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 Blink Charging (BLNK) Stock Is Trading Up Today

BLNK Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of EV charging infrastructure provider Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) jumped 4.4% in the morning session after the company announced it has joined the Paua platform, a leading UK aggregator of electric vehicle (EV) charging for fleets and businesses. 

This strategic collaboration adds Blink's 850 public charging locations and approximately 3,500 connectors to Paua's network, expanding it to over 67,000 connectors across the United Kingdom. The partnership aims to simplify the charging process for EV drivers, especially those managing commercial fleets, by creating a more unified and seamless experience. Through the Paua Access platform, drivers can now find real-time data on Blink charger availability, connector types, and pricing without needing new cards or apps. The move is intended to support the UK's transition to electric transportation by making charging more accessible.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $1.18, up 3.1% 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 4.9% on the news that the company announced the completion of a major electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure project in Porterville, California. 

The $1.6 million initiative involved installing 34 charging ports across three city-owned locations. Specifically, Blink added 19 DC Fast Chargers (28 ports) and three Level 2 stations (6 ports), upgrading and replacing all public EV charging ports at key municipal sites like the Porterville Transit Center. The project was primarily funded by the Federal Transit Administration, which covered 80% of the cost, with the remaining 20% coming from Local Transportation Funds. This successful deployment highlights the company's ability to execute significant public-private partnerships and expand its charging network.

Blink Charging is down 21.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.18 per share, it is trading 47.6% below its 52-week high of $2.25 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Blink Charging’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $184.37.

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.
