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.

Kate’s guest on The MarketBeat Podcast this week is Brian Mulberry, client portfolio manager at Zacks Investment Management. Brian brings three large-cap ideas today and discusses why one utility may have potential beyond the traditional role of a dividend payer. He also discusses why a very familiar beverage and packaged food company is growing beyond its namesake product by focusing on the youth market, and why a maker of heavy machinery appears set for big gains.

 Stick around until the end, because Brian shares how to access Zacks research to get more ideas.

-Why Brian’s utility pick, Southern Company, has earnings durability that causes him to think it can withstand the higher cost of capital as interest rates rise

-The company has strong earnings growth, relative to the S&P 500 and may be able to pass along higher costs to its customers

-Brian attributes the company’s recent blowout quarterly report to investments that the company has made over the years

-Should investors be looking to utilities for a return beyond dividend yield?

-Does a stock like Southern Company make sense in a roaring bull market?

-Why Southern Company happens to be in a good geographical area that’s helping to grow market share and higher revenue lately

-Brian’s second stock, PepsiCo, also has earnings durability

-How the company’s growth through acquisition has allowed it to have pricing power, by focusing on strong brand names

-How Pepsi’s focus on Gatorade and its distribution deal with Celsius is helping the company expand its presence and loyalty in the youth market

-The company has been making investments outside the carbonated beverage market, which is a declining portion of its brand portfolio

-Why Brian sees Pepsi’s distribution strategy as an edge in the supply chain where other manufacturers have fallen short

-Brian’s third stock is an old-school industrial, Caterpillar, which has also navigated supply chains well

-Why Brian sees Caterpillar as large earnings per share grower, based on increased infrastructure spending and the Inflation Reduction Act.

-Why he sees this stock as attractive, although it’s not one he expects to behave like a red-hot growth stock

-Why Brian thinks infrastructure spending will finally ramp up and benefit companies like Caterpillar?
