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 Volatile Stock to Target This Week and 2 We Avoid

CRM Cover Image

Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.

Navigating these stocks isn’t easy, which is why StockStory helps you find Comfort In Chaos. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock that could reward patient investors and two that might not be worth the risk.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Salesforce (CRM)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.27

With its cloud-based platform named after its stock ticker symbol CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) provides customer relationship management software that helps businesses connect with their customers across sales, service, marketing, and commerce.

Why Is CRM Not Exciting?

  1. Annual sales growth of 10.4% over the last three years lagged behind its software peers as its large revenue base made it difficult to generate incremental demand
  2. Customers were hesitant to make long-term commitments to its software as its 9% average ARR growth over the last year was sluggish
  3. Estimated sales growth of 8.9% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend

At $246.79 per share, Salesforce trades at 5.5x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why CRM doesn’t pass our bar.

Quest Resource (QRHC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.35

Recycling corporate waste to help companies be more sustainable, Quest Resource (NASDAQ: QRHC) is a provider of waste and recycling services.

Why Is QRHC Risky?

  1. Sales tumbled by 2.4% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions
  3. Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders

Quest Resource’s stock price of $1.67 implies a valuation ratio of 6.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering QRHC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Deckers (DECK)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.49

Established in 1973, Deckers (NYSE: DECK) is a footwear and apparel conglomerate with a portfolio of lifestyle and performance brands.

Why Do We Like DECK?

  1. Average constant currency growth of 18% over the past two years demonstrates its ability to grow internationally despite currency fluctuations
  2. Free cash flow margin is forecasted to grow by 2.3 percentage points in the coming year, potentially giving the company more chips to play with
  3. Returns on capital are growing as management capitalizes on its market opportunities

Deckers is trading at $117 per share, or 19.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
