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 Volatile Stocks Worth Your Attention and 1 to Steer Clear Of

OKTA Cover Image

Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.

At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade. Keeping that in mind, here are two volatile stocks that could deliver huge gains and one that might not be worth the risk.

One Stock to Sell:

Okta (OKTA)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.24

Founded during the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2009, Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) is a cloud-based software-as-a-service platform that helps companies manage identity for their employees and customers.

Why Are We Hesitant About OKTA?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 9.6% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  2. Historical operating losses show it had an inefficient cost structure while scaling
  3. Projected 4.1 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin next year reflects the company’s plans to increase its investments to defend its market position

At $117.30 per share, Okta trades at 7.2x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with OKTA, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Stocks to Watch:

CSW (CSWI)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.99

With over two centuries of combined operations manufacturing and supplying, CSW (NASDAQ: CSWI) offers special chemicals, coatings, sealants, and lubricants for various industries.

Why Is CSWI a Top Pick?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 17.8% 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 21.9% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Robust free cash flow margin of 15% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its improved cash conversion implies it’s becoming a less capital-intensive business

CSW’s stock price of $312.70 implies a valuation ratio of 33.6x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

Hims & Hers Health (HIMS)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 3.23

Originally launched with a focus on stigmatized conditions like hair loss and sexual health, Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) operates a consumer-focused telehealth platform that connects patients with healthcare providers for prescriptions and wellness products.

Why Are We Fans of HIMS?

  1. Average customer growth of 48.6% over the past two years demonstrates success in acquiring new clients that could increase their spending in the future
  2. Earnings per share grew by 28.6% annually over the last five years, massively outpacing its peers
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 23.5 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

Hims & Hers Health is trading at $49.82 per share, or 37.4x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Stocks We Like Even More

Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump’s presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth.

This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 175% over the last five years.
