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 Safe-and-Steady Stock to Own for Decades and 2 to Think Twice About

ETSY Cover Image

Low-volatility stocks may offer stability, but that often comes at the cost of slower growth and the upside potential of more dynamic companies.

Luckily for you, StockStory helps you navigate which companies are truly worth holding. Keeping that in mind, here is one low-volatility stock that could succeed under all market conditions and two stuck in limbo.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Etsy (ETSY)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.54

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 Hesitant About ETSY?

  1. Market opportunities are plateauing as its active buyers were flat over the last two years
  2. Estimated sales decline of 1.8% for the next 12 months implies a challenging demand environment
  3. Earnings per share lagged its peers over the last three years as they only grew by 2.6% annually

Etsy is trading at $47.10 per share, or 6.7x forward EV/EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ETSY doesn’t pass our bar.

Tennant (TNC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.75

As the world’s largest manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots, Tennant (NYSE: TNC) designs, manufactures, and sells cleaning products to various sectors.

Why Are We Cautious About TNC?

  1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 2.3% annual growth was below the typical industrials company
  2. Projected sales decline of 1% for the next 12 months points to a tough demand environment ahead
  3. 7.1 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position

At $76.74 per share, Tennant trades at 12.4x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with TNC, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Buy:

Lululemon (LULU)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.72

Originally serving yogis and hockey players, Lululemon (NASDAQ: LULU) is a designer, distributor, and retailer of athletic apparel for men and women.

Why Are We Bullish on LULU?

  1. Comparable store sales rose by 8.2% on average over the past two years, demonstrating its ability to drive increased spending at existing locations
  2. Unique assortment of products and pricing power lead to a best-in-class gross margin of 58.8%
  3. LULU is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders

Lululemon’s stock price of $324 implies a valuation ratio of 21.1x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
