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 to Consider Right Now and 2 We Find Risky

HUBS Cover Image

Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.

Navigating these stocks isn’t easy, which is why StockStory helps you find Comfort In Chaos. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock with massive upside potential and two that could just as easily collapse.

Two Stocks to Sell:

FARO (FARO)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.54

Launched by two PhD students in a garage, FARO (NASDAQ: FARO) provides 3D measurement and imaging systems for the manufacturing, construction, engineering, and public safety industries.

Why Do We Think Twice About FARO?

  1. Annual sales declines of 1.5% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Poor expense management has led to operating margin losses
  3. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth

FARO is trading at $44 per share, or 39.6x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including FARO in your portfolio.

Credit Acceptance (CACC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.23

Founded in 1972 by Donald Foss to serve customers overlooked by traditional lenders, Credit Acceptance (NASDAQ: CACC) provides auto financing solutions that enable car dealers to sell vehicles to consumers with limited or impaired credit histories.

Why Do We Steer Clear of CACC?

  1. Products and services are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat sales over the last two years
  2. Earnings per share fell by 10% annually over the last two years while its revenue was flat, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. High debt-to-equity ratio of 3.9× shows the firm carries too much debt relative to shareholder equity, increasing bankruptcy risk

Credit Acceptance’s stock price of $506.49 implies a valuation ratio of 11.7x forward P/E. If you’re considering CACC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

HubSpot (HUBS)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.49

Born from the idea that traditional interruptive marketing was becoming less effective, HubSpot (NYSE: HUBS) provides an integrated platform that helps businesses attract, engage, and manage customer relationships through marketing, sales, service, and content management tools.

Why Could HUBS Be a Winner?

  1. Billings have averaged 21.3% growth over the last year, showing it’s securing new contracts that could potentially increase in value over time
  2. Sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months implies the business will stay on its desirable three-year growth trajectory
  3. Software is difficult to replicate at scale and results in a stellar gross margin of 84.6%

At $478 per share, HubSpot trades at 7.5x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
