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 Mid-Cap Stocks to Keep an Eye On and 1 We Question

NXT Cover Image

Mid-cap stocks have the best odds of scaling into $100 billion corporations thanks to their tested business models and large addressable markets. But the many opportunities in front of them attract significant competition, spanning from industry behemoths with seemingly infinite resources to small, nimble players with chips on their shoulders.

Luckily for you, our mission at StockStory is to help you make money and avoid losses by sorting the winners from the losers. Keeping that in mind, here are two mid-cap stocks with massive growth potential and one that could be down big.

One Mid-Cap Stock to Sell:

Teledyne (TDY)

Market Cap: $26.62 billion

Playing a role in mapping the ocean floor as we know it today, Teledyne (NYSE: TDY) offers digital imaging and instrumentation products for various industries.

Why Is TDY Not Exciting?

  1. Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
  2. Free cash flow margin dropped by 2.5 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
  3. Low returns on capital reflect management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively

Teledyne is trading at $567.82 per share, or 25.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering TDY for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Mid-Cap Stocks to Watch:

Nextracker (NXT)

Market Cap: $12.87 billion

With its technology playing a key role in the massive 1.2 gigawatt Noor Abu Dhabi solar farm project, Nextracker (NASDAQ: NXT) is a provider of solar tracker systems that help solar panels follow the sun.

Why Will NXT Beat the Market?

  1. Demand is greater than supply as the company’s 41.6% average backlog growth over the past two years shows it’s securing new contracts and accumulating more orders than it can fulfill
  2. Free cash flow margin increased by 13.6 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders
  3. Improving returns on capital reflect management’s ability to monetize investments

Nextracker’s stock price of $88.00 implies a valuation ratio of 21.2x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

Broadridge (BR)

Market Cap: $27.16 billion

Processing over $10 trillion in equity and fixed income trades daily and managing proxy voting for over 800 million equity positions, Broadridge Financial Solutions (NYSE: BR) provides technology-driven solutions that power investing, governance, and communications for banks, broker-dealers, asset managers, and public companies.

Why Are We Fans of BR?

  1. Offerings and unique value proposition resonate with customers, as seen in its above-market 8.8% annual sales growth over the last five years
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were more profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 11.7% outpaced its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin jumped by 4.2 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends

At $232.50 per share, Broadridge trades at 24.9x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
