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 Low-Volatility Stocks in Hot Water

JBTM Cover Image

Low-volatility stocks may offer stability, but that often comes at the cost of slower growth and the upside potential of more dynamic companies.

Luckily for you, StockStory helps you navigate which companies are truly worth holding. That said, here are three low-volatility stocks to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

John Bean (JBTM)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.78

Tracing back to its invention of the mechanical milk bottle filler in 1884, John Bean (NYSE: JBT) designs, manufactures, and sells equipment used for food processing and aviation.

Why Do We Steer Clear of JBTM?

  1. Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
  2. 6.6 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
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 5Ă— could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

At $123.76 per share, John Bean trades at 20x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than JBTM.

Addus HomeCare (ADUS)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.41

Serving approximately 66,000 clients across 22 states with a focus on "dual eligible" Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, Addus HomeCare (NASDAQ: ADUS) provides in-home personal care, hospice, and home health services to elderly, chronically ill, and disabled individuals.

Why Does ADUS Give Us Pause?

  1. Revenue base of $1.21 billion puts it at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors exhibiting economies of scale

Addus HomeCare’s stock price of $110.62 implies a valuation ratio of 17.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering ADUS for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Pacific Premier Bancorp (PPBI)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.95

With a specialized division that serves homeowners' associations nationwide and a trust division that handles self-directed IRAs with alternative assets, Pacific Premier Bancorp (NASDAQ: PPBI) is a Western US regional bank that provides banking services to small and middle-market businesses, corporations, non-profits, and specialty markets.

Why Should You Dump PPBI?

  1. Customers borrowered less money this cycle as its net interest income declined by 4.8% annually over the last four years
  2. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last four years, causing its efficiency ratio to worsen by 15.4 percentage points
  3. Earnings per share fell by 9.1% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable

Pacific Premier Bancorp is trading at $22.76 per share, or 0.7x forward P/B. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why PPBI doesn’t pass our bar.
