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 Growth Stock to Add to Your Roster and 2 We Brush Off

MPWR Cover Image

Growth boosts valuation multiples, but it doesn’t always last forever. Companies that cannot maintain it are often penalized with large declines in market value, a lesson ingrained in investors who lost money in tech stocks during 2022.

Deciphering which businesses can sustain their high growth rates is a challenge for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory. Keeping that in mind, here is one growth stock where the best is yet to come and two that could be down big.

Two Growth Stocks to Sell:

Tandem Diabetes (TNDM)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +25.8%

With technology that automatically adjusts insulin delivery based on continuous glucose monitoring data, Tandem Diabetes Care (NASDAQ: TNDM) develops and manufactures automated insulin delivery systems that help people with diabetes manage their blood glucose levels.

Why Should You Dump TNDM?

  1. Underwhelming pump shipments over the past two years indicate demand is soft and that the company may need to revise its strategy
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 21% annually
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

Tandem Diabetes is trading at $13.15 per share, or 16.3x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than TNDM.

iRhythm (IRTC)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +22.4%

Pioneering the shift from bulky, short-term heart monitors to sleek, wire-free patches, iRhythm Technologies (NASDAQ: IRTC) provides wearable cardiac monitoring devices and AI-powered analysis services that help physicians detect and diagnose heart rhythm disorders.

Why Does IRTC Give Us Pause?

  1. Modest revenue base of $657.2 million gives it less fixed cost leverage and fewer distribution channels than larger companies
  2. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 15× increases the risk of forced asset sales or dilutive financing if operational performance weakens

At $184.70 per share, iRhythm trades at 85.4x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why IRTC doesn’t pass our bar.

One Growth Stock to Buy:

Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +34.3%

Founded in 1997 by its longtime CEO Michael Hsing, Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ: MPWR) is an analog and mixed signal chipmaker that specializes in power management chips meant to minimize total energy consumption.

Why Are We Backing MPWR?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 29.9% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends, and its improved cash conversion implies it’s becoming a less capital-intensive business
  3. ROIC punches in at 45.9%, illustrating management’s expertise in identifying profitable investments

Monolithic Power Systems’s stock price of $922 implies a valuation ratio of 51.7x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
