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 Cash-Producing Stock to Research Further and 2 We Brush Off

BKNG Cover Image

A company that generates cash isn’t automatically a winner. Some businesses stockpile cash but fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their ability to expand.

Luckily for you, we built StockStory to help you separate the good from the bad. That said, here is one cash-producing company that reinvests wisely to drive long-term success and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Supernus Pharmaceuticals (SUPN)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 27.9%

With a diverse portfolio of eight FDA-approved medications targeting neurological conditions, Supernus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SUPN) develops and markets treatments for central nervous system disorders including epilepsy, ADHD, Parkinson's disease, and migraine.

Why Are We Wary of SUPN?

  1. Muted 2.4% annual revenue growth over the last two years shows its demand lagged behind its healthcare peers
  2. Subscale operations are evident in its revenue base of $665.1 million, meaning it has fewer distribution channels than its larger rivals
  3. Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value

Supernus Pharmaceuticals is trading at $45.43 per share, or 22.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SUPN in your portfolio.

OPENLANE (KAR)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 15.9%

Facilitating the sale of approximately 1.3 million used vehicles in 2023, OPENLANE (NYSE: KAR) operates digital marketplaces that connect sellers and buyers of used vehicles across North America and Europe, facilitating wholesale transactions.

Why Do We Think KAR Will Underperform?

  1. Sales tumbled by 5.3% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Low returns on capital reflect management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 5× increases the risk of forced asset sales or dilutive financing if operational performance weakens

OPENLANE’s stock price of $29.15 implies a valuation ratio of 31.4x forward P/E. If you’re considering KAR for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Booking (BKNG)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 36.9%

Formerly known as The Priceline Group, Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) is the world’s largest online travel agency.

Why Do We Like BKNG?

  1. Room Nights Booked have grown by 9.5% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
  2. Performance over the past three years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
  3. BKNG is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders

At $5,590 per share, Booking trades at 18.7x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
