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 to Target This Week and 2 Facing Challenges

CWH Cover Image

Not all profitable companies are built to last - some rely on outdated models or unsustainable advantages. Just because a business is in the green today doesn’t mean it will thrive tomorrow.

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 struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Camping World (CWH)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 3.2%

Founded in 1966 as a single recreational vehicle (RV) dealership, Camping World (NYSE: CWH) still sells RVs along with boats and general merchandise for outdoor activities.

Why Does CWH Fall Short?

  1. Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand
  2. Earnings per share have dipped by 43.4% annually over the past five years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
  3. 8× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly

Camping World is trading at $17.60 per share, or 17.5x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with CWH, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Cadre (CDRE)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 11%

Originally known as Safariland, Cadre (NYSE: CDRE) specializes in manufacturing and distributing safety and survivability equipment for first responders.

Why Are We Hesitant About CDRE?

  1. Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last five years as its operating margin fell by 1.7 percentage points
  2. Earnings per share were flat over the last four years and fell short of the peer group average
  3. 7 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position

Cadre’s stock price of $32.85 implies a valuation ratio of 22.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering CDRE for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

DXP (DXPE)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 8.7%

Founded during the emergence of Big Oil in Texas, DXP (NASDAQ: DXPE) provides pumps, valves, and other industrial components.

Why Are We Positive On DXPE?

  1. Offerings and unique value proposition resonate with customers, as seen in its above-market 10.4% annual sales growth over the last five years
  2. Operating margin expanded by 5.2 percentage points over the last five years as it scaled and became more efficient
  3. Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 32.6% exceeded its revenue gains over the last two years

At $115.34 per share, DXP trades at 20.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
