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 Russell 2000 Stocks Skating on Thin Ice

OPEN 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.

Navigating this part of the market can be tricky, which is why we built StockStory to help you separate the winners from the laggards. That said, here are three Russell 2000 stocks that don’t make the cut and some better choices instead.

Opendoor (OPEN)

Market Cap: $727.1 million

Founded by real estate guru Eric Wu, Opendoor (NASDAQ: OPEN) offers a technology-driven, convenient, and streamlined process to buy and sell homes.

Why Do We Think OPEN Will Underperform?

  1. Number of homes purchased has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings
  2. Historically negative EPS raises concerns for risk-averse investors and makes its earnings potential harder to gauge
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Opendoor is trading at $0.98 per share, or 0.1x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why OPEN doesn’t pass our bar.

TEGNA (TGNA)

Market Cap: $2.96 billion

Spun out of Gannett in 2015, TEGNA (NYSE: TGNA) is a media company operating a network of television stations and digital platforms, focusing on local news and community content.

Why Are We Hesitant About TGNA?

  1. Products and services aren't resonating with the market as its revenue declined by 2.7% annually over the last two years
  2. Projected sales decline of 10.7% over the next 12 months indicates demand will continue deteriorating
  3. Free cash flow margin is forecasted to shrink by 9.5 percentage points in the coming year, suggesting the company will consume more capital to keep up with its competitors

At $18.37 per share, TEGNA trades at 10x forward price-to-earnings. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including TGNA in your portfolio.

Lovesac (LOVE)

Market Cap: $272.5 million

Known for its oversized, premium beanbags, Lovesac (NASDAQ: LOVE) is a specialty furniture brand selling modular furniture.

Why Are We Wary of LOVE?

  1. Lackluster 6.4% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates the company is losing ground to competitors
  2. Estimated sales growth of 1.4% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

Lovesac’s stock price of $17.11 implies a valuation ratio of 11.6x forward price-to-earnings. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than LOVE.
