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.

Should You Bring The Luck Of The Irish To Your Investmets?

By: MarketBeat

stocks to watch

For St. Patrick’s Day, you might crack open a Guinness brewed by Diageo PLC (NYSE: DEO). If that inspires you to investigate how Irish stocks may fit into your portfolio, you have quite a few to choose from. 

We’ll review a few top performers listed on major U.S. exchanges.

While Guinness is one of the most prominent products of Ireland, there are several U.S.-listed Irish stocks worth celebrating as the world devotes a day to Irish culture. Diageo is based in the U.K., which is not always a selling point among true Ireland aficionados. 

It’s possible to buy a basket of Irish stocks by using the iShares MSCI Ireland ETF (NYSEARCA: EIRL)

This ETF is pegged to an index of companies based in Ireland. Many of these stocks are only available in the U.S. over the counter, but a few are listed as American depositary receipts on major exchanges, such as the Nasdaq or NYSE. 

The Irish stock index is outperforming the S&P 500, with a year-to-date gain of 12.22%, versus the S&P 500’s 2023 return of 1.79%.

Top holdings include:

In general, it’s best to zero in on stocks available on the major exchanges, but in the list above, there may be a couple of cases where you may want to consider a stock available over the counter.

Flutter Entertainment

You’ve probably never heard of this over-the-counter-listed company, but you’re almost certainly familiar with one of its properties, FanDuel. Flutter operates a range of online and in-person sports books throughout the globe. In its most recent earnings report, the company cited growth in the U.S. as a key revenue driver.

Flutter is considering listing its stock on a major U.S. exchange, which would be a boon in terms of raising capital. Industry analysts say that would be a shakeup to the U.S. publicly traded gaming industry because it would mean the entry of a huge global player. 

CRH

This is yet another unfamiliar name, but CRH is a prominent manufacturer of building materials, with locations throughout the globe, including the U.S. 

The NYSE-listed stock has a market cap of $37.53 billion; if it were based in the U.S., it would be an S&P 500 component. Its chart looks good right now, as the stock is getting 50-day support after pulling back from a February breakout and subsequent rally. 

Revenue and earnings have slowed recently, but Wall Street expects a 1% increase in profit this year, to $3.78 a share. Next year, that’s seen rising another 11%. 

Ryanair

You could consider Ryanair the Southwest Airlines of Europe, although Southwest is more profitable due to U.S. pricing. Ryanair is known for efficiency and avoided holiday-season meltdowns like its U.S. counterpart.

Ryanair began forming a consolidation in February. It’s corrected 13% so far from peak to trough. Shares got slammed the week of March 13, along with the broader market, but the stock’s prognosis is good. 

It’s currently outperforming all the major U.S. carriers when it comes to price appreciation. 

MarketBeat analyst data show a “moderate-buy” rating, with a price target of $111, an upside of 25.44%. 

Revenue growth has been slower in recent quarters, although in 2022, the comparisons over 2021 were easy. Wall Street expects Ryanair to earn $7.74 a share this year, up from a loss of $0.75 a share in 2022. Next year that’s seen rising by 1% to $7.79 a share. 

Global Diversification

While it’s a great idea to diversify globally, be sure that your holdings have a specific role in your portfolio. At this juncture, the Irish EIRL ETF can potentially boost a return above what you see with the S&P 500. A big chunk of that is due to the strong performance of CRH, which comprises 15.5% of the ETF.
