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 to Own for Decades and 2 Facing Challenges

DOCS Cover Image

A cash-heavy balance sheet is often a sign of strength, but not always. Some companies avoid debt because they have weak business models, limited expansion opportunities, or inconsistent cash flow.

Financial flexibility is valuable, but it’s not everything - at StockStory, we help you find the stocks that can not only survive but also outperform. Keeping that in mind, here is one company with a net cash position that can leverage its balance sheet to grow and two best left off your watchlist.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Connection (CNXN)

Net Cash Position: $343.5 million (22.1% of Market Cap)

Starting as a small computer products seller in 1982 and evolving into a Fortune 1000 company, Connection (NASDAQ: CNXN) is a technology solutions provider that helps businesses and government agencies design, purchase, implement, and manage their IT infrastructure and systems.

Why Do We Avoid CNXN?

  1. Sales tumbled by 1.3% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last two years as its EPS grew by just 6.1% annually
  3. Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of 2.3% for the last five years

Connection’s stock price of $61.13 implies a valuation ratio of 16.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering CNXN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

DigitalBridge (DBRG)

Net Cash Position: $42.71 million (2% of Market Cap)

Transforming from a traditional real estate investor to a digital-focused powerhouse in 2021, DigitalBridge Group (NYSE: DBRG) is a global digital infrastructure investment firm that manages capital and operates assets across data centers, cell towers, fiber networks, and edge infrastructure.

Why Are We Cautious About DBRG?

  1. Annual sales declines of 21.7% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. ROE of 1.3% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities

At $12 per share, DigitalBridge trades at 1.2x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why DBRG doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Buy:

Doximity (DOCS)

Net Cash Position: $829.1 million (6% of Market Cap)

With over 80% of U.S. physicians as members of its digital community, Doximity (NYSE: DOCS) operates a digital platform that enables physicians and other healthcare professionals to collaborate, stay current with medical news, manage their careers, and conduct virtual patient visits.

Why Will DOCS Outperform?

  1. Billings growth has averaged 19.8% over the last year, indicating a healthy pipeline of new contracts that should drive future revenue increases
  2. Software platform has product-market fit given the rapid recovery of its customer acquisition costs
  3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends

Doximity is trading at $73.26 per share, or 22.8x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
