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.

Fiverr (FVRR) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why

FVRR Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of online freelance marketplace Fiverr (NYSE: FVRR) jumped 8.9% in the morning session after an analyst from BTIG upgraded the stock pointed to the financial benefits of a recent corporate restructuring. 

The investment firm boosted its rating on the freelance marketplace from 'Neutral' to 'Buy' and set a new price target of $31. This move followed Fiverr's recent announcement of a major restructuring that trimmed its workforce by about 30%. The company stated the changes were not due to business weakness but part of a strategic pivot to become an "AI-first" company. 

BTIG noted the plan would create about $30 million in cost savings. The firm projected that these savings could boost future earnings significantly, even though Fiverr planned to reinvest about half of the funds to spur growth. Investors cheered the analyst's vote of confidence in the company's new direction.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Fiverr’s shares are very volatile and have had 20 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 1 day ago when the stock gained 2.3% on the news that the company announced a major restructuring to become an "AI-first" company, a move that included laying off about 30% of its workforce. 

The freelance services marketplace let go of approximately 250 employees as part of what its CEO, Micha Kaufman, called a "painful reset." The goal of this transformation was to create a smaller, flatter organization by using artificial intelligence to automate workflows and speed up decision-making. While large-scale layoffs often trouble investors, the market reacted positively to this news. The strategic shift was not viewed merely as a cost-cutting measure but as an investment in growth, particularly in AI applications and enterprise products. Investors appeared to embrace the pivot, betting that rebuilding the platform around AI tools would lead to greater efficiency and a stronger competitive position in the future.

Fiverr is down 14% since the beginning of the year, and at $27.57 per share, it is trading 22.2% below its 52-week high of $35.45 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Fiverr’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $217.91.
