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 $50 with Mounting Challenges

BOX Cover Image

The $10-50 price range often includes mid-sized businesses with proven track records and plenty of growth runway ahead. They also usually carry less risk than penny stocks, though they’re not immune to volatility as many lack the scale advantages of their larger peers.

These dynamics can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks under $50 to swipe left on and some alternatives you should look into instead.

Box (BOX)

Share Price: $30.96

Founded in 2005 by Aaron Levie and Dylan Smith, Box (NYSE: BOX) provides organizations with software to securely store, share and collaborate around work documents in the cloud.

Why Does BOX Fall Short?

  1. Muted 7.6% annual revenue growth over the last three years shows its demand lagged behind its software peers
  2. Products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy may need some adjustments as its 4.7% average billings growth over the last year was weak
  3. Estimated sales growth of 5.4% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend

Box’s stock price of $30.96 implies a valuation ratio of 4.1x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with BOX, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Ruger (RGR)

Share Price: $32.89

Founded in 1949, Ruger (NYSE: RGR) is an American manufacturer of firearms for the commercial sporting market.

Why Do We Steer Clear of RGR?

  1. Products and services aren't resonating with the market as its revenue declined by 3.9% annually over the last two years
  2. Earnings per share have contracted by 26.8% annually over the last four years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
  3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

Ruger is trading at $32.89 per share, or 10.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering RGR for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

SolarEdge (SEDG)

Share Price: $14.88

Established in 2006, SolarEdge (NASDAQ: SEDG) creates advanced systems to improve the efficiency of solar panels.

Why Are We Out on SEDG?

  1. Demand for its offerings was relatively low as its number of megawatts shipped has underwhelmed
  2. Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned
  3. Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders

At $14.88 per share, SolarEdge trades at 0.7x forward price-to-sales. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than SEDG.
