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 Consumer Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 to Avoid

CVGW Cover Image

Consumer staples stocks are solid insurance policies in frothy markets ripe for corrections. But recently, the industry has failed to do its job as it shed 14% over the past six months. This drawdown was worse than the S&P 500’s 6.2% fall.

Despite the lackluster result, a few diamonds in the rough can produce earnings growth no matter what, and we started StockStory to help you find them. Keeping that in mind, here is one consumer stock poised to generate sustainable market-beating returns and two we’re steering clear of.

Two Consumer Staples Stocks to Sell:

Calavo (CVGW)

Market Cap: $464.5 million

A trailblazer in the avocado industry, Calavo Growers (NASDAQ: CVGW) is a pioneering California-based provider of high-quality avocados and other fresh food products.

Why Does CVGW Fall Short?

  1. Products have few die-hard fans as sales have declined by 14.7% annually over the last three years
  2. Smaller revenue base of $688.3 million means it hasn’t achieved the economies of scale that some industry juggernauts enjoy
  3. Gross margin of 10.6% is below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in areas like marketing and production facilities

Calavo’s stock price of $25.82 implies a valuation ratio of 15.3x forward P/E. If you’re considering CVGW for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Tilray (TLRY)

Market Cap: $432.1 million

Founded in 2013, Tilray Brands (NASDAQ: TLRY) engages in cannabis research, cultivation, and distribution, offering a range of medical and recreational cannabis products, hemp-based foods, and alcoholic beverages.

Why Should You Sell TLRY?

  1. Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last year as its operating margin fell by 70.1 percentage points
  2. Long-term business health is up for debate as its cash burn has increased over the last year
  3. Negative returns on capital show management lost money while trying to expand the business, and its decreasing returns suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Tilray is trading at $0.43 per share, or 5.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including TLRY in your portfolio.

One Consumer Staples Stock to Buy:

Inter Parfums (IPAR)

Market Cap: $3.85 billion

With licenses to produce colognes and perfumes under brands such as Kate Spade, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Abercrombie & Fitch, Inter Parfums (NASDAQ: IPAR) manufactures and distributes fragrances worldwide.

Why Will IPAR Beat the Market?

  1. Remarkable 16.3% revenue growth over the last three years demonstrates its ability to capture significant market share
  2. Products command premium prices and lead to a top-tier gross margin of 55.6%
  3. Free cash flow margin jumped by 11.3 percentage points over the last year, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

At $119.71 per share, Inter Parfums trades at 21.6x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

Stocks That Overcame Trump’s 2018 Tariffs

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election sent major indices to all-time highs, but stocks have retraced as investors debate the health of the economy and the potential impact of tariffs.

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