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 on Our Buy List and 2 We Find Risky

CSW 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.

The high-risk, high-reward nature of the Russell 2000 makes stock selection critical, and we’re here to guide you toward the right ones. Keeping that in mind, here is one Russell 2000 stock that could be the next big thing and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

ScanSource (SCSC)

Market Cap: $978.2 million

Operating as a crucial link in the technology supply chain since 1992, ScanSource (NASDAQ: SCSC) is a hybrid distributor that connects hardware, software, and cloud services from technology suppliers to resellers and business customers.

Why Is SCSC Risky?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 11.4% annually over the last two years
  2. Earnings per share have contracted by 3.7% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
  3. ROIC of 8.1% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities

ScanSource’s stock price of $44.70 implies a valuation ratio of 11.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than SCSC.

StoneX (SNEX)

Market Cap: $5.46 billion

Originally known as INTL FCStone until its 2020 rebranding, StoneX Group (NASDAQ: SNEX) provides a global financial services network connecting companies, traders, and investors to markets through clearing, execution, and advisory services.

Why Is SNEX Not Exciting?

  1. Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last four years as its EPS grew by just 3.2% annually
  2. Elevated debt-to-equity ratio of 7.2× suggests the firm is overleveraged and may struggle to secure additional financing

StoneX is trading at $105.30 per share, or 2.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering SNEX for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Buy:

CSW (CSW)

Market Cap: $4.47 billion

With over two centuries of combined operations manufacturing and supplying, CSW (NASDAQ: CSW) offers special chemicals, coatings, sealants, and lubricants for various industries.

Why Should You Buy CSW?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 19.6% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
  2. Incremental sales over the last five years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 25.9% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Robust free cash flow margin of 15.5% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its recently improved profitability means it has even more resources to invest or distribute

At $265.95 per share, CSW trades at 26.6x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
