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 Market-Beating Stocks to Target This Week

URI Cover Image

Stocks that outperform the market usually share key traits such as rising sales, expanding margins, and increasing returns on capital. The select few that can do all three for many years are often the ones that make you life-changing money.

Long story short, there is a near-perfect correlation between consistent earnings growth and huge winners. Keeping that in mind, here are three market-beating stocks that deserve a spot on your list.

United Rentals (URI)

5-Year Return: +532%

Owning the largest rental fleet in the world, United Rentals (NYSE: URI) provides equipment rental and related services to construction, industrial, and infrastructure industries.

Why Will URI Outperform?

  1. Average organic revenue growth of 10.9% over the past two years demonstrates its ability to expand independently without relying on acquisitions
  2. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong long-term operating margin of 25.5%, and its operating leverage amplified its profits over the last five years
  3. URI is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders

United Rentals’s stock price of $625.88 implies a valuation ratio of 13.7x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

Allison Transmission (ALSN)

5-Year Return: +174%

Helping build race cars at one point, Allison Transmission (NYSE: ALSN) offers transmissions to original equipment manufacturers and fleet operators.

Why Do We Like ALSN?

  1. Superior product capabilities and pricing power are reflected in its best-in-class gross margin of 47.8%
  2. Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 22.1% exceeded its revenue gains over the last two years
  3. Robust free cash flow margin of 20.2% gives it many options for capital deployment

Allison Transmission is trading at $96.04 per share, or 10.9x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

TopBuild (BLD)

5-Year Return: +233%

Established in 2015 following a spinoff from Masco Corporation, TopBuild (NYSE: BLD) is a distributor and installer of insulation and other building products.

Why Does BLD Stand Out?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 15.2% annual revenue growth over the last five years was exceptional
  2. ROIC punches in at 18.4%, illustrating management’s expertise in identifying profitable investments, and its returns are climbing as it finds even more attractive growth opportunities

At $307.13 per share, TopBuild trades at 13.6x forward price-to-earnings. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
