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 Stock Under $50 with Competitive Advantages and 2 to Steer Clear Of

FVRR Cover Image

Stocks in the $10-50 range offer a sweet spot between affordability and stability as they’re typically more established than penny stocks. But their headline prices don’t guarantee quality, and investors should exercise caution as some have shaky business models.

This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock under $50 with massive upside potential and two that could be down big.

Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:

Calavo (CVGW)

Share Price: $26.85

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 Do We Pass on CVGW?

  1. Annual sales declines of 15.8% for the past three years show its products struggled to connect with the market
  2. Forecasted revenue decline of 1.8% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall even further
  3. Commoditized products, bad unit economics, and high competition are reflected in its low gross margin of 10.5%

Calavo’s stock price of $26.85 implies a valuation ratio of 14.3x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with CVGW, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Astec (ASTE)

Share Price: $39.35

Inventing the first ever double-barrel hot-mix asphalt plant, Astec (NASDAQ: ASTE) provides machines and equipment for building roads, processing raw materials, and producing concrete.

Why Do We Think ASTE Will Underperform?

  1. Sales pipeline suggests its future revenue growth won’t meet our standards as its backlog averaged 28.1% declines over the past two years
  2. Estimated sales growth of 3.5% for the next 12 months is soft and implies weaker demand
  3. 8.1 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position

At $39.35 per share, Astec trades at 14x forward P/E. If you’re considering ASTE for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock Under $50 to Watch:

Fiverr (FVRR)

Share Price: $29.66

Based in Tel Aviv, Fiverr (NYSE: FVRR) operates a fixed price global freelance marketplace for digital services.

Why Are We Fans of FVRR?

  1. 17.4% annual increases in its average revenue per buyer over the last two years show its platform is resonating with power users
  2. Performance over the past three years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 52.1% outpaced its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin jumped by 9.7 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

Fiverr is trading at $29.66 per share, or 12.6x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
