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 Stocks Under $10 Playing with Fire

PTON Cover Image

Investors can certainly boost their returns by concentrating on stocks trading between $1 and $10. However, a disciplined approach is necessary because many of these businesses are speculative and lack the underlying fundamentals to support their prices.

The downside that can come from buying these securities is precisely why we started StockStory - to isolate the long-term winners from the losers so you can invest with confidence. That said, here are three stocks under $10 to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead.

Peloton (PTON)

Share Price: $7.33

Started as a Kickstarter campaign, Peloton (NASDAQ: PTON) is a fitness technology company known for its at-home exercise equipment and interactive online workout classes.

Why Should You Dump PTON?

  1. Sluggish trends in its connected fitness subscribers suggest customers aren’t adopting its solutions as quickly as the company hoped
  2. Forecasted revenue decline of 4.1% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall even further
  3. Poor expense management has led to operating losses

Peloton’s stock price of $7.33 implies a valuation ratio of 8.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with PTON, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Leslie's (LESL)

Share Price: $0.87

Named after founder Philip Leslie, who established the company in 1963, Leslie’s (NASDAQ: LESL) is a retailer that sells pool and spa supplies, equipment, and maintenance services.

Why Is LESL Risky?

  1. Weak same-store sales trends over the past two years suggest there may be few opportunities in its core markets to open new locations
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last four years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 12× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

Leslie's is trading at $0.87 per share, or 11.7x forward P/E. If you’re considering LESL for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Commercial Vehicle Group (CVGI)

Share Price: $1.29

Formed from a partnership between two distinct companies, CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI) offers various components used in vehicles and systems used in warehouses.

Why Do We Pass on CVGI?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 2.8% annually over the last five years
  2. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions
  3. Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders

At $1.29 per share, Commercial Vehicle Group trades at 9.3x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than CVGI.
