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 Cash-Heavy Stock Worth Your Attention and 2 We Question

RGR Cover Image

A surplus of cash can mean financial stability, but it can also indicate a reluctance (or inability) to invest in growth. Some of these companies also face challenges like stagnating revenue, declining market share, or limited scalability.

Not all businesses with cash are winners, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you separate the good from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here is one company with a net cash position that can continue growing sustainably and two that may struggle.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Ruger (RGR)

Net Cash Position: $99.3 million (13.4% of Market Cap)

Founded in 1949, Ruger (NYSE: RGR) is an American manufacturer of firearms for the commercial sporting market.

Why Should You Sell RGR?

  1. Annual revenue declines of 3.9% over the last two years indicate problems with its market positioning
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 14.6% annually
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

At $45.47 per share, Ruger trades at 24.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering RGR for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Capital One (COF)

Net Cash Position: $21.14 billion (16.3% of Market Cap)

Starting as a credit card company in 1988 before expanding into a full-service bank, Capital One (NYSE: COF) is a financial services company that offers credit cards, auto loans, banking services, and commercial lending to consumers and businesses.

Why Does COF Give Us Pause?

  1. Annual tangible book value per share growth of 1.3% over the last two years lagged behind its financials peers as its large balance sheet made it difficult to generate incremental capital growth

Capital One’s stock price of $202.84 implies a valuation ratio of 11.4x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including COF in your portfolio.

One Stock to Watch:

Lantheus (LNTH)

Net Cash Position: $127.9 million (3.3% of Market Cap)

Pioneering the "Find, Fight and Follow" approach to disease management, Lantheus Holdings (NASDAQGM:LNTH) develops and commercializes radiopharmaceuticals and other imaging agents that help healthcare professionals detect, diagnose, and treat diseases.

Why Are We Fans of LNTH?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 35.6% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
  2. Free cash flow margin increased by 22.9 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders
  3. Returns on capital are climbing as management makes more lucrative bets

Lantheus is trading at $55.75 per share, or 11.3x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
