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.

3 Stocks Under $50 Skating on Thin Ice

NCNO Cover Image

Stocks in the $10-50 range offer a sweet spot between affordability and stability as they’re typically more established than penny stocks. But their headline prices don’t guarantee quality, and investors should exercise caution as some have shaky business models.

These dynamic can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. That said, here are three stocks under $50 to swipe left on and some alternatives you should look into instead.

nCino (NCNO)

Share Price: $28.73

Founded in 2011 in North Carolina, nCino (NASDAQ: NCNO) makes cloud-based operating systems for banks and provides that software-as-a-service.

Why Are We Cautious About NCNO?

  1. Gross margin of 60.2% is below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in areas like marketing and R&D
  2. Track record of operating losses stem from its decision to pursue growth instead of profits

nCino’s stock price of $28.73 implies a valuation ratio of 5.6x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering NCNO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Vishay Intertechnology (VSH)

Share Price: $17.01

Named after the founder's ancestral village in present-day Lithuania, Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE: VSH) manufactures simple chips and electronic components that are building blocks of virtually all types of electronic devices.

Why Is VSH Risky?

  1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 1.9% annual growth was below the typical semiconductor company
  2. Gross margin of 25.3% reflects its high production costs
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 12.5 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

At $17.01 per share, Vishay Intertechnology trades at 21.8x forward price-to-earnings. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than VSH.

WillScot Mobile Mini (WSC)

Share Price: $30.58

Originally focusing on mobile offices for construction sites, WillScot (NASDAQ: WSC) provides ready-to-use temporary spaces, largely for longer-term lease.

Why Does WSC Worry Us?

  1. 5.7% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its industrials peers
  2. Demand is forecasted to shrink as its estimated sales for the next 12 months are flat
  3. ROIC of 6.9% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities

WillScot Mobile Mini is trading at $30.58 per share, or 17x forward price-to-earnings. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including WSC in your portfolio.
