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 Cash-Burning Stocks We Approach with Caution

GPRO Cover Image

Rapid spending isn’t always a sign of progress. Some cash-burning businesses fail to convert investments into meaningful competitive advantages, leaving them vulnerable.

Negative cash flow can lead to trouble, but StockStory helps you identify the businesses that stand a chance of making it through. Keeping that in mind, here are three cash-burning companies to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

GoPro (GPRO)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -11.3%

Known for sponsoring extreme athletes, GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) is a camera company known for its POV videos and editing software.

Why Do We Steer Clear of GPRO?

  1. Sales tumbled by 6.1% annually over the last five years, showing consumer trends are working against its favor
  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. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

GoPro is trading at $0.97 per share, or 15x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with GPRO, check out our full research report (it’s free).

WideOpenWest (WOW)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -5.7%

Initially started in Denver as a cable television provider, WideOpenWest (NYSE: WOW) provides high-speed internet, cable, and telephone services to the Midwest and Southeast regions of the U.S.

Why Do We Avoid WOW?

  1. Number of subscribers has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings
  2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

At $3.80 per share, WideOpenWest trades at 1.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including WOW in your portfolio.

Sunrun (RUN)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -35.2%

Helping homeowners use solar energy to power their homes, Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN) provides residential solar electricity, specializing in panel installation and leasing services.

Why Are We Hesitant About RUN?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 7.1% annually over the last two years
  2. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Sunrun’s stock price of $10.41 implies a valuation ratio of 14.9x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why RUN doesn’t pass our bar.
