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 Industrials Stock to Target This Week and 2 We Find Risky

AMSC Cover Image

Whether you see them or not, industrials businesses play a crucial part in our daily activities. Their momentum is also rising as lower interest rates have incentivized higher capital spending. As a result, the industry has posted a 18.1% gain over the past six months, beating the S&P 500 by 8.9 percentage points.

Nevertheless, investors must be mindful as the cycle can unexpectedly turn. When this inevitably happens, only the elite companies will survive and ultimately thrive. Keeping that in mind, here is one resilient industrials stock at the top of our wish list and two that may face trouble.

Two Industrials Stocks to Sell:

FARO (FARO)

Market Cap: $849.7 million

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 Are We Cautious About FARO?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 1.5% annually over the last five years
  2. Poor expense management has led to operating margin losses
  3. Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model

FARO’s stock price of $44 implies a valuation ratio of 39.6x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including FARO in your portfolio.

BrightView (BV)

Market Cap: $1.38 billion

An official field consultant for Major League Baseball, BrightView (NYSE: BV) offers landscaping design, development, and maintenance.

Why Do We Steer Clear of BV?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 1.7% annually over the last two years
  2. Earnings per share have contracted by 2.5% annually over the last five years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
  3. Free cash flow margin shrank by 5.1 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

At $14.55 per share, BrightView trades at 16.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than BV.

One Industrials Stock to Buy:

American Superconductor (AMSC)

Market Cap: $2.43 billion

Founded in 1987, American Superconductor (NASDAQ: AMSC) has shifted from superconductor research to developing power systems, adapting to changing energy grid needs and naval technology requirements.

Why Is AMSC a Top Pick?

  1. Impressive 49.8% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Free cash flow profile has moved into positive territory over the last five years, indicating the company has passed a significant test
  3. Historical investments are beginning to pay off as its returns on capital are growing

American Superconductor is trading at $53.80 per share, or 94.5x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
