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 Coinbase (COIN) Stock Is Down Today

COIN Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of blockchain infrastructure company Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) fell 2.8% in the afternoon session after a widespread sell-off in the cryptocurrency market triggered by massive liquidations. 

The digital asset space faced intense selling pressure, wiping out an estimated $77 billion from the total market capitalization. This downturn was fueled by a staggering $1.7 billion in liquidated leveraged positions, impacting over 400,000 traders. The crash sent major cryptocurrencies to multi-week lows, with Bitcoin, the market leader, breaking below a critical support level. As a result, stocks with exposure to cryptocurrencies came under significant pressure. 

The negative sentiment spread across the sector, with other crypto-linked companies also experiencing declines. This market-wide event highlighted the close relationship between the performance of digital assets and companies like Coinbase, whose business is tied to the health of the crypto ecosystem.

The shares closed the day at $331.85, down 3.1% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Coinbase’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 62 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 4 days ago when the stock gained 7.8% on the news that CEO Brian Armstrong expressed strong optimism about an upcoming crypto regulation bill, calling it a 'freight train leaving the station.' 

Armstrong's bullish comments came after he met with lawmakers about the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which sought to clarify the roles for financial agencies that regulate the crypto market. The company also pushed its Base network forward with key announcements, including plans to explore a native token and launch a bridge to the Solana blockchain. Adding fuel to the rally, the broader cryptocurrency market climbed after the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates. Wall Street sentiment appeared to reflect this optimism, as analysts at Mizuho adjusted their price target on the stock upward to $300, while maintaining a neutral rating.

Coinbase is up 29.3% since the beginning of the year, but at $332.55 per share, it is still trading 20.8% below its 52-week high of $419.78 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Coinbase’s shares at the IPO in April 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $1,013.
