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.

Instacart (CART) Stock Is Up, What You Need To Know

CART Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of online grocery delivery platform Instacart (NASDAQ: CART) jumped 2.7% in the afternoon session after the company announced a partnership with Vroom Delivery to bring its Carrot Ads platform to 3,500 convenience stores across the United States. 

This move aimed to expand Instacart's high-margin advertising business, a key growth area for the company. The collaboration allowed convenience retailers to use Instacart's advertising technology, opening the door for over 7,500 advertisers to reach more consumers. This news came on the heels of a strong second quarter, where the company's revenue and gross transaction value both grew by 11%, driven by a 17% jump in order volume. 

The advertising division, in particular, showed robust health, with revenues hitting $255 million, a 12% year-over-year increase. Investors viewed the Vroom partnership as a strategic step to further bolster this lucrative revenue stream, deepening the company's role in the competitive retail media landscape.

The shares closed the day at $42.25, up 1.8% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Instacart’s shares are quite volatile and have had 15 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 3 days ago when the stock dropped 4.7% on the news that its key competitor, Amazon, announced a new partnership with grocery chain Winn-Dixie to expand its grocery delivery service in Florida. 

This collaboration focused on the Jacksonville and Orlando areas, offering customers over 16,000 items via Amazon's platform. The strategic move positions Amazon as a formidable competitor in the grocery delivery market. Investors reacted to the heightened competitive pressure, which sparked concerns about Instacart's ability to defend its market share in these key Florida regions.

Instacart is down 1.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $42.21 per share, it is trading 20.6% below its 52-week high of $53.15 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Instacart’s shares at the IPO in September 2023 would now be looking at an investment worth $1,253.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
