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.

2 Small-Cap Stocks with Competitive Advantages and 1 We Brush Off

LZ Cover Image

Many small-cap stocks have limited Wall Street coverage, giving savvy investors the chance to act before everyone else catches on. But the flip side is that these businesses have increased downside risk because they lack the scale and staying power of their larger competitors.

The downside that can come from buying these securities is precisely why we started StockStory - to isolate the long-term winners from the losers so you can invest with confidence. Keeping that in mind, here are two small-cap stocks that could be the next big thing and one that may have trouble.

One Small-Cap Stock to Sell:

Camping World (CWH)

Market Cap: $1.09 billion

Founded in 1966 as a single recreational vehicle (RV) dealership, Camping World (NYSE: CWH) still sells RVs along with boats and general merchandise for outdoor activities.

Why Are We Wary of CWH?

  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. Falling earnings per share over the last five years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. 8× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio makes lenders less willing to extend additional capital, potentially necessitating dilutive equity offerings

Camping World’s stock price of $17.47 implies a valuation ratio of 17.6x forward P/E. If you’re considering CWH for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Watch:

LegalZoom (LZ)

Market Cap: $1.99 billion

Founded by famous lawyer Robert Shapiro, LegalZoom (NASDAQ: LZ) offers online legal services and documentation assistance for individuals and businesses.

Why Could LZ Be a Winner?

  1. Has the opportunity to boost monetization through new features and premium offerings as its subscription units have grown by 11.7% annually over the last two years
  2. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 177%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last three years
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 14.9 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

LegalZoom is trading at $10.67 per share, or 11.2x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

First Financial Bankshares (FFIN)

Market Cap: $5.35 billion

With roots dating back to 1890 and a network spanning over 70 locations across the Lone Star State, First Financial Bankshares (NASDAQ: FFIN) is a Texas-focused regional bank providing commercial banking, trust services, and wealth management across numerous communities throughout the state.

Why Is FFIN Interesting?

  1. Solid 7.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates its offering’s solve complex business issues
  2. Net interest margin jumped by 34.7 basis points (100 basis points = 1 percentage point) over the last two years, giving the firm more resources to pursue growth initiatives
  3. Earnings per share grew by 5.3% annually over the last two years, massively outpacing its peers

At $37.63 per share, First Financial Bankshares trades at 3x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
