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.

Uber (UBER) Stock Trades Down, Here Is Why

UBER Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of ride sharing and on-demand delivery platform Uber (NYSE: UBER) fell 3.2% in the afternoon session after the company, along with rival Lyft, signed off on a deal to allow its California ride-hail drivers to unionize. 

The agreement, announced by Governor Gavin Newsom, legislative leaders, and unions, permits drivers to collectively bargain for better pay and working conditions. For investors, the prospect of unionization raises concerns about potentially higher labor costs, which could impact the company's profitability and its business model, which has historically relied on the flexibility of contract work.

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 Uber? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Uber’s shares are quite volatile and have had 16 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 biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 7 months ago when the stock gained 9.5% on the news that famous investor Bill Ackman revealed a 30.3m stake (shares) in the company, valued at roughly $2.3 billion. 

Ackman, who is the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, added that Uber is trading at a "massive discount" and can be considered "one of the best managed and highest quality businesses in the world." Ackman said he's not new to Uber, and has been an investor since its early days. He highlighted Uber's early struggles with erratic leadership and praised CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's transformation of the company since 2017. Under Khosrowshahi, he acknowledged that Uber has evolved "into a highly profitable and cash-generative growth machine. " 

Given Ackman reputation for identifying quality research in the stock market, the market is likely to read the information positively for the company's prospects in the near term.

Uber is up 47.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $93.20 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $97.48 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Uber’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,772.

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.
