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 Industrials Stock to Research Further and 2 to Think Twice About

GFF Cover Image

Industrials businesses quietly power the physical things we depend on, from cars and homes to e-commerce infrastructure. But they are at the whim of volatile macroeconomic factors that influence capital spending (like interest rates), and the market seems convinced that demand will slow. Due to this bearish outlook, the industry has tumbled by 1.4% over the past six months. This drop was discouraging since the S&P 500 returned 1.9%.

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. Taking that into account, here is one industrials stock boasting a durable advantage and two that may face trouble.

Two IndustrialsStocks to Sell:

Quest Resource (QRHC)

Market Cap: $44.47 million

Recycling corporate waste to help companies be more sustainable, Quest Resource (NASDAQ: QRHC) is a provider of waste and recycling services.

Why Are We Out on QRHC?

  1. Sales were flat over the last two years, indicating it’s failed to expand this cycle
  2. Free cash flow margin shrank by 9 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

Quest Resource’s stock price of $2.15 implies a valuation ratio of 6.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering QRHC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Schneider (SNDR)

Market Cap: $4.19 billion

Employing thousands of drivers across the country to make deliveries, Schneider (NYSE: SNDR) makes full truckload and intermodal deliveries regionally and across borders.

Why Should You Sell SNDR?

  1. Annual sales declines of 8.5% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 10% annually
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Schneider is trading at $23.92 per share, or 24.4x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why SNDR doesn’t pass our bar.

One Industrials Stock to Watch:

Griffon (GFF)

Market Cap: $3.18 billion

Initially in the defense industry, Griffon (NYSE: GFF) is a now diversified company specializing in home improvement, professional equipment, and building products.

Why Are We Positive On GFF?

  1. Operating profits increased over the last five years as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
  2. Incremental sales over the last five years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 32.6% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin jumped by 10 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

At $67.68 per share, Griffon trades at 11.3x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
