, focusing on strategy and customer relationships.

C3.ai is down 50.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $17.13 per share, it is trading 60.1% below its 52-week high of $42.94 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of C3.ai’s shares at the IPO in December 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $185.16.
