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 Internet Stocks for Long-Term Investors and 1 to Approach with Caution

REAL Cover Image

Consumer internet businesses are redefining how people engage with the world by giving them instant connectivity and convenience. The new habits they’re cultivating are also unlocking the next leg of growth for the industry, which has gained 1.6% over the past six months. Investing here would have been wise - at the same time, the S&P 500 fell by 2%.

Although these companies have produced results, only those with the widest moats will survive as emerging red-hot players pop up regularly to take their slice of the pie. Keeping that in mind, here are two resilient internet stocks at the top of our wish list and one we’re swiping left on.

One Consumer Internet Stock to Sell:

The RealReal (REAL)

Market Cap: $663.9 million

Founded by consignment store aficionado Julie Wainwright, The RealReal (NASDAQ: REAL) is an online marketplace for buying and selling secondhand luxury goods.

Why Are We Wary of REAL?

  1. Intense competition is diverting traffic from its platform as its active buyers fell by 7.7% annually
  2. Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
  3. 23× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio makes lenders less willing to extend additional capital, potentially necessitating dilutive equity offerings

The RealReal is trading at $5.81 per share, or 22.9x forward EV/EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with REAL, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Consumer Internet Stocks to Watch:

Lyft (LYFT)

Market Cap: $5.24 billion

Founded by Logan Green and John Zimmer as a long-distance intercity carpooling company Zimride, Lyft (NASDAQ: LYFT) operates a ridesharing network in the US and Canada.

Why Are We Positive On LYFT?

  1. Active Riders have grown by 10% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
  2. Additional sales over the last three years increased its profitability as the 42.5% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Free cash flow margin jumped by 18.9 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

Lyft’s stock price of $12.42 implies a valuation ratio of 10.6x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Robinhood (HOOD)

Market Cap: $41.14 billion

With a mission to democratize finance, Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD) is an online consumer finance platform known for its commission-free stock and crypto trading.

Why Is HOOD a Good Business?

  1. Customers are spending more money on its platform as its average revenue per user has increased by 43.1% annually over the last two years
  2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 41.2% over the last three years outstripped its revenue performance
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 1,104 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

At $45.88 per share, Robinhood trades at 21.2x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
