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 Russell 2000 Stocks We’re Skeptical Of

TDOC Cover Image

The Russell 2000 (^RUT) is packed with potential breakout stocks, thanks to its focus on smaller companies with high growth potential. However, smaller size also means these businesses often lack the resilience and financial flexibility of large-cap firms, making careful selection crucial.

The high-risk, high-reward nature of the Russell 2000 makes stock selection critical, and we’re here to guide you toward the right ones. Keeping that in mind, here are three Russell 2000 stocks that don’t make the cut and some better choices instead.

Teladoc (TDOC)

Market Cap: $1.48 billion

Founded to help people in rural areas get online medical consultations, Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC) is a telemedicine platform that facilitates remote doctor’s visits.

Why Does TDOC Worry Us?

  1. Lackluster 6% annual revenue growth over the last three years indicates the company is losing ground to competitors
  2. Preference for prioritizing user growth over monetization has led to 5.3% annual drops in its average revenue per user
  3. Projected sales decline of 1.3% for the next 12 months points to a tough demand environment ahead

Teladoc is trading at $8.47 per share, or 4.8x forward EV/EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including TDOC in your portfolio.

Kadant (KAI)

Market Cap: $3.90 billion

Headquartered in Massachusetts, Kadant (NYSE: KAI) is a global supplier of high-value, critical components and engineered systems used in process industries worldwide.

Why Are We Wary of KAI?

  1. Muted 7.2% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its industrials peers
  2. Demand will likely fall over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
  3. Earnings per share lagged its peers over the last two years as they only grew by 3.4% annually

Kadant’s stock price of $331.13 implies a valuation ratio of 32.6x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than KAI.

Lindsay (LNN)

Market Cap: $1.49 billion

A pioneer in the field of center pivot and lateral move irrigation, Lindsay (NYSE: LNN) provides a variety of proprietary water management and road infrastructure products and services.

Why Are We Hesitant About LNN?

  1. Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
  2. Projected sales decline of 2.6% over the next 12 months indicates demand will continue deteriorating
  3. Earnings growth over the last two years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 4% annually

At $137.02 per share, Lindsay trades at 21.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering LNN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
