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 Worth Investigating and 2 We Ignore

AMKR Cover Image

Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.

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 reward patient investors and two best left to the gamblers.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Amkor (AMKR)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.99

Operating through a largely Asian facility footprint, Amkor Technologies (NASDAQ: AMKR) provides outsourced packaging and testing for semiconductors.

Why Should You Dump AMKR?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 4.4% annually over the last two years
  2. Gross margin of 14.4% reflects its high production costs
  3. Poor expense management has led to an operating margin of 7% that is below the industry average

Amkor is trading at $24.38 per share, or 18.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why AMKR doesn’t pass our bar.

Knowles (KN)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.67

With roots dating back to 1946 and a focus on components that must perform flawlessly in critical situations, Knowles (NYSE: KN) designs and manufactures specialized electronic components like high-performance capacitors, microphones, and speakers for medical technology, defense, and industrial applications.

Why Do We Pass on KN?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 5.3% annually over the last five years
  2. Revenue base of $563.1 million puts it at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors exhibiting economies of scale
  3. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities, and its decreasing returns suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Knowles’s stock price of $21.64 implies a valuation ratio of 17.8x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with KN, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Watch:

Cadence Bank (CADE)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.31

With roots dating back to 1885 and a strategic focus on middle-market commercial lending, Cadence Bancorporation (NYSE: CADE) is a bank holding company that provides commercial banking, retail banking, and wealth management services to middle-market businesses and individuals.

Why Do We Like CADE?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 17% annual net interest income growth over the last five years was exceptional
  2. Net interest income outlook for the upcoming 12 months implies the business will stay on its desirable five-year growth trajectory
  3. Impressive 23.6% annual tangible book value per share growth over the last two years indicates it’s building equity value this cycle

At $37.95 per share, Cadence Bank trades at 1.2x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
