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 Safe-and-Steady Stock Worth Your Attention and 2 We Question

RELY Cover Image

A stock with low volatility can be reassuring, but it doesn’t always mean strong long-term performance. Investors who prioritize stability may miss out on higher-reward opportunities elsewhere.

Choosing the wrong investments can cause you to fall behind, which is why we started StockStory - to separate the winners from the losers. Keeping that in mind, here is one low-volatility stock that could offer consistent gains and two stuck in limbo.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Pfizer (PFE)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.46

With roots dating back to 1849 when two German immigrants opened a fine chemicals business in Brooklyn, Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is a global biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, manufactures, and sells medicines and vaccines for a wide range of diseases and conditions.

Why Are We Cautious About PFE?

  1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  2. Free cash flow margin shrank by 17.4 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

At $24.58 per share, Pfizer trades at 8.7x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why PFE doesn’t pass our bar.

Allstate (ALL)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.67

Born from a Sears, Roebuck & Co. initiative during the Great Depression with its famous "You're in good hands" slogan, Allstate (NYSE: ALL) is one of America's largest personal property and casualty insurers, offering protection for autos, homes, and personal property.

Why Does ALL Worry Us?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 3.8% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  2. Operational productivity has decreased over the last four years as its combined ratio worsened by 4.8 percentage points
  3. Flat book value per share over the last five years suggest it must find different ways to enhance shareholder value during this cycle

Allstate’s stock price of $209.65 implies a valuation ratio of 2.2x forward P/B. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including ALL in your portfolio.

One Stock to Buy:

Remitly (RELY)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.82

With Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as an early investor, Remitly (NASDAQ: RELY) is an online platform that enables consumers to safely and quickly send money globally.

Why Do We Love RELY?

  1. Active Customers are rising, meaning the company can increase revenue without incurring additional customer acquisition costs if it can cross-sell additional products and features
  2. Performance over the past three years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 76.4% outpaced its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin grew by 33.7 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more chips to play with

Remitly is trading at $15.59 per share, or 13.7x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
