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 Industrials Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 to Think Twice About

MTW Cover Image

Even if they go mostly unnoticed, industrial businesses are the backbone of our country. Still, their generally high capital requirements expose them to the ups and downs of economic cycles, and the market seems to be baking in a prolonged downturn as the industry has shed 18.6% over the past six months. This performance was worse than the S&P 500’s 11% decline.

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 industrials stock boasting a durable advantage and two we’re passing on.

Two Industrials Stocks to Sell:

Manitowoc (MTW)

Market Cap: $275.1 million

Contracted by the United States Navy during WWII, Manitowoc (NYSE: MTW) provides cranes and lifting equipment.

Why Should You Dump MTW?

  1. Backlog has dropped by 9.6% on average over the past two years, suggesting it’s losing orders as competition picks up
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last five years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. Poor free cash flow margin of -0.2% for the last five years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends

At $7.70 per share, Manitowoc trades at 10x forward price-to-earnings. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why MTW doesn’t pass our bar.

Trinity (TRN)

Market Cap: $2.05 billion

Operating under the trade name TrinityRail, Trinity (NYSE: TRN) is a provider of railcar products and services in North America.

Why Are We Hesitant About TRN?

  1. Flat sales over the last five years suggest it must find different ways to grow during this cycle
  2. Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

Trinity is trading at $25.52 per share, or 15.2x forward price-to-earnings. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than TRN.

One Industrials Stock to Buy:

Trane Technologies (TT)

Market Cap: $71.35 billion

With low-pressure heating systems as the first product, Trane (NYSE: TT) designs, manufactures, and sells HVAC and refrigeration systems, the former to commercial and residential building customers and the latter to commercial truck manufacturers.

Why Is TT a Good Business?

  1. Impressive 11.4% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Operating margin improvement of 5.3 percentage points over the last five years demonstrates its ability to scale efficiently
  3. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 23.6%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last two years

Trane Technologies’s stock price of $316.70 implies a valuation ratio of 25x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
