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.

2 Consumer Stocks with Exciting Potential and 1 We Find Risky

VITL Cover Image

Consumer staples are considered safe havens in turbulent markets due to their inelastic demand profiles. The flip side is that they frequently fall behind growth industries when times are good, and this perception became a reality over the past six months as the sector was down 2.2% while the S&P 500 was up 16.5%.

The elite companies can churn out earnings growth under any circumstance, however, and our mission at StockStory is to help you find them. Keeping that in mind, here are two resilient consumer stocks we’ve added to our cart and one best left ignored.

One Consumer Staples Stock to Sell:

USANA (USNA)

Market Cap: $546.5 million

Going to market with a direct selling model rather than through traditional retailers, USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA) manufactures and sells nutritional, personal care, and skincare products.

Why Does USNA Worry Us?

  1. Annual revenue declines of 5.9% over the last three years indicate problems with its market positioning
  2. Modest revenue base of $899.2 million gives it less fixed cost leverage and fewer distribution channels than larger companies
  3. Sales were less profitable over the last three years as its earnings per share fell by 16.2% annually, worse than its revenue declines

USANA is trading at $29.91 per share, or 10.3x forward P/E. If you’re considering USNA for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Consumer Staples Stocks to Watch:

Vital Farms (VITL)

Market Cap: $2.10 billion

With an emphasis on ethically produced products, Vital Farms (NASDAQ: VITL) specializes in pasture-raised eggs and butter.

Why Is VITL a Top Pick?

  1. Products are flying off the shelves as its unit sales averaged 20.1% growth over the past two years
  2. Projected revenue growth of 31.3% for the next 12 months is above its three-year trend, pointing to accelerating demand
  3. Earnings per share grew by 109% annually over the last three years, massively outpacing its peers

Vital Farms’s stock price of $47.95 implies a valuation ratio of 33.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

Vita Coco (COCO)

Market Cap: $2.26 billion

Founded in 2004 followed by a 2021 IPO, The Vita Coco Company (NASDAQ: COCO) offers coconut water products that are a natural way to quench thirst.

Why Does COCO Catch Our Eye?

  1. Products are seeing elevated demand as its unit sales averaged 7.8% growth over the past two years
  2. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last three years as its EPS has compounded at 195% annually
  3. Market-beating returns on capital illustrate that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures, and its returns are climbing as it finds even more attractive growth opportunities

At $40.71 per share, Vita Coco trades at 30.7x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
