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 to Own for Decades and 2 to Turn Down

UTI 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.

The downside that can come from buying these securities is precisely why we started StockStory - to do the heavy lifting so you can invest with confidence. That said, here is one small-cap stock that could be the next 100 bagger and two that could be down big.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Sell:

Universal Technical Institute (UTI)

Market Cap: $1.56 billion

Founded in 1965, Universal Technical Institute (NYSE: UTI) is a leading provider of technical training programs, specializing in automotive, diesel, collision repair, motorcycle, and marine technicians.

Why Do We Steer Clear of UTI?

  1. Capital intensity will likely increase as its free cash flow margin is anticipated to drop by 2.6 percentage points over the next year
  2. Underwhelming 11% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities, and its decreasing returns suggest its historical profit centers are aging

At $28.53 per share, Universal Technical Institute trades at 25.6x forward price-to-earnings. If you’re considering UTI for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Terex (TEX)

Market Cap: $2.82 billion

With humble beginnings as a dump truck company, Terex (NYSE: TEX) today manufactures lifting and material handling equipment designed to move and hoist heavy goods and materials.

Why Does TEX Give Us Pause?

  1. Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
  2. Gross margin of 20.4% is below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in areas like marketing and R&D
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 1.5 percentage points

Terex is trading at $42.42 per share, or 8.5x forward price-to-earnings. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than TEX.

One Small-Cap Stock to Buy:

Byrna (BYRN)

Market Cap: $626 million

Providing civilians with tools to disable, disarm, and deter would-be assailants, Byrna (NASDAQ: BYRN) is a provider of non-lethal weapons.

Why Is BYRN a Top Pick?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 33.6% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Operating margin expanded by 30.4 percentage points over the last five years as it scaled and became more efficient
  3. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 88.2% outpaced its revenue gains

Byrna’s stock price of $28.44 implies a valuation ratio of 98.5x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
