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 Safe-and-Steady Stock for Long-Term Investors and 2 We Find Risky

UFPI Cover Image

Low-volatility stocks may offer stability, but that often comes at the cost of slower growth and the upside potential of more dynamic companies.

Finding the right balance between safety and returns isn’t easy, which is why StockStory is here to help. That said, here is one low-volatility stock that could offer consistent gains and two that may not keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

UFP Industries (UFPI)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.79

Beginning as a lumber supplier in the 1950s, UFP Industries (NASDAQ: UFPI) is a holding company making building materials for the construction, retail, and industrial sectors.

Why Is UFPI Risky?

  1. Declining unit sales over the past two years imply it may need to invest in improvements to get back on track
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last two years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

UFP Industries is trading at $90.43 per share, or 15.1x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including UFPI in your portfolio.

CME Group (CME)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.15

Born from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange founded in 1898 as a butter and egg trading venue, CME Group (NASDAQ: CME) operates the world's largest derivatives marketplace where traders can buy and sell futures and options contracts across interest rates, equities, currencies, commodities, and more.

Why Does CME Worry Us?

  1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 4.7% annual growth was below the typical financials company
  2. Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last five years as its EPS grew by just 8.6% annually

CME Group’s stock price of $263.43 implies a valuation ratio of 23.5x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with CME, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

One Stock to Buy:

NMI Holdings (NMIH)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.66

Founded in the aftermath of the 2008 housing crisis to bring new capacity to the mortgage insurance market, NMI Holdings (NASDAQ: NMIH) provides mortgage insurance that protects lenders against losses when homebuyers default on their mortgage loans.

Why Should You Buy NMIH?

  1. 9.8% annualized net premiums earned expansion over the last two years exceeded the sector average as its policies appealed to customers
  2. Combined ratio improved by 14.4 percentage points over the last four years as it scaled
  3. Balance sheet strength has increased this cycle as its 16% annual book value per share growth over the last five years was exceptional

At $36.04 per share, NMI Holdings trades at 1.1x forward P/B. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
