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 Volatile Stocks with Open Questions

UPLD Cover Image

Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.

Navigating these stocks isn’t easy, which is why StockStory helps you find Comfort In Chaos. That said, here are three volatile stocks to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Upland Software (UPLD)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.80

Operating under the mantra "land and expand," Upland Software (NASDAQ: UPLD) provides cloud-based applications that help organizations manage projects, workflows, and digital transformation across various business functions.

Why Does UPLD Fall Short?

  1. Software offerings aren’t resonating in this new AI paradigm as its revenue declined by 6.8% annually over the last three years
  2. Forecasted revenue decline of 19.2% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall even further
  3. Poor expense management has led to operating margin losses

Upland Software’s stock price of $2.47 implies a valuation ratio of 0.3x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why UPLD doesn’t pass our bar.

Kimball Electronics (KE)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.43

Founded in 1961, Kimball Electronics (NYSE: KE) is a global contract manufacturer specializing in electronics and manufacturing solutions for automotive, medical, and industrial markets.

Why Should You Sell KE?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 9.7% annually over the last two years
  2. Competitive supply chain dynamics and steep production costs are reflected in its low gross margin of 8.1%
  3. Earnings per share have dipped by 29.1% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term

At $30 per share, Kimball Electronics trades at 30.4x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than KE.

Lucid (LCID)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.06

Founded by a former Tesla Vice President, Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) designs, manufactures, and sells luxury electric vehicles with long-range capabilities.

Why Does LCID Give Us Pause?

  1. Negative 155% gross margin means it loses money on every sale and must pivot or scale quickly to survive
  2. Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Lucid is trading at $19.29 per share, or 29.9x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including LCID in your portfolio.
