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 Worth Investigating and 2 Facing Headwinds

TRN Cover Image

Stocks trading between $10 and $50 can be particularly interesting as they frequently represent businesses that have survived their early challenges. However, investors should remain vigilant as some may still have unproven business models, leaving them vulnerable to the ebbs and flows of the broader market.

This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. That said, here is one stock under $50 that could 10x and two that may have trouble.

Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:

Trinity (TRN)

Share Price: $23.30

Operating under the trade name TrinityRail, Trinity (NYSE: TRN) is a provider of railcar products and services in North America.

Why Should You Sell TRN?

  1. Annual sales declines of 2% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. 9.3 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. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

Trinity is trading at $23.30 per share, or 5.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering TRN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Bruker (BRKR)

Share Price: $38.31

With roots dating back to the pioneering days of nuclear magnetic resonance technology, Bruker (NASDAQ: BRKR) develops and manufactures high-performance scientific instruments that enable researchers and industrial analysts to explore materials at microscopic, molecular, and cellular levels.

Why Are We Wary of BRKR?

  1. Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last two years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 5.1 percentage points
  2. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 9.4 percentage points
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

At $38.31 per share, Bruker trades at 13.9x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with BRKR, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock Under $50 to Watch:

Trupanion (TRUP)

Share Price: $47.41

Born from a vision to help pet owners avoid economic euthanasia when faced with expensive veterinary bills, Trupanion (NASDAQ: TRUP) provides medical insurance for cats and dogs through data-driven, vertically-integrated products priced specifically for each pet's unique characteristics.

Why Is TRUP on Our Radar?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 17.6% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 94.6% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Annual book value per share growth of 14.9% over the last five years was superb and indicates its capital strength increased during this cycle

Trupanion’s stock price of $47.41 implies a valuation ratio of 5.9x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
