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 with Exciting Potential and 2 to Avoid

VITL Cover Image

The Russell 2000 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. Keeping that in mind, here is one Russell 2000 stock that could be the next big thing and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

USANA (USNA)

Market Cap: $525.2 million

Going to market with a direct selling model rather than through traditional retailers, USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA) manufactures and sells nutritional, personal care, and skincare products.

Why Is USNA Not Exciting?

  1. Sales tumbled by 10.4% annually over the last three years, showing consumer trends are working against its favor
  2. Smaller revenue base of $854.5 million means it hasn’t achieved the economies of scale that some industry juggernauts enjoy
  3. Sales were less profitable over the last three years as its earnings per share fell by 23.1% annually, worse than its revenue declines

At $27.78 per share, USANA trades at 9.7x forward price-to-earnings. If you’re considering USNA for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Hyster-Yale Materials Handling (HY)

Market Cap: $740.8 million

Playing a significant role in the development of the hydraulic lift truck, Hyster-Yale (NYSE: HY) designs, manufactures, and sells materials handling equipment to various sectors.

Why Does HY Fall Short?

  1. 5.5% annual revenue growth over the last five years was slower than its industrials peers
  2. Projected sales decline of 5.4% for the next 12 months points to a tough demand environment ahead
  3. Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of 0.4% for the last five years

Hyster-Yale Materials Handling’s stock price of $41.83 implies a valuation ratio of 7.9x forward price-to-earnings. To fully understand why you should be careful with HY, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Buy:

Vital Farms (VITL)

Market Cap: $1.32 billion

With an emphasis on ethically produced products, Vital Farms (NASDAQ: VITL) specializes in pasture-raised eggs and butter.

Why Is VITL a Top Pick?

  1. Products are flying off the shelves as its unit sales averaged 18.9% growth over the past two years
  2. Notable projected revenue growth of 22.2% for the next 12 months hints at market share gains
  3. Earnings per share grew by 194% annually over the last three years and trumped its peers

Vital Farms is trading at $29.66 per share, or 24.6x forward price-to-earnings. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
