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 Russell 2000 Stocks with Competitive Advantages and 1 We Avoid

SWBI 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 two Russell 2000 stocks that could be the next breakout winners and one that may struggle to keep up.

One Stock to Sell:

Smith & Wesson (SWBI)

Market Cap: $362 million

With a history dating back to 1852, Smith & Wesson (NASDAQ: SWBI) is a firearms manufacturer known for its handguns and rifles.

Why Are We Out on SWBI?

  1. Products and services have few die-hard fans as sales have declined by 2.2% annually over the last five years
  2. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments

At $8.19 per share, Smith & Wesson trades at 18.2x forward P/E. If you’re considering SWBI for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Granite Construction (GVA)

Market Cap: $4.72 billion

Having played a role in the construction of the Hoover Dam, Granite Construction (NYSE: GVA) is a provider of infrastructure solutions for roads, bridges, and other projects.

Why Are We Fans of GVA?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 11.9% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 42% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments

Granite Construction’s stock price of $107.75 implies a valuation ratio of 17.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Market Cap: $1.95 billion

Originally founded as a financial media company before pivoting to ETF management in 2006, WisdomTree (NYSE: WT) is a financial services company that creates and manages exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other investment products for individual and institutional investors.

Why Are We Backing WT?

  1. Impressive 18.6% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 62.9% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Stellar return on equity showcases management’s ability to surface highly profitable business ventures
