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.

2 Cash-Producing Stocks with Exciting Potential and 1 to Think Twice About

ETSY Cover Image

Generating cash is essential for any business, but not all cash-rich companies are great investments. Some produce plenty of cash but fail to allocate it effectively, leading to missed opportunities.

Not all companies are created equal, and StockStory is here to surface the ones with real upside. Keeping that in mind, here are two cash-producing companies that excel at turning cash into shareholder value and one that may face some trouble.

One Stock to Sell:

Etsy (ETSY)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 25.2%

Founded by a struggling amateur furniture maker Robert Kalin and his two friends, Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY) is one of the world’s largest online marketplaces, focusing on handmade or vintage items.

Why Are We Cautious About ETSY?

  1. Active Buyers have stagnated over the last two years, indicating its platform may be struggling to differentiate itself from competitors
  2. Projected sales are flat for the next 12 months, implying demand will slow from its three-year trend
  3. Earnings per share were flat over the last three years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were less profitable

Etsy is trading at $45.11 per share, or 7.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with ETSY, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Stocks to Watch:

Upwork (UPWK)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 22%

Formed through the 2013 merger of Elance and oDesk, Upwork (NASDAQ: UPWK) is an online platform where businesses and independent professionals connect to get work done.

Why Could UPWK Be a Winner?

  1. Customer spending is rising as the company has focused on monetization over the last two years, leading to 8.4% annual growth in its average revenue per customer
  2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 168% over the last three years outstripped its revenue performance
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 21.1 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

At $13.59 per share, Upwork trades at 10.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

Samsara (IOT)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 8.9%

One of the few public companies where Marc Andreessen is a Board member, Samsara (NYSE: IOT) provides software and hardware to track industrial equipment, assets, and fleets.

Why Is IOT a Top Pick?

  1. ARR growth averaged 35% over the last year, showing customers are willing to take multi-year bets on its offerings
  2. Market share will likely rise over the next 12 months as its expected revenue growth of 22.8% is robust
  3. Operating profits and efficiency rose over the last year as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage

Samsara’s stock price of $39.22 implies a valuation ratio of 14.4x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
