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 Profitable Stock with Exciting Potential and 2 We Find Risky

RNG Cover Image

While profitability is essential, it doesn’t guarantee long-term success. Some companies that rest on their margins will lose ground as competition intensifies - as Jeff Bezos said, "Your margin is my opportunity".

Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. That said, here is one profitable company that leverages its financial strength to beat the competition and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

RingCentral (RNG)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 2.7%

Founded in 1999 during the dot-com era, RingCentral (NYSE: RNG) provides software as a service that unifies phone, text, fax, video calls and chat in one platform.

Why Is RNG Risky?

  1. Offerings struggled to generate meaningful interest as its average billings growth of 5% over the last year did not impress
  2. Estimated sales growth of 5% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  3. Customer acquisition costs take a while to recoup, making it difficult to justify sales and marketing investments that could increase revenue

RingCentral’s stock price of $27.09 implies a valuation ratio of 1x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering RNG for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

THOR Industries (THO)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 3.5%

Created through the acquisition and merger of various RV manufacturers, THOR Industries manufactures and sells a range of recreational vehicles, including motorhomes and travel trailers, catering to consumers seeking the freedom and comfort of the RV lifestyle.

Why Do We Steer Clear of THO?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 11.4% annually over the last two years
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last two years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

THOR Industries is trading at $95.37 per share, or 19.6x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than THO.

One Stock to Watch:

Tecnoglass (TGLS)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 26.7%

The first-ever Colombian company to trade on the NASDAQ, Tecnoglass (NYSE: TGLS) is a manufacturer of architectural glass, windows, and aluminum products.

Why Do We Like TGLS?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 20.3% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Healthy operating margin of 27.3% shows it’s a well-run company with efficient processes, and it turbocharged its profits by achieving some fixed cost leverage
  3. Industry-leading 28.9% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments, and its returns are growing as it capitalizes on even better market opportunities

At $77.70 per share, Tecnoglass trades at 17.2x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
