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 Is Lucid (LCID) Stock Soaring Today

LCID Cover Image

What Happened?

Shares of luxury electric car manufacturer Lucid (NASDAQ: LCID) jumped 5.9% in the afternoon session after news of its partnership with Uber to supply 20,000 Gravity SUVs for a new robotaxi program continued to resonate with investors. 

The $300 million agreement represented a significant step for the electric vehicle maker, which has been working to overcome operating losses and cash burn. This deal with a major ride-sharing company like Uber was viewed as a strong endorsement of Lucid's technology and its new SUV model. For investors, it signaled a potentially valuable new sales channel and a concrete step toward scaling its operations and carving out a position in the premium EV market.

The shares closed the day at $22.45, up 6.2% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Lucid’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 51 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 17 days ago when the stock gained 9.6% on the news that the company announced it has officially closed a $300 million strategic investment from Uber Technologies. 

The funding finalizes a partnership between the two companies to develop a next-generation premium global robotaxi program. This collaboration combines Lucid's advanced electric vehicle technology with Uber's extensive ride-hailing network. The robotaxis are planned to be built at Lucid's manufacturing facility in Arizona and will operate exclusively on Uber's platform. The program aims to deploy over 20,000 Lucid vehicles over six years. This move marks a significant step into the future of autonomous ride-sharing, with the new service expected to launch late next year in a major U.S. city.

Lucid is down 26.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $22.31 per share, it is trading 37.9% below its 52-week high of $35.90 from September 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Lucid’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $225.81.

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.
