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 with Exciting Potential and 2 We Find Risky

VSH Cover Image

The Russell 2000 (^RUT) is home to many small-cap stocks, offering investors the chance to uncover hidden gems before the broader market catches on. However, these companies often come with higher volatility and risk, as their smaller size makes them more vulnerable to economic downturns.

Navigating this part of the market can be tricky, which is why we built StockStory to help you separate the winners from the laggards. That said, here is one Russell 2000 stock that could be a breakout winner and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Vishay Intertechnology (VSH)

Market Cap: $2.06 billion

Named after the founder's ancestral village in present-day Lithuania, Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE: VSH) manufactures simple chips and electronic components that are building blocks of virtually all types of electronic devices.

Why Do We Pass on VSH?

  1. Sales tumbled by 9.1% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Competitive supply chain dynamics and steep production costs are reflected in its low gross margin of 22.3%
  3. 14.9 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position

Vishay Intertechnology is trading at $15.16 per share, or 82.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than VSH.

Matrix Service (MTRX)

Market Cap: $359.3 million

Founded in Oklahoma, Matrix Service (NASDAQ: MTRX) provides engineering, fabrication, construction, and maintenance services primarily to the energy and industrial markets.

Why Should You Dump MTRX?

  1. Annual sales declines of 6.9% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. High input costs result in an inferior gross margin of 3.9% that must be offset through higher volumes
  3. Issuance of new shares over the last five years caused its earnings per share to fall by 34.8% annually, even worse than its revenue declines

At $12.80 per share, Matrix Service trades at 20.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering MTRX for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Arlo Technologies (ARLO)

Market Cap: $1.79 billion

Originally spun off from networking equipment maker Netgear in 2018, Arlo Technologies (NYSE: ARLO) provides cloud-based smart security devices and subscription services that help consumers and businesses monitor and protect their homes, properties, and loved ones.

Why Do We Like ARLO?

  1. Operating margin improvement of 13.1 percentage points over the last five years demonstrates its ability to scale efficiently
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 434% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin grew by 17.4 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with

Arlo Technologies’s stock price of $17.14 implies a valuation ratio of 25.5x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
