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 Consumer Stocks We Keep Off Our Radar

HBI Cover Image

Consumer discretionary businesses are levered to the highs and lows of economic cycles. Over the past six months, it seems like demand trends are working against their favor as the industry has tumbled by 5.8%. This performance is a noticeable divergence from the S&P 500’s 5.4% return.

While some companies have durable competitive advantages that enable them to grow consistently, the odds aren’t great for the ones we’re analyzing today. Taking that into account, here are three consumer stocks that may face trouble.

Hanesbrands (HBI)

Market Cap: $1.71 billion

A classic American staple founded in 1901, Hanesbrands (NYSE: HBI) is a clothing company known for its array of basic apparel including innerwear and activewear.

Why Should You Sell HBI?

  1. Constant currency growth was below our standards over the past two years, suggesting it might need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
  2. Projected sales for the next 12 months are flat and suggest demand will be subdued
  3. Performance over the past five years shows each sale was less profitable as its earnings per share dropped by 18% annually, worse than its revenue

Hanesbrands’s stock price of $4.79 implies a valuation ratio of 9x forward P/E. If you’re considering HBI for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

WideOpenWest (WOW)

Market Cap: $279 million

Initially started in Denver as a cable television provider, WideOpenWest (NYSE: WOW) provides high-speed internet, cable, and telephone services to the Midwest and Southeast regions of the U.S.

Why Are We Out on WOW?

  1. Number of subscribers has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings
  2. Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

At $5 per share, WideOpenWest trades at 1.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including WOW in your portfolio.

Inspired (INSE)

Market Cap: $228 million

Specializing in digital casino gaming, Inspired (NASDAQ: INSE) is a provider of gaming hardware, virtual sports platforms, and server-based gaming systems.

Why Does INSE Give Us Pause?

  1. Lackluster 1.1% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates the company is losing ground to competitors
  2. Demand will likely fall over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
  3. Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital

Inspired is trading at $8.47 per share, or 2.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why INSE doesn’t pass our bar.
