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 Healthcare Stock Primed for Growth and 2 to Avoid

STE Cover Image

Personal health and wellness is one of the many secular tailwinds for healthcare companies. But speed bumps have persisted in the wake of COVID-19 as players destocked inventories in 2023 and 2024. This has weighed on the returns lately as the industry has pulled back by 1.7% over the past six months. This performance is a noticeable divergence from the S&P 500’s 9% return.

Despite the lackluster result, a few diamonds in the rough can produce earnings growth no matter what, and we started StockStory to help you find them. With that said, here is one healthcare stock poised to generate sustainable market-beating returns and two we’re swiping left on.

Two Healthcare Stocks to Sell:

STERIS (STE)

Market Cap: $21.53 billion

Founded in 1985, Steris (NYSE: STE) provides infection prevention, sterilization, and surgical support products for the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and research industries to ensure safety and operational efficiency.

Why Does STE Fall Short?

  1. Adjusted operating margin failed to increase over the last two years, indicating the company made no progress on optimizing its expenses
  2. 1.6 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
  3. Low returns on capital reflect management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively

At $219.34 per share, STERIS trades at 22.4x forward price-to-earnings. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than STE.

GoodRx (GDRX)

Market Cap: $1.86 billion

Founded in 2011, GoodRx (NASDAQ: GDRX) provides a platform allowing consumers to compare prescription drug prices, access discounts, and save on medications through its digital tools.

Why Do We Pass on GDRX?

  1. Customer additions have disappointed over the past two years, indicating the company’s value proposition may not be resonating
  2. Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 12.9 percentage points
  3. Negative returns on capital reveal that some of its growth strategies have backfired

GoodRx is trading at $5.17 per share, or 11.8x forward price-to-earnings. If you’re considering GDRX for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Healthcare Stock to Watch:

Cigna (CI)

Market Cap: $81.41 billion

Serving both corporate clients and individual customers, Cigna (NYSE: CI) offers health insurance and pharmacy benefit management services that cover medical, dental, behavioral health, and vision needs.

Why Could CI Be a Winner?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 17% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
  2. Enormous revenue base of $247.1 billion gives it power over plan holders and advantageous reimbursement terms with healthcare providers
  3. Earnings growth has comfortably beaten the peer group average over the last five years as its EPS has compounded at 9.9% annually

Cigna’s stock price of $301 implies a valuation ratio of 9.3x forward price-to-earnings. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
