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.

2 Small-Cap Stocks Worth Your Attention and 1 We Find Risky

CVLT Cover Image

Small-cap stocks can be incredibly lucrative investments because their lack of analyst coverage leads to frequent mispricings. However, these businesses (and their stock prices) often stay small because their subscale operations make it harder to expand their competitive moats.

The downside that can come from buying these securities is precisely why we started StockStory - to isolate the long-term winners from the losers so you can invest with confidence. That said, here are two small-cap stocks that could amplify your portfolio’s returns and one best left ignored.

One Small-Cap Stock to Sell:

Brink's (BCO)

Market Cap: $4.44 billion

Known for its iconic armored trucks that have been a fixture in American cities since 1859, Brink's (NYSE: BCO) provides secure transportation and management of cash and valuables for banks, retailers, and other businesses worldwide.

Why Does BCO Worry Us?

  1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last two years as its 3.5% annual growth was below the typical business services company
  2. 1.1 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. Underwhelming 14% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

Brink's is trading at $106.79 per share, or 13.3x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why BCO doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Watch:

Commvault Systems (CVLT)

Market Cap: $8.25 billion

Originally formed in 1988 as part of Bell Labs, Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT) provides enterprise software used for data backup and recovery, cloud and infrastructure management, retention, and compliance.

Why Do We Like CVLT?

  1. Average billings growth of 26.5% over the last year enhances its liquidity and shows there is steady demand for its products
  2. Superior software functionality and low servicing costs result in a premier gross margin of 82%
  3. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong trailing 12-month operating margin of 7.6%

Commvault Systems’s stock price of $189.52 implies a valuation ratio of 7.1x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

Market Cap: $2.89 billion

Founded in 2013 with a mission to transform healthcare for seniors, Alignment Healthcare (NASDAQ: ALHC) provides Medicare Advantage health plans for seniors with features like concierge services, transportation benefits, and technology-driven care coordination.

Why Will ALHC Outperform?

  1. Average customer growth of 40.2% over the past two years demonstrates success in acquiring new clients that could increase their spending in the future
  2. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last four years, increasing by 45.5% annually
  3. Free cash flow profile has moved into break even territory, showing the company is at an important crossroads
