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 Profitable Stock Worth Your Attention and 2 Facing Challenges

LZ Cover Image

Even if a company is profitable, it doesn’t always mean it’s a great investment. Some struggle to maintain growth, face looming threats, or fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their future potential.

Profits are valuable, but they’re not everything. At StockStory, we help you identify the companies that have real staying power. Keeping that in mind, here is one profitable company that generates reliable profits without sacrificing growth and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Organon (OGN)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 18.9%

Spun off from Merck in 2021 to create a company dedicated to addressing unmet needs in women's health, Organon (NYSE: OGN) is a global healthcare company focused on improving women's health through prescription therapies, medical devices, biosimilars, and established medicines.

Why Does OGN Give Us Pause?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 2.6% annually over the last five years
  2. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 25.6 percentage points

At $9.60 per share, Organon trades at 2.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than OGN.

Robert Half (RHI)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 3.3%

With roots dating back to 1948 as the first specialized recruiting firm for accounting and finance professionals, Robert Half (NYSE: RHI) provides specialized talent solutions and business consulting services, connecting skilled professionals with companies across various fields.

Why Do We Pass on RHI?

  1. Products and services are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat sales over the last five years
  2. Sales over the last five years were less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 12.6% annually while its revenue was flat
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

Robert Half’s stock price of $32.50 implies a valuation ratio of 18.8x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why RHI doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Watch:

LegalZoom (LZ)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 5%

Founded by famous lawyer Robert Shapiro, LegalZoom (NASDAQ: LZ) offers online legal services and documentation assistance for individuals and businesses.

Why Are We Fans of LZ?

  1. Subscription Units have grown by 11.7% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
  2. Share repurchases over the last three years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 177% to outpace its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 14.9 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

LegalZoom is trading at $10.07 per share, or 10.1x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
