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 Small-Cap Stock with Promising Prospects and 2 That Underwhelm

EYE Cover Image

Investors looking for hidden gems should keep an eye on small-cap stocks because they’re frequently overlooked by Wall Street. Many opportunities exist in this part of the market, but it is also a high-risk, high-reward environment due to the lack of reliable analyst price targets.

The downside that can come from buying these securities is precisely why we started StockStory - to isolate the long-term winners from the losers so you can invest with confidence. That said, here is one small-cap stock that could amplify your portfolio’s returns and two that could be down big.

Two Small-Cap Stocks to Sell:

National Vision (EYE)

Market Cap: $2.32 billion

Operating under multiple brands, National Vision (NYSE: EYE) sells optical products such as eyeglasses and provides optical services such as eye exams.

Why Does EYE Fall Short?

  1. Store closures are a headwind for growth and suggest it’s rightsizing operations to optimize sales at existing locations
  2. Operating margin of 0.6% falls short of the industry average, and the smaller profit dollars make it harder to react to unexpected market developments
  3. Low returns on capital reflect management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively, and its shrinking returns suggest its past profit sources are losing steam

National Vision’s stock price of $29.40 implies a valuation ratio of 36.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than EYE.

SiteOne (SITE)

Market Cap: $5.70 billion

Known for distributing John Deere tractors and LESCO turf care products, SiteOne Landscape Supply (NYSE: SITE) provides landscaping products and services to professionals, including irrigation, lighting, and nursery supplies.

Why Are We Hesitant About SITE?

  1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 12.2% annually
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

At $127.06 per share, SiteOne trades at 30.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SITE in your portfolio.

One Small-Cap Stock to Watch:

Lantheus (LNTH)

Market Cap: $3.44 billion

Pioneering the "Find, Fight and Follow" approach to disease management, Lantheus Holdings (NASDAQGM:LNTH) develops and commercializes radiopharmaceuticals and other imaging agents that help healthcare professionals detect, diagnose, and treat diseases.

Why Are We Positive On LNTH?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 35.6% over the last five years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Free cash flow margin increased by 22.9 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders
  3. Returns on capital are growing as management capitalizes on its market opportunities

Lantheus is trading at $50.40 per share, or 7.6x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
