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 to Research Further and 2 We Find Risky

PENG 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.

Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. That said, here is one profitable company that leverages its financial strength to beat the competition and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Penguin Solutions (PENG)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 4.2%

Based in the US, Penguin Solutions (NASDAQ: PENG) is a diversified semiconductor company offering memory, digital, and LED products.

Why Do We Pass on PENG?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 4% over the last five years was below our standards for the semiconductor sector
  2. High input costs result in an inferior gross margin of 29.1% that must be offset through higher volumes
  3. Underwhelming 4.8% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities, and its decreasing returns suggest its historical profit centers are aging

At $22.14 per share, Penguin Solutions trades at 10.9x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why PENG doesn’t pass our bar.

Kohl's (KSS)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 3.5%

Founded as a corner grocery store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) is a department store chain that sells clothing, cosmetics, electronics, and home goods.

Why Do We Steer Clear of KSS?

  1. Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand
  2. Forecasted revenue decline of 4.1% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall even further
  3. 5× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly

Kohl's is trading at $15.71 per share, or 29.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including KSS in your portfolio.

One Stock to Watch:

Lennox (LII)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 19.5%

Based in Texas and founded over a century ago, Lennox (NYSE: LII) is a climate control solutions company offering heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) goods.

Why Does LII Stand Out?

  1. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong long-term operating margin of 16.4%, and it turbocharged its profits by achieving some fixed cost leverage
  2. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last two years, increasing by 22.2% annually
  3. Stellar returns on capital showcase management’s ability to surface highly profitable business ventures

Lennox’s stock price of $522.37 implies a valuation ratio of 21.4x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
