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.

3 Russell 2000 Stocks That Fall Short

GCO 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.

Picking the right small caps isn’t easy, and that’s exactly why StockStory exists - to help you focus on the best opportunities. Keeping that in mind, here are three Russell 2000 stocks to avoid and better alternatives to consider.

Genesco (GCO)

Market Cap: $307.8 million

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. Disappointing same-store sales over the past two years show customers aren’t responding well to its product selection and in-store experience
  2. Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

Genesco’s stock price of $28.56 implies a valuation ratio of 18.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than GCO.

Rush Street Interactive (RSI)

Market Cap: $2.00 billion

Specializing in online casino gaming and sports betting, Rush Street Interactive (NYSE: RSI) is an operator of digital gaming platforms.

Why Are We Hesitant About RSI?

  1. Poor expense management has led to an operating margin of 2.6% that is below the industry average

At $21 per share, Rush Street Interactive trades at 55.7x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why RSI doesn’t pass our bar.

Kimball Electronics (KE)

Market Cap: $690.9 million

Founded in 1961, Kimball Electronics (NYSE: KE) is a global contract manufacturer specializing in electronics and manufacturing solutions for automotive, medical, and industrial markets.

Why Is KE Risky?

  1. Annual sales declines of 9.7% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Competitive supply chain dynamics and steep production costs are reflected in its low gross margin of 8.1%
  3. Earnings per share have contracted by 29.1% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance

Kimball Electronics is trading at $28.34 per share, or 28.2x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with KE, check out our full research report (it’s free).
