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 Small-Cap Stock with Exciting Potential and 2 We Brush Off

WING Cover Image

Small-cap stocks can be incredibly lucrative investments because their lack of analyst coverage leads to frequent mispricings. However, these businesses (and their stock prices) often stay small because their subscale operations make it harder to expand their competitive moats.

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. That said, here is one small-cap stock that could be the next big thing and two that could be down big.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Sell:

Reynolds (REYN)

Market Cap: $4.66 billion

Best known for its aluminum foil, Reynolds (NASDAQ: REYN) is a household products company whose products focus on food storage, cooking, and waste.

Why Do We Think REYN Will Underperform?

  1. Declining unit sales over the past two years suggest it might have to lower prices to stimulate growth
  2. Demand will likely be weak over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
  3. 5.8 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last year reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position

At $22.17 per share, Reynolds trades at 13.7x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than REYN.

VF Corp (VFC)

Market Cap: $4.71 billion

Owner of The North Face, Vans, and Supreme, VF Corp (NYSE: VFC) is a clothing conglomerate specializing in branded lifestyle apparel, footwear, and accessories.

Why Are We Out on VFC?

  1. Constant currency growth was below our standards over the past two years, suggesting it might need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
  2. Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate

VF Corp’s stock price of $12.10 implies a valuation ratio of 13.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including VFC in your portfolio.

One Small-Cap Stock to Buy:

Wingstop (WING)

Market Cap: $9.45 billion

The passion project of two chicken wing aficionados in Texas, Wingstop (NASDAQ: WING) is a popular fast-food chain known for its flavorful and crispy chicken wings offered in a variety of sauces and seasonings.

Why Is WING a Top Pick?

  1. Offensive push to build new restaurants and attack its untapped market opportunities is backed by its same-store sales growth
  2. Average same-store sales growth of 14.6% over the past two years indicates its restaurants are resonating with diners
  3. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong two-year operating margin of 25.5%

Wingstop is trading at $338.10 per share, or 78.2x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
