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 Volatile Stock with Solid Fundamentals and 2 We Question

CFLT Cover Image

Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.

These stocks can be a rollercoaster, and StockStory is here to guide you through the ups and downs. That said, here is one volatile stock with massive upside potential and two best left to the gamblers.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Matson (MATX)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.20

Founded by a Swedish orphan, Matson (NYSE: MATX) is a provider of ocean transportation and logistics services.

Why Does MATX Fall Short?

  1. 1% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its industrials peers
  2. Projected sales decline of 7.5% for the next 12 months points to a tough demand environment ahead
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Matson is trading at $105.18 per share, or 11.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than MATX.

Enviri (NVRI)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.74

Cooling America’s first indoor ice rink in the 19th century, Enviri (NYSE: NVRI) offers steel and waste handling services.

Why Should You Sell NVRI?

  1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last two years as its 2.7% annual growth was below the typical industrials company
  2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

At $9.91 per share, Enviri trades at 2.6x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including NVRI in your portfolio.

One Stock to Watch:

Confluent (CFLT)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.73

Built by the original creators of Apache Kafka, the popular open-source messaging system, Confluent (NASDAQ: CFLT) provides a data infrastructure platform that enables organizations to connect their applications, systems, and data layers around real-time data streams.

Why Could CFLT Be a Winner?

  1. Winning new contracts that can potentially increase in value as its billings growth has averaged 32.6% over the last year
  2. Projected revenue growth of 16.3% for the next 12 months suggests its momentum from the last three years will persist
  3. Free cash flow margin is forecasted to grow by 5.6 percentage points in the coming year, potentially giving the company more chips to play with

Confluent’s stock price of $17.88 implies a valuation ratio of 4.9x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
