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 Volatile Stock on Our Watchlist and 2 That Underwhelm

AIR Cover Image

Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.

These stocks can be a rollercoaster, and StockStory is here to guide you through the ups and downs. That said, here is one volatile stock that could deliver huge gains and two that might not be worth the risk.

Two Stocks to Sell:

AAR (AIR)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.19

The first third-party MRO approved by the FAA for Safety Management System Requirements, AAR (NYSE: AIR) is a provider of aircraft maintenance services

Why Does AIR Worry Us?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 6.1% over the last five years was below our standards for the industrials sector
  2. Free cash flow margin dropped by 5.6 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
  3. ROIC of 7% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities, and its shrinking returns suggest its past profit sources are losing steam

AAR’s stock price of $75.68 implies a valuation ratio of 16.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than AIR.

Citigroup (C)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.53

With operations in nearly 160 countries and a history dating back to 1812, Citigroup (NYSE: C) is a global financial services company that provides banking, investment, wealth management, and payment solutions to consumers, corporations, and governments.

Why Are We Cautious About C?

  1. Annual net interest income growth of 5.3% over the last five years lagged behind its banking peers as its large revenue base made it difficult to generate incremental demand
  2. Demand is forecasted to shrink as its estimated net interest income for the next 12 months is flat
  3. Weak unit economics are reflected in its net interest margin of 2.4%, one of the worst among bank companies

Citigroup is trading at $95.15 per share, or 0.9x forward P/B. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why C doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Watch:

Warby Parker (WRBY)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.34

Founded in 2010, Warby Parker (NYSE: WRBY) designs, manufactures, and sells eyewear, including prescription glasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses, through its e-commerce platform and physical retail locations.

Why Are We Positive On WRBY?

  1. Rapidly increasing store base reflects a desire to sell in new markets and scale quickly
  2. Differentiated product assortment is reflected in its best-in-class gross margin of 54.9%
  3. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last three years as its EPS has compounded at 68.5% annually

At $25.26 per share, Warby Parker trades at 71.3x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
