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.

Rivian (RIVN) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why

RIVN Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN) jumped 3.1% in the afternoon session after the company and Volkswagen Group announced a joint semiconductor procurement strategy to streamline their supply chain and cut costs. 

The new initiative introduces a procurement model spanning more than 50 semiconductor categories, aiming to reduce costs and strengthen supply chain resilience for future vehicles. This news builds on positive commentary from the previous day's Goldman Sachs conference, where CEO RJ Scaringe highlighted ambitious plans for the company. Scaringe pointed to the upcoming, lower-priced R2 vehicle as a pivotal point for growth and expanding market reach. He also reinforced the company's focus on achieving adjusted EBITDA break-even by 2027 and the strategic importance of its broader partnership with Volkswagen.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $14.28, up 2.7% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Rivian’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 32 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 6 days ago when the stock gained 3.6% on the news that the company announced it was cutting less than 1.5% of its workforce as part of a strategic plan to streamline operations ahead of its R2 SUV launch. 

The job cuts are part of the company's efforts to enhance efficiency and lower costs as it prepares for the highly anticipated launch of its more affordable R2 model in 2026. According to a company spokesperson, the changes are part of an “ongoing effort to improve operational efficiency for R2.” The positive investor reaction suggests the market views this cost-cutting measure as a prudent step toward improving the company's financial health and ensuring a successful launch of its next-generation vehicle, which is crucial for its long-term growth.

Rivian is up 7.8% since the beginning of the year, but at $14.28 per share, it is still trading 15.6% below its 52-week high of $16.92 from May 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Rivian’s shares at the IPO in November 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $141.78.
