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 Russell 2000 Stock to Target This Week and 2 Facing Challenges

CVLT Cover Image

The Russell 2000 (^RUT) is home to many small-cap stocks, offering investors the chance to uncover hidden gems before the broader market catches on. However, these companies often come with higher volatility and risk, as their smaller size makes them more vulnerable to economic downturns.

The high-risk, high-reward nature of the Russell 2000 makes stock selection critical, and we’re here to guide you toward the right ones. That said, here is one Russell 2000 stock that could be a breakout winner and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Commvault (CVLT)

Market Cap: $7.48 billion

Born from the need to create ironclad protection in an increasingly dangerous digital world, Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT) provides data protection and cyber resilience software that helps organizations secure, back up, and recover their data across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

Why Does CVLT Worry Us?

  1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 9.1% annual growth was well below the typical software company
  2. Estimated sales growth of 13.2% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Efficiency has decreased over the last year as its operating margin fell by 1.1 percentage points

Commvault’s stock price of $169.09 implies a valuation ratio of 6.4x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with CVLT, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

eXp World (EXPI)

Market Cap: $1.70 billion

Founded in 2009, eXp World (NASDAQ: EXPI) is a real estate company known for its virtual, cloud-based approach to real estate brokerage.

Why Do We Pass on EXPI?

  1. Sluggish trends in its transactions suggest customers aren’t adopting its solutions as quickly as the company hoped
  2. Poor expense management has led to an operating margin of -0.5% that is below the industry average
  3. Earnings per share fell by 12.2% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable

eXp World is trading at $10.80 per share, or 31x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including EXPI in your portfolio.

One Stock to Watch:

Stock Yards Bank (SYBT)

Market Cap: $2.07 billion

Founded in 1904 in Louisville and named after the city's historic livestock market district, Stock Yards Bancorp (NASDAQ: SYBT) operates a regional bank providing commercial banking, wealth management, and trust services across Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio.

Why Is SYBT on Our Radar?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 16.9% annual net interest income growth over the last five years was exceptional
  2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 6.7% outpaced its revenue gains
  3. Capital strength is on track to rise over the next 12 months as its 25.3% projected tangible book value per share growth implies profitability will accelerate from its two-year trend

At $70.12 per share, Stock Yards Bank trades at 1.9x forward P/B. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
