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.

1 Small-Cap Stock to Target This Week and 2 We Find Risky

HLMN Cover Image

Many small-cap stocks have limited Wall Street coverage, giving savvy investors the chance to act before everyone else catches on. But the flip side is that these businesses have increased downside risk because they lack the scale and staying power of their larger competitors.

Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. That said, here is one small-cap stock that could be the next 100 bagger and two that may have trouble.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Sell:

Hillman (HLMN)

Market Cap: $1.89 billion

Established when Max Hillman purchased a franchise operation, Hillman (NASDAQ: HLMN) designs, manufactures, and sells industrial equipment and systems for various sectors.

Why Does HLMN Worry Us?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 1.6% over the last two years was below our standards for the industrials sector
  2. Operating margin of 3.9% falls short of the industry average, and the smaller profit dollars make it harder to react to unexpected market developments
  3. Underwhelming 2.5% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

Hillman’s stock price of $9.51 implies a valuation ratio of 16.3x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with HLMN, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

Byrna (BYRN)

Market Cap: $530.6 million

Providing civilians with tools to disable, disarm, and deter would-be assailants, Byrna (NASDAQ: BYRN) is a provider of non-lethal weapons.

Why Are We Wary of BYRN?

  1. Suboptimal cost structure is highlighted by its history of operating margin losses
  2. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

Byrna is trading at $22.80 per share, or 25.7x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering BYRN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Small-Cap Stock to Watch:

IMAX (IMAX)

Market Cap: $1.71 billion

Originally developed for World Expo '67 in Montreal as an innovative projection system, IMAX (NYSE: IMAX) provides proprietary large-format cinema technology and systems that deliver immersive movie experiences with enhanced image quality and sound.

Why Do We Like IMAX?

  1. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 34.3% annually, topping its revenue gains
  2. Free cash flow margin expanded by 26.4 percentage points over the last five years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends
  3. Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments

At $31.57 per share, IMAX trades at 21.2x 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.
