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 Russell 2000 Stocks That Fall Short

ASUR Cover Image

Small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 (^RUT) can be a goldmine for investors looking beyond the usual large-cap names. But with less stability and fewer resources than their bigger counterparts, these companies face steeper challenges in scaling their businesses.

The high-risk, high-reward nature of the Russell 2000 makes stock selection critical, and we’re here to guide you toward the right ones. Keeping that in mind, here are three Russell 2000 stocks to steer clear of and some alternatives to watch instead.

Asure Software (ASUR)

Market Cap: $222.1 million

Operating in the often-overlooked smaller metropolitan markets where HR expertise can be scarce, Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR) provides cloud-based human capital management software and services that help small and medium-sized businesses manage payroll, taxes, time tracking, and HR compliance.

Why Should You Sell ASUR?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 4.4% over the last two years was well below our standards for the software sector
  2. Customers had second thoughts about committing to its platform over the last year as its average billings growth of 7.1% underwhelmed
  3. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last year, causing its operating margin to decline by 3.2 percentage points

Asure Software is trading at $8.60 per share, or 1.5x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ASUR doesn’t pass our bar.

Cushman & Wakefield (CWK)

Market Cap: $3.91 billion

With expertise in the commercial real estate sector, Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK) is a global Chicago-based real estate firm offering a comprehensive range of services to clients.

Why Do We Steer Clear of CWK?

  1. Sales were flat over the last two years, indicating it’s failed to expand its business
  2. Incremental sales over the last five years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 4.3% annually while its revenue grew
  3. Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of 1.9% for the last two years

At $16.87 per share, Cushman & Wakefield trades at 14.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than CWK.

Scorpio Tankers (STNG)

Market Cap: $2.82 billion

Operating one of the youngest fleets in the industry, Scorpio Tankers (NYSE: STNG) is an international provider of marine transportation services, specializing in the shipment of refined petroleum.

Why Is STNG Not Exciting?

  1. Sales tumbled by 1.5% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Performance surrounding its total vessels has lagged its peers
  3. Earnings per share have contracted by 41.5% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance

Scorpio Tankers’s stock price of $59.45 implies a valuation ratio of 9.7x forward P/E. If you’re considering STNG for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
