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 Russell 2000 Stocks with Competitive Advantages and 1 Facing Headwinds

URBN Cover Image

The Russell 2000 (^RUT) is home to many small-cap stocks, offering investors the chance to uncover hidden gems before the broader market catches on. However, these companies often come with higher volatility and risk, as their smaller size makes them more vulnerable to economic downturns.

The high-risk, high-reward nature of the Russell 2000 makes stock selection critical, and we’re here to guide you toward the right ones. That said, here are two Russell 2000 stocks that could deliver strong gains and one best left off your watchlist.

One Stock to Sell:

Inspired (INSE)

Market Cap: $225.9 million

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

Why Are We Cautious About INSE?

  1. 1.1% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its consumer discretionary peers
  2. Projected sales are flat for the next 12 months, implying demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Poor free cash flow margin of 1.8% for the last two years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends

Inspired’s stock price of $8.39 implies a valuation ratio of 2.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including INSE in your portfolio.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Urban Outfitters (URBN)

Market Cap: $6.58 billion

Founded as a purveyor of vintage items, Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: URBN) now largely sells new apparel and accessories to teens and young adults seeking on-trend fashion.

Why Are We Positive On URBN?

  1. Same-store sales growth averaged 4.2% over the past two years, showing it’s bringing new and repeat shoppers into its stores
  2. Demand will likely accelerate over the next 12 months as its forecasted revenue growth of 8.1% is above its six-year trend
  3. Earnings per share grew by 46.7% annually over the last five years and trumped its peers

Urban Outfitters is trading at $72.86 per share, or 16.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Graham Corporation (GHM)

Market Cap: $527 million

Founded when its founder patented a unique design for a vacuum system used in the sugar refining process, Graham (NYSE: GHM) provides vacuum and heat transfer equipment for the energy, petrochemical, refining, and chemical sectors.

Why Will GHM Beat the Market?

  1. Sales pipeline is in good shape as its backlog averaged 21.7% growth over the past two years
  2. Operating margin expanded by 4.4 percentage points over the last five years as it scaled and became more efficient
  3. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 145% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue

At $48.01 per share, Graham Corporation trades at 27.6x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
