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 Stocks Under $50 with Open Questions

YETI Cover Image

Stocks trading between $10 and $50 can be particularly interesting as they frequently represent businesses that have survived their early challenges. However, investors should remain vigilant as some may still have unproven business models, leaving them vulnerable to the ebbs and flows of the broader market.

This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks under $50 to avoid and some other investments you should consider instead.

YETI (YETI)

Share Price: $36.62

Founded by two brothers from Texas, YETI (NYSE: YETI) specializes in durable outdoor goods including coolers, drinkware, and other gear tailored to adventure enthusiasts.

Why Do We Think Twice About YETI?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 6.3% over the last two years was below our standards for the consumer discretionary sector
  2. Projected 6.7 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin next year reflects the company’s plans to increase its investments to defend its market position
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

YETI’s stock price of $36.62 implies a valuation ratio of 16.9x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with YETI, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Werner (WERN)

Share Price: $28.45

Conducting business in over a 100 countries, Werner (NASDAQ: WERN) offers full-truckload, less-than-truckload, and intermodal delivery services.

Why Do We Pass on WERN?

  1. Annual sales declines of 5.7% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Incremental sales over the last five years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 37.2% annually while its revenue grew
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

At $28.45 per share, Werner trades at 36.4x forward P/E. If you’re considering WERN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Premier (PINC)

Share Price: $27

Operating one of the largest healthcare group purchasing organizations in the United States with over 4,350 hospital members, Premier (NASDAQ: PINC) is a technology-driven healthcare improvement company that helps hospitals, health systems, and other providers reduce costs and improve clinical outcomes.

Why Should You Dump PINC?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 12.9% annually over the last two years
  2. Overall productivity fell over the last two years as its plummeting sales were accompanied by a decline in its adjusted operating margin
  3. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, partly because it diluted shareholders

Premier is trading at $27 per share, or 19.3x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why PINC doesn’t pass our bar.
