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.

3 Industrials Stocks with Competitive Advantages

STRL Cover Image

Whether you see them or not, industrials businesses play a crucial part in our daily activities. Their momentum is also rising as lower interest rates have incentivized higher capital spending. As a result, the industry has posted a 45.7% gain over the past six months, beating the S&P 500 by 15 percentage points.

Nevertheless, investors must be mindful as the cycle can unexpectedly turn. When this inevitably happens, only the elite companies will survive and ultimately thrive. On that note, here are three industrials stocks we think can generate sustainable market-beating returns.

Sterling (STRL)

Market Cap: $11.23 billion

Involved in the construction of a major highway, the Grand Parkway in Houston, TX, Sterling Infrastructure (NASDAQ: STRL) provides civil infrastructure construction.

Why Is STRL a Good Business?

  1. 9.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years surpassed the sector average as its offerings resonated with customers
  2. Free cash flow margin expanded by 12.1 percentage points over the last five years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends
  3. Rising returns on capital show management is finding more attractive investment opportunities

Sterling’s stock price of $370 implies a valuation ratio of 37.1x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .

Limbach (LMB)

Market Cap: $1.09 billion

Established in 1901, Limbach (NASDAQ: LMB) provides integrated building systems solutions, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services.

Why Could LMB Be a Winner?

  1. Operating margin improved by 6.2 percentage points over the last five years as it eliminated redundant costs
  2. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 45.1% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 5.9 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

At $93.23 per share, Limbach trades at 21.8x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

Watts Water Technologies (WTS)

Market Cap: $9.40 billion

Founded in 1874, Watts Water (NYSE: WTS) specializes in manufacturing water products and systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications globally.

Why Does WTS Stand Out?

  1. Offerings are difficult to replicate at scale and result in a best-in-class gross margin of 45.5%
  2. Operating profits increased over the last five years as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
  3. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 20.7%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last five years

Watts Water Technologies is trading at $281.65 per share, or 27.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
