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.

2 Small-Cap Stocks Worth Your Attention and 1 We Question

WLY Cover Image

Small-cap stocks can be incredibly lucrative investments because their lack of analyst coverage leads to frequent mispricings. However, these businesses (and their stock prices) often stay small because their subscale operations make it harder to expand their competitive moats.

These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are two small-cap stocks that could be the next big thing and one best left ignored.

One Small-Cap Stock to Sell:

Wiley (WLY)

Market Cap: $1.95 billion

With roots dating back to 1807 when Charles Wiley opened a small printing shop in Manhattan, John Wiley & Sons (NYSE: WLY) is a global academic publisher that provides scientific journals, books, digital courseware, and knowledge solutions for researchers, students, and professionals.

Why Should You Sell WLY?

  1. Annual sales declines of 1.9% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Earnings per share have dipped by 1.3% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 7.3 percentage points

Wiley is trading at $36.59 per share, or 5.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than WLY.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Watch:

Dycom (DY)

Market Cap: $8.42 billion

Working alongside some of the most popular mobile carriers in the world, Dycom (NYSE: DY) builds and maintains telecommunications infrastructure.

Why Are We Fans of DY?

  1. Impressive 11.1% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Operating margin expanded by 5.1 percentage points over the last five years as it scaled and became more efficient
  3. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 18%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last two years

Dycom’s stock price of $290.90 implies a valuation ratio of 27.5x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

Market Cap: $2.77 billion

Founded in the aftermath of the 2008 housing crisis to bring new capacity to the mortgage insurance market, NMI Holdings (NASDAQ: NMIH) provides mortgage insurance that protects lenders against losses when homebuyers default on their mortgage loans.

Why Is NMIH a Good Business?

  1. Steady 9.8% annualized growth in net premiums earned over the last two years shows its insurance offerings are gaining traction
  2. Combined ratio improved by 14.4 percentage points over the last four years as it scaled
  3. Annual book value per share growth of 16% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting strong capital accumulation this cycle

At $35.99 per share, NMI Holdings trades at 1.1x forward P/B. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
