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 Walking a Fine Line

RDW 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 that don’t make the cut and some better choices instead.

Redwire (RDW)

Market Cap: $1.33 billion

Based in Jacksonville, Florida, Redwire (NYSE: RDW) is a provider of systems and components used in space infrastructure.

Why Do We Pass on RDW?

  1. Historically negative EPS raises concerns for risk-averse investors and makes its earnings potential harder to gauge
  2. Free cash flow margin shrank by 27.3 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

Redwire is trading at $9.26 per share, or 10.4x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including RDW in your portfolio.

Integral Ad Science (IAS)

Market Cap: $1.52 billion

Processing over 280 billion digital ad interactions daily through its AI-powered technology, Integral Ad Science (NASDAQ: IAS) provides a cloud-based platform that measures and verifies digital advertising across devices, channels, and formats to ensure ads are viewable, fraud-free, and brand-safe.

Why Are We Wary of IAS?

  1. Revenue increased by 15.4% annually over the last three years, acceptable on an absolute basis but tepid for a software company enjoying secular tailwinds
  2. Free cash flow margin is forecasted to shrink by 6.7 percentage points in the coming year, suggesting the company will consume more capital to keep up with its competitors

At $9.19 per share, Integral Ad Science trades at 2.4x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why IAS doesn’t pass our bar.

Vimeo (VMEO)

Market Cap: $702.6 million

Originally launched in 2004 as a platform for filmmakers seeking a high-quality alternative to YouTube, Vimeo (NASDAQ: VMEO) provides cloud-based video creation, editing, hosting, and distribution software that helps businesses and creators make, manage, and share professional-quality videos.

Why Does VMEO Worry Us?

  1. Sales stagnated over the last two years and signal the need for new growth strategies
  2. Smaller revenue base of $415.4 million means it hasn’t achieved the economies of scale that some industry juggernauts enjoy
  3. Push for growth has led to negative returns on capital, signaling value destruction

Vimeo’s stock price of $4.25 implies a valuation ratio of 22.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with VMEO, check out our full research report (it’s free).
