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.

2 Must-Own Consumer Stocks and 1 to Skip

KO Cover Image

Consumer staples stocks usually provide protection when markets are frothy and ripe for a correction, but they’re a double-edged sword as they often lag in booming conditions. The industry has recently defied this pattern, however, delivering a six-month return of 10.3%, nearly mirroring the S&P 500.

Despite the attractive returns, investors should tread carefully. The low switching costs for everyday products mean that not all businesses are equally positioned for success. Keeping that in mind, here are two consumer staples stocks we think have durable advantages and one that may face trouble.

1 Consumer Staples Stock to Sell

Coca-Cola (KO)

Market Cap: $273.1 billion
Industry Segment: Beverages, Alcohol, and Tobacco

A pioneer and behemoth in carbonated soft drinks, Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is a storied beverage company best known for its flagship soda.

3 Reasons KO Worries Us

  1. Overhead has increased over the last year as its operating margin fell by 4.1 percentage points
  2. Free cash flow margin shrank by 15.2 percentage points over the last year, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
  3. Estimated sales for the next 12 months imply growth will decelerate from its three-year trend

Coca-Cola is trading at $63.36 per share, or 21.3x forward price-to-earnings. If you’re considering KO for your portfolio, see our FREE must-have research report to learn more.

2 Consumer Staples Stocks to Buy

Monster (MNST)

Market Cap: $50.52 billion
Industry Segment: Beverages, Alcohol, and Tobacco

Founded in 2002 as a natural soda and juice company, Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST) is a pioneer of the energy drink category, and its Monster Energy brand targets a young, active demographic.

3 Reasons MNST Will Outperform

  1. Annual revenue growth of 11.7% over the last three years beat the sector average and underscores the popularity of its brand

  2. Highly efficient business model is illustrated by its impressive 27.5% operating margin

  3. Powerful free cash flow generation enables it to reinvest its profits or return capital to investors consistently, and its growing cash flow gives it even more resources to deploy

Monster’s stock price of $51.72 implies a valuation ratio of 28x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Celsius (CELH)

Market Cap: $6.87 billion
Industry Segment: Beverages, Alcohol, and Tobacco

With its proprietary MetaPlus formula as the basis for key products, Celsius (NASDAQ: CELH) offers energy drinks that feature natural ingredients to help in fitness and weight management.

3 Reasons We Love CELH

  1. Impressive 77.4% annual revenue growth over the last three years indicates it’s winning market share

  2. Incremental sales over the last three years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 198% annually, topping its revenue gains

  3. Free cash flow margin grew by 7.5 percentage points over the last year, giving the company more chips to play with

At $29.24 per share, Celsius trades at 33.3x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
