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 Momentum Stock on Our Watchlist and 2 We Brush Off

VSEC Cover Image

The stocks featured in this article have all approached their 52-week highs. When these price levels hit, it typically signals strong business execution, positive market sentiment, or significant industry tailwinds.

But not every company with momentum is a long-term winner, and plenty of investors have lost money betting on short-term fads. On that note, here is one stock we think lives up to the hype and two not so much.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Sphere Entertainment (SPHR)

One-Month Return: +41.3%

Famous for its viral Las Vegas Sphere venue, Sphere Entertainment (NYSE: SPHR) hosts live entertainment events and distributes content across various media platforms.

Why Is SPHR Risky?

  1. 7.6% annual revenue growth over the last five years was slower than its consumer discretionary peers
  2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

Sphere Entertainment is trading at $59.98 per share, or 13.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SPHR in your portfolio.

Applied Digital (APLD)

One-Month Return: +27.9%

Pivoting from its origins in cryptocurrency mining to become a key player in the AI infrastructure boom, Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) designs and operates specialized data centers that provide high-performance computing infrastructure for artificial intelligence and blockchain applications.

Why Is APLD Not Exciting?

  1. Revenue growth over the past two years was nullified by the company’s new share issuances as its earnings per share fell by 78.9% annually
  2. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Applied Digital’s stock price of $20.52 implies a valuation ratio of 51.2x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering APLD for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

VSE Corporation (VSEC)

One-Month Return: -1.8%

With roots dating back to 1959 and a strategic focus on extending the life of transportation assets, VSE Corporation (NASDAQ: VSEC) provides aftermarket parts distribution and maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for aircraft and vehicle fleets in commercial and government markets.

Why Is VSEC Interesting?

  1. Impressive 22.5% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Operating profits increased over the last five years as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
  3. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were more profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 14.2% outpaced its revenue gains

At $163.99 per share, VSE Corporation trades at 41.3x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
