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 Internet Stocks We Approach with Caution

REAL Cover Image

Whether it be online shopping or social media, secular forces are propelling consumer internet businesses forward. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows as consumer purchasing power can make or break demand. This unpredictability is weighing on returns as the industry has posted a flat return over the past six months while the S&P 500 was up 3.3%.

Investors should tread carefully as only a handful of companies in this space are positioned for long-term success due to the intense competition. With that said, here are three internet stocks best left ignored.

The RealReal (REAL)

Market Cap: $592.6 million

Founded by consignment store aficionado Julie Wainwright, The RealReal (NASDAQ: REAL) is an online marketplace for buying and selling secondhand luxury goods.

Why Are We Cautious About REAL?

  1. Preference for prioritizing user growth over monetization has led to 5.5% annual drops in its average revenue per user
  2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

The RealReal’s stock price of $5.32 implies a valuation ratio of 21x forward EV/EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including REAL in your portfolio.

Take-Two (TTWO)

Market Cap: $40.69 billion

Best known for its Grand Theft Auto and NBA 2K franchises, Take Two (NASDAQ: TTWO) is one of the world’s largest video game publishers.

Why Do We Think Twice About TTWO?

  1. Efficiency fell over the last few years as its EBITDA margin declined by 8.3 percentage points because it pursued growth instead of profits
  2. Incremental sales over the last three years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 108% annually while its revenue grew
  3. Long-term business health is up for debate as its cash burn has increased over the last few years

Take-Two is trading at $222.36 per share, or 18.6x forward EV/EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why TTWO doesn’t pass our bar.

Expedia (EXPE)

Market Cap: $22.64 billion

Originally founded as a part of Microsoft, Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE) is one of the world’s leading online travel agencies.

Why Are We Hesitant About EXPE?

  1. Customer spending has dipped by 1.8% on average as it focused on growing its bookings
  2. Highly competitive market means it’s on the never-ending treadmill of sales and marketing spend
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 23.4 percentage points over the last few years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

At $178.10 per share, Expedia trades at 7.2x forward EV/EBITDA. If you’re considering EXPE for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
