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 Volatile Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 We Ignore

OLPX 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.

At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade. That said, here is one volatile stock that could reward patient investors and two that could just as easily collapse.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Olaplex (OLPX)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.45

Rising to fame on TikTok because of its “bond building" hair products, Olaplex (NASDAQ: OLPX) offers products and treatments that repair the damage caused by traditional heat and chemical-based styling goods.

Why Do We Think Twice About OLPX?

  1. Annual revenue declines of 16.4% over the last three years indicate problems with its market positioning
  2. Sales were less profitable over the last three years as its earnings per share fell by 49.6% annually, worse than its revenue declines
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last year as its free cash flow margin decreased by 13.2 percentage points

Olaplex’s stock price of $1.28 implies a valuation ratio of 14.4x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than OLPX.

AeroVironment (AVAV)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.61

Focused on the future of autonomous military combat, AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV) specializes in advanced unmanned aircraft systems and electric vehicle charging solutions.

Why Does AVAV Give Us Pause?

  1. Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last five years as its operating margin fell by 9.4 percentage points
  2. Free cash flow margin dropped by 25.6 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
  3. Push for growth has led to negative returns on capital, signaling value destruction

At $396.00 per share, AeroVironment trades at 92.4x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including AVAV in your portfolio.

One Stock to Buy:

Axon (AXON)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.83

Providing body cameras and tasers for first responders, AXON (NASDAQ: AXON) develops technology solutions and weapons products for military, law enforcement, and civilians.

Why Are We Backing AXON?

  1. Products are reaching more customers as its unit sales averaged 28.8% growth over the past two years
  2. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 46.5% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Historical investments are beginning to pay off as its returns on capital are growing

Axon is trading at $714.44 per share, or 107.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
