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 Russell 2000 Stock for Long-Term Investors and 2 Facing Headwinds

QTWO Cover Image

The Russell 2000 (^RUT) is packed with potential breakout stocks, thanks to its focus on smaller companies with high growth potential. However, smaller size also means these businesses often lack the resilience and financial flexibility of large-cap firms, making careful selection crucial.

Navigating this part of the market can be tricky, which is why we built StockStory to help you separate the winners from the laggards. Keeping that in mind, here is one Russell 2000 stock that could be a breakout winner and two best left off your watchlist.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Q2 Holdings (QTWO)

Market Cap: $4.79 billion

With a platform powering digital services for approximately 25 million account holders across America, Q2 Holdings (NYSE: QTWO) provides cloud-based digital solutions that help financial institutions, fintechs, and alternative finance companies deliver modern banking experiences to their customers.

Why Are We Cautious About QTWO?

  1. Average ARR growth of 12% over the last year has disappointed, suggesting it’s had a hard time winning long-term deals and renewals
  2. Sky-high servicing costs result in an inferior gross margin of 52.6% that must be offset through increased usage
  3. Capital intensity will likely ramp up in the next year as its free cash flow margin is expected to contract by 3.3 percentage points

Q2 Holdings is trading at $76 per share, or 6.5x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including QTWO in your portfolio.

Lovesac (LOVE)

Market Cap: $259.3 million

Known for its oversized, premium beanbags, Lovesac (NASDAQ: LOVE) is a specialty furniture brand selling modular furniture.

Why Is LOVE Not Exciting?

  1. Muted 1.6% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer discretionary peers
  2. Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of 0.6% for the last two years
  3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

Lovesac’s stock price of $17.73 implies a valuation ratio of 22.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering LOVE for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Buy:

Cal-Maine (CALM)

Market Cap: $4.70 billion

Known for brands such as Egg-Land’s Best and Land O’ Lakes, Cal-Maine (NASDAQ: CALM) produces, packages, and distributes eggs.

Why Are We Backing CALM?

  1. Impressive 33.9% annual revenue growth over the last three years indicates it’s winning market share
  2. Incremental sales over the last three years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 110% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 20.8% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently, and its recently improved profitability means it has even more resources to invest or distribute

At $97.80 per share, Cal-Maine trades at 6.9x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
