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 Stock Under $50 with Competitive Advantages and 2 We Ignore

LYFT Cover Image

The $10-50 price range often includes mid-sized businesses with proven track records and plenty of growth runway ahead. They also usually carry less risk than penny stocks, though they’re not immune to volatility as many lack the scale advantages of their larger peers.

These dynamics can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. That said, here is one stock under $50 that could 10x and two that may have trouble.

Two Stocks Under $50 to Sell:

Victoria's Secret (VSCO)

Share Price: $21.34

Spun off from L Brands in 2020, Victoria’s Secret (NYSE: VSCO) is an intimate clothing and beauty retailer that sells its own brands of lingerie, undergarments, and personal fragrances.

Why Do We Steer Clear of VSCO?

  1. Weak same-store sales trends over the past two years suggest there may be few opportunities in its core markets to open new locations
  2. Responsiveness to unforeseen market trends is restricted due to its substandard operating margin profitability
  3. Earnings per share have dipped by 25.8% annually over the past three years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term

Victoria's Secret’s stock price of $21.34 implies a valuation ratio of 9.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering VSCO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Genesco (GCO)

Share Price: $27

Spanning a broad range of styles, brands, and prices, Genesco (NYSE: GCO) sells footwear, apparel, and accessories through multiple brands and banners.

Why Do We Pass on GCO?

  1. Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand
  2. Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Genesco is trading at $27 per share, or 17.1x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including GCO in your portfolio.

One Stock Under $50 to Watch:

Lyft (LYFT)

Share Price: $15.81

Founded by Logan Green and John Zimmer as a long-distance intercity carpooling company Zimride, Lyft (NASDAQ: LYFT) operates a ridesharing network in the US and Canada.

Why Could LYFT Be a Winner?

  1. Active Riders have grown by 10.3% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
  2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 39.2% over the last three years outstripped its revenue performance
  3. Free cash flow margin grew by 23.7 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more chips to play with

At $15.81 per share, Lyft trades at 11.8x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
