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 Russell 2000 Stocks for Long-Term Investors and 1 to Think Twice About

LANC Cover Image

The Russell 2000 (^RUT) is packed with potential breakout stocks, thanks to its focus on smaller companies with high growth potential. However, smaller size also means these businesses often lack the resilience and financial flexibility of large-cap firms, making careful selection crucial.

Picking the right small caps isn’t easy, and that’s exactly why StockStory exists - to help you focus on the best opportunities. Keeping that in mind, here are two Russell 2000 stocks that could be the next big thing and one that may face some trouble.

One Stock to Sell:

Lancaster Colony (LANC)

Market Cap: $4.56 billion

Known for its frozen garlic bread and Parkerhouse rolls, Lancaster Colony (NASDAQ: LANC) sells bread, dressing, and dips to the retail and food service channels.

Why Are We Hesitant About LANC?

  1. 5.4% annual revenue growth over the last three years was slower than its consumer staples peers
  2. Revenue base of $1.89 billion puts it at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors exhibiting economies of scale
  3. Estimated sales growth of 1.7% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend

Lancaster Colony is trading at $165.48 per share, or 23.4x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than LANC.

Two Stocks to Buy:

Chart (GTLS)

Market Cap: $7.89 billion

Installing the first bulk Co2 tank for McDonalds’s sodas, Chart (NYSE: GTLS) provides equipment to store and transport gasses.

Why Are We Bullish on GTLS?

  1. Sales pipeline is in good shape as its backlog averaged 41.6% growth over the past two years
  2. Operating margin improvement of 7.3 percentage points over the last five years demonstrates its ability to scale efficiently
  3. Earnings per share grew by 35% annually over the last two years and trumped its peers

At $172.71 per share, Chart trades at 13.5x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

Bloom Energy (BE)

Market Cap: $4.70 billion

Working in stealth mode for eight years, Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) designs, manufactures, and markets solid oxide fuel cell systems for on-site power generation.

Why Are We Backing BE?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 14.5% over the last five years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 74.2% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Free cash flow turned positive over the last five years, showing the company has crossed a key inflection point

Bloom Energy’s stock price of $20.28 implies a valuation ratio of 45.3x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
