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 with Solid Fundamentals and 2 We Find Risky

AMD Cover Image

Not all profitable companies are built to last - some rely on outdated models or unsustainable advantages. Just because a business is in the green today doesn’t mean it will thrive tomorrow.

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

Two Stocks to Sell:

Boyd Gaming (BYD)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 22.9%

Run by the Boyd family, Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD) is a diversified operator of gaming entertainment properties across the United States, offering casino games, hotel accommodations, and dining.

Why Do We Avoid BYD?

  1. 4.6% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its consumer discretionary peers
  2. Estimated sales decline of 12% for the next 12 months implies a challenging demand environment
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

Boyd Gaming is trading at $86.48 per share, or 13x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than BYD.

Vail Resorts (MTN)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 18.9%

Founded by two Aspen, Colorado ski patrol guides, Vail Resorts (NYSE: MTN) is a mountain resort company offering luxury experiences in over 30 locations across the globe.

Why Are We Cautious About MTN?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 1.3% over the last two years was below our standards for the consumer discretionary sector
  2. Performance surrounding its skier visits has lagged its peers
  3. Demand will likely be soft over the next 12 months as Wall Street’s estimates imply tepid growth of 1.5%

Vail Resorts’s stock price of $157.12 implies a valuation ratio of 21x forward P/E. If you’re considering MTN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

AMD (AMD)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 7.7%

Founded in 1969 by a group of former Fairchild semiconductor executives led by Jerry Sanders, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) is one of the leading designers of computer processors and graphics chips used in PCs and data centers.

Why Are We Positive On AMD?

  1. Impressive 31.1% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Demand for the next 12 months is expected to accelerate above its two-year trend as Wall Street forecasts robust revenue growth of 22.4%
  3. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last five years, increasing by 32% annually

At $164.38 per share, AMD trades at 32.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
