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 Value Stocks Walking a Fine Line

By: StockStory

TGNA Cover Image

Value stocks typically trade at discounts to the broader market, offering patient investors the opportunity to buy businesses when they’re out of favor. The key risk, however, is that these stocks are usually cheap for a reason – five cents for a piece of fruit may seem like a great deal until you find out it’s rotten.

Separating the winners from the value traps is a tough challenge, and that’s where StockStory comes in. Our job is to find you high-quality companies that will stand the test of time. That said, here are three value stocks with little support and some other investments you should consider instead.

TEGNA (TGNA)

Forward P/E Ratio: 11.4x

Spun out of Gannett in 2015, TEGNA (NYSE: TGNA) is a media company operating a network of television stations and digital platforms, focusing on local news and community content.

Why Are We Out on TGNA?

  1. Annual sales declines of 2.5% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market
  2. Sales are expected to decline once again over the next 12 months as it continues working through a challenging demand environment
  3. Capital intensity will likely ramp up in the next year as its free cash flow margin is expected to contract by 4.5 percentage points

At $21.22 per share, TEGNA trades at 11.4x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why TGNA doesn’t pass our bar.

Insteel (IIIN)

Forward P/E Ratio: 14.9x

Growing from a small wire manufacturer to one of the largest in the U.S., Insteel (NYSE: IIIN) provides steel wire reinforcing products for concrete.

Why Do We Think Twice About IIIN?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 7% annually over the last two years
  2. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last two years, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

Insteel’s stock price of $38.52 implies a valuation ratio of 14.9x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with IIIN, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Brink's (BCO)

Forward P/E Ratio: 14x

Known for its iconic armored trucks that have been a fixture in American cities since 1859, Brink's (NYSE: BCO) provides secure transportation and management of cash and valuables for banks, retailers, and other businesses worldwide.

Why Are We Wary of BCO?

  1. Muted 3.5% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its business services peers
  2. Free cash flow margin shrank by 1.1 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
  3. Underwhelming 14% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

Brink's is trading at $111.72 per share, or 14x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than BCO.
