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.

Cabling Installation & Maintenance is published by Endeavor Business Media, a division of EndeavorB2B.

3 Volatile Stocks Walking a Fine Line

BJRI Cover Image

Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.

Navigating these stocks isn’t easy, which is why StockStory helps you find Comfort In Chaos. Keeping that in mind, here are three volatile stocks to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

BJ's (BJRI)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.15

Founded in 1978 in California, BJ’s Restaurants (NASDAQ: BJRI) is a chain of restaurants whose menu features classic American dishes, often with a twist.

Why Do We Avoid BJRI?

  1. Weak same-store sales trends over the past two years suggest there may be few opportunities in its core markets to open new restaurants
  2. Gross margin of 14.7% is below its competitors, leaving less money for marketing and promotions
  3. Underwhelming 2.6% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

At $31.94 per share, BJ's trades at 15.2x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why BJRI doesn’t pass our bar.

THOR Industries (THO)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.16

Created through the acquisition and merger of various RV manufacturers, THOR Industries manufactures and sells a range of recreational vehicles, including motorhomes and travel trailers, catering to consumers seeking the freedom and comfort of the RV lifestyle.

Why Are We Out on THO?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 7.2% annually over the last two years
  2. Earnings per share have dipped by 16.5% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

THOR Industries’s stock price of $105.72 implies a valuation ratio of 24.8x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with THO, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Oracle (ORCL)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.59

Starting as a database company in 1977 and now powering mission-critical systems across the globe, Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) provides enterprise software and hardware products and services that help businesses manage their information technology needs.

Why Is ORCL Risky?

  1. Customers had second thoughts about committing to its platform over the last year as its average billings growth of 9.2% underwhelmed
  2. Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

Oracle is trading at $290 per share, or 12x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including ORCL in your portfolio.
