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 Cash-Burning Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 Facing Headwinds

PENN Cover Image

Rapid spending isn’t always a sign of progress. Some cash-burning businesses fail to convert investments into meaningful competitive advantages, leaving them vulnerable.

Not all companies are worth the risk, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you spot the red flags. Keeping that in mind, here is one high-risk, high-reward company with the potential to scale into a market leader and two that may struggle to stay afloat.

Two Stocks to Sell:

PENN Entertainment (PENN)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -2.1%

Established in 1982, PENN Entertainment (NASDAQ: PENN) is a diversified American operator of casinos, sports betting, and entertainment venues.

Why Do We Steer Clear of PENN?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 1.4% over the last two years was below our standards for the consumer discretionary sector
  2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

PENN Entertainment’s stock price of $19.10 implies a valuation ratio of 19.6x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why PENN doesn’t pass our bar.

agilon health (AGL)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -1.2%

Transforming how doctors care for seniors by shifting financial incentives from volume to outcomes, agilon health (NYSE: AGL) provides a platform that helps primary care physicians transition to value-based care models for Medicare patients through long-term partnerships and global capitation arrangements.

Why Are We Cautious About AGL?

  1. Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last two years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 3.9 percentage points
  2. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments
  3. Negative returns on capital show management lost money while trying to expand the business

agilon health is trading at $1.23 per share, or 0.1x forward price-to-sales. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than AGL.

One Stock to Buy:

FTAI Aviation (FTAI)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: -64%

With a focus on the CFM56 engine that powers Boeing and Airbus’s planes, FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ: FTAI) sells, leases, maintains, and repairs aircraft engines.

Why Do We Love FTAI?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 41.4% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 67% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Cash burn has decreased over the last five years, showing the company is becoming a more self-sustaining business

At $144.55 per share, FTAI Aviation trades at 26.9x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
