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 with Promising Prospects and 2 We Avoid

CVLT Cover Image

A highly volatile stock can deliver big gains - or just as easily wipe out a portfolio if things go south. While some investors embrace risk, mistakes can be costly for those who aren’t prepared.

These stocks can be a rollercoaster, and StockStory is here to guide you through the ups and downs. That said, here is one volatile stock with massive upside potential and two that could just as easily collapse.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Valmont (VMI)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.09

Credited with an invention in the 1950s that improved crop yields, Valmont (NYSE: VMI) provides engineered products and infrastructure services for the agricultural industry.

Why Are We Hesitant About VMI?

  1. Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
  2. Demand will likely be soft over the next 12 months as Wall Street’s estimates imply tepid growth of 2.9%
  3. Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last two years as its EPS grew by just 6.8% annually

At $377 per share, Valmont trades at 23.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than VMI.

Resideo (REZI)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.45

Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: REZI) is a manufacturer and distributor of technology-driven products and solutions for home comfort, energy management, water management, and safety and security.

Why Does REZI Give Us Pause?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 2.4% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  2. Poor free cash flow margin of 3.9% for the last five years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Resideo’s stock price of $34.72 implies a valuation ratio of 12.4x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including REZI in your portfolio.

One Stock to Watch:

Commvault (CVLT)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.30

Born from the need to create ironclad protection in an increasingly dangerous digital world, Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT) provides data protection and cyber resilience software that helps organizations secure, back up, and recover their data across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

Why Do We Like CVLT?

  1. Billings have averaged 26.5% growth over the last year, showing it’s securing new contracts that could potentially increase in value over time
  2. Prominent and differentiated software culminates in a premier gross margin of 82%
  3. Excellent operating margin of 7.6% highlights the efficiency of its business model

Commvault is trading at $176.76 per share, or 6.7x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
