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 on Our Watchlist and 2 We Find Risky

LSCC 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.

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 amplify your portfolio’s returns and two that may have trouble.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Sell:

Lattice Semiconductor (LSCC)

Market Cap: $9.63 billion

A global leader in its category, Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC) is a semiconductor designer specializing in customer-programmable chips that enhance CPU performance for intensive tasks such as machine learning.

Why Are We Cautious About LSCC?

  1. Sales tumbled by 17.8% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Efficiency has decreased over the last five years as its operating margin fell by 15 percentage points
  3. Earnings growth over the last five years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 5.2% annually

Lattice Semiconductor’s stock price of $70.36 implies a valuation ratio of 54.7x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than LSCC.

Custom Truck One Source (CTOS)

Market Cap: $1.49 billion

Inspired by a family gas station, Custom Truck One Source (NYSE: CTOS) is a distributor of trucks and heavy equipment.

Why Are We Wary of CTOS?

  1. Muted 4.1% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its industrials peers
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last two years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 24.4 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

At $6.58 per share, Custom Truck One Source trades at 219.3x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with CTOS, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

One Small-Cap Stock to Watch:

Light & Wonder (LNW)

Market Cap: $6.10 billion

With names as crazy as Ultimate Fire Link Power 4 for its products, Light & Wonder (NASDAQ: LNW) is a gaming company supplying the casino industry with slot machines, table games, and digital games.

Why Are We Positive On LNW?

  1. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong two-year operating margin of 21.4%
  2. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 25.9%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last five years
  3. Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments

Light & Wonder is trading at $73.83 per share, or 11.7x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
