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.

3 Internet Stocks to Drop Right Now

RVLV Cover Image

Whether it be online shopping or social media, the secular forces propelling consumer internet businesses are marching along with little hesitation. These paradigm shifts are not only fostering new habits but also unlocking the next leg of growth for the industry, which has gained 25.6% over the past six months while outpacing the S&P 500 by 15.5 percentage points.

Although these companies have produced results, only those with the widest moats will survive as new red-hot players pop up regularly to take their slice of the pie. Keeping that in mind, here are three consumer internet stocks we’re steering clear of.

Revolve (RVLV)

Market Cap: $2.34 billion

Launched in 2003 by software engineers Michael Mente and Mike Karanikolas, Revolve Group (NASDAQ: RVLV) is a fashion retailer leveraging social media and a community of fashion influencers to drive its merchandising strategy.

Why Are We Wary of RVLV?

  1. Decision to emphasize user growth over monetization has contributed to 9.5% annual declines in its average revenue per buyer
  2. Overhead has increased over the last four years as its EBITDA margin fell by 7 percentage points
  3. Performance over the past three years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 22.4% annually

At $33.51 per share, Revolve trades at 35x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than RVLV.

Chewy (CHWY)

Market Cap: $13.89 billion

Founded by Ryan Cohen, who later became known for his involvement in GameStop, Chewy (NYSE: CHWY) is an online retailer specializing in pet food, supplies, and healthcare services.

Why Do We Think Twice About CHWY?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 7.4% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  2. Bad unit economics and steep infrastructure costs are reflected in its low gross margin of 28.6%
  3. Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital

Chewy is trading at $34 per share, or 23x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering CHWY for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Wayfair (W)

Market Cap: $5.59 billion

Founded in 2002 by Niraj Shah, Wayfair (NYSE: W) is a leading online retailer of mass-market home goods in the US, UK, Canada, and Germany.

Why Do We Steer Clear of W?

  1. Struggled to engage its audience as its active customers averaged 5% declines
  2. Sales were less profitable over the last three years as its earnings per share fell by 60.3% annually, worse than its revenue declines
  3. 6× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of bankruptcy if things unexpectedly turn

Wayfair’s stock price of $44.65 implies a valuation ratio of 9.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than W.
