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 Impressive Fundamentals and 2 Facing Headwinds

RRR Cover Image

Investors looking for hidden gems should keep an eye on small-cap stocks because they’re frequently overlooked by Wall Street. Many opportunities exist in this part of the market, but it is also a high-risk, high-reward environment due to the lack of reliable analyst price targets.

These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here is one small-cap stock that could amplify your portfolio’s returns and two best left ignored.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Sell:

Red Rock Resorts (RRR)

Market Cap: $3.60 billion

Founded in 1976, Red Rock Resorts (NASDAQ: RRR) operates a range of casino resorts and entertainment properties, primarily in the Las Vegas metropolitan area.

Why Do We Think Twice About RRR?

  1. 7.1% annual revenue growth over the last five years was slower than its consumer discretionary peers
  2. Estimated sales growth of 1.7% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

At $61.34 per share, Red Rock Resorts trades at 36.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including RRR in your portfolio.

Republic Bancorp (RBCAA)

Market Cap: $1.48 billion

With roots dating back to 1974 and operating across multiple states including Kentucky, Indiana, Florida, Ohio, and Tennessee, Republic Bancorp (NASDAQGS:RBCA.A) is a Kentucky-based financial holding company that operates a bank offering traditional banking, mortgage services, and specialized financial products.

Why Does RBCAA Give Us Pause?

  1. Estimated net interest income growth of 2% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its five-year trend
  2. Capital trends were unexciting over the last two years as its 10% annual tangible book value per share growth was below the typical banking firm
  3. Estimated tangible book value per share growth of 7.3% for the next 12 months implies profitability will slow from its two-year trend

Republic Bancorp’s stock price of $75.85 implies a valuation ratio of 1.3x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than RBCAA.

One Small-Cap Stock to Buy:

Coastal Financial (CCB)

Market Cap: $1.65 billion

Pioneering the intersection of traditional banking and financial technology in the Pacific Northwest, Coastal Financial (NASDAQ: CCB) operates as a bank holding company that provides traditional banking services and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) solutions to consumers and businesses.

Why Is CCB a Top Pick?

  1. Annual net interest income growth of 43.2% over the last five years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Anticipated efficiency ratio improvement of -9.1 percentage points over the next year signals it will gain leverage on its fixed costs and become more productive
  3. Earnings per share grew by 24% annually over the last five years and trumped its peers

Coastal Financial is trading at $109.10 per share, or 3.3x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
