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 Profitable Stock with Exciting Potential and 2 We Ignore

MTSI Cover Image

While profitability is essential, it doesn’t guarantee long-term success. Some companies that rest on their margins will lose ground as competition intensifies - as Jeff Bezos said, "Your margin is my opportunity".

Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. That said, here is one profitable company that leverages its financial strength to beat the competition and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Herbalife (HLF)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 9.9%

With the first products sold out of the trunk of the founder’s car, Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) today offers a portfolio of shakes, supplements, personal care products, and weight management programs to help customers reach their nutritional and fitness goals.

Why Are We Hesitant About HLF?

  1. Falling unit sales over the past two years indicate demand is soft and that the company may need to revise its product strategy
  2. Anticipated sales growth of 3.6% for the next year implies demand will be shaky
  3. Issuance of new shares over the last three years caused its earnings per share to fall by 17.3% annually, even worse than its revenue declines

Herbalife is trading at $9.21 per share, or 4.3x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why HLF doesn’t pass our bar.

Mister Car Wash (MCW)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 18.3%

Formerly known as Hotshine Holdings, Mister Car Wash (NYSE: MCW) offers car washes across the United States through its conveyorized service.

Why Do We Pass on MCW?

  1. Disappointing same-store sales over the past two years show customers aren’t responding well to its product selection and in-store experience
  2. Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Mister Car Wash’s stock price of $5.37 implies a valuation ratio of 11.5x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including MCW in your portfolio.

One Stock to Watch:

MACOM (MTSI)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 13%

Founded in the 1950s as Microwave Associates, a communications supplier to the US Army Signal Corp, today MACOM Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: MTSI) is a provider of analog chips used in optical, wireless, and satellite networks.

Why Are We Positive On MTSI?

  1. Impressive 15.8% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Projected revenue growth of 18.4% for the next 12 months is above its two-year trend, pointing to accelerating demand
  3. Earnings per share grew by 41.3% annually over the last five years, massively outpacing its peers

At $131.18 per share, MACOM trades at 33.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
