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 Profitable Stocks Worth Your Attention and 1 We Question

PWR Cover Image

While profitability is essential, it doesn’t guarantee long-term success. Some companies that rest on their margins will lose ground as competition intensifies - as Jeff Bezos said, "Your margin is my opportunity".

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 are two profitable companies that balance growth and profitability and one that may struggle to keep up.

One Industrials Stock to Sell:

MDU Resources (MDU)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 35.6%

Founded to provide electricity to towns in Minnesota, MDU Resources (NYSE: MDU) provides products and services in the utilities and construction materials industries.

Why Are We Out on MDU?

  1. Sales tumbled by 37.6% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last five years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 7× increases the risk of forced asset sales or dilutive financing if operational performance weakens

MDU Resources is trading at $19.17 per share, or 19.6x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why MDU doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Industrials Stocks to Buy:

Quanta (PWR)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 5.7%

A construction engineering services company, Quanta (NYSE: PWR) provides infrastructure solutions to a variety of sectors, including energy and communications.

Why Is PWR a Top Pick?

  1. Backlog has averaged 20.3% growth over the past two years, showing it has a pipeline of unfulfilled orders that will support revenue in the future
  2. Estimated revenue growth of 12.7% for the next 12 months implies its momentum over the last two years will continue
  3. Earnings per share grew by 25.1% annually over the last two years and trumped its peers

Quanta’s stock price of $438 implies a valuation ratio of 37.2x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

SPX Technologies (SPXC)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 15.7%

With roots dating back to 1912 as the Piston Ring Company, SPX Technologies (NYSE: SPXC) supplies specialized infrastructure equipment for HVAC systems and detection and measurement applications across industrial, commercial, and utility markets.

Why Is SPXC a Good Business?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 12.5% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
  2. Operating profits and efficiency rose over the last five years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage
  3. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last two years as its EPS has compounded at 22.2% annually

At $184.04 per share, SPX Technologies trades at 26.7x 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.
