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 Cash-Producing Stocks We Find Risky

SBGI Cover Image

Generating cash is essential for any business, but not all cash-rich companies are great investments. Some produce plenty of cash but fail to allocate it effectively, leading to missed opportunities.

Luckily for you, we built StockStory to help you separate the good from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are three cash-producing companies to steer clear of and a few better alternatives.

Sinclair (SBGI)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 12.3%

With over 2,400 hours of local news produced weekly and 640 broadcast channels reaching millions of American homes, Sinclair (NASDAQ: SBGI) operates a network of 185 local television stations across 86 U.S. markets, producing news programming and distributing content from major networks.

Why Do We Think SBGI Will Underperform?

  1. Sales tumbled by 9.2% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 8.2 percentage points

Sinclair is trading at $14.40 per share, or 1.9x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than SBGI.

AdaptHealth (AHCO)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 7.1%

With a network of approximately 680 locations serving patients across all 50 states, AdaptHealth (NASDAQ: AHCO) provides home medical equipment, supplies, and related services to patients with chronic conditions like sleep apnea, diabetes, and respiratory disorders.

Why Does AHCO Fall Short?

  1. 2.7% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its healthcare peers
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 1.1% annually
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

At $9.49 per share, AdaptHealth trades at 7.8x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with AHCO, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Crane NXT (CXT)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 11.1%

Born from a corporate transformation completed in 2023, Crane NXT (NYSE: CXT) provides specialized technology solutions for payment processing, banknote security, and authentication systems for financial institutions and businesses.

Why Do We Think Twice About CXT?

  1. Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 15% annually while its revenue grew
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 12 percentage points over the last four years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

Crane NXT’s stock price of $59.73 implies a valuation ratio of 12.8x forward P/E. If you’re considering CXT for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
