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 That Stand Out

NOW Cover Image

Companies that consistently increase their sales, margins, or returns on capital are usually rewarded with the best returns, and those that can do all three for years on end are almost always the legendary stocks that return 100 times your money.

It’s clear there’s a strong connection between sustained earnings growth and hall-of-fame returns. Keeping that in mind, here are three market-beating stocks with room for further growth.

ServiceNow (NOW)

Five-Year Return: +166%

Founded by Fred Luddy, who coded the company's initial prototype on a flight from San Francisco to London, ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) is a software provider helping companies automate workflows across IT, HR, and customer service.

Why Is NOW a Top Pick?

  1. ARR growth averaged 22.7% over the last year, showing customers are willing to take multi-year bets on its offerings
  2. Healthy operating margin of 12.4% shows it’s a well-run company with efficient processes, and its rise over the last year was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 31.3% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently

ServiceNow is trading at $718.89 per share, or 11.6x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

Shopify (SHOP)

Five-Year Return: +94.1%

Originally created as an internal tool for a snowboarding company, Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) provides a software platform for building and operating e-commerce businesses.

Why Will SHOP Outperform?

  1. Payment activity on its platform is soaring as its TPV growth averaged 32% over the last year, enabling the company to collect more fees and upsell additional services like banking
  2. Well-designed software integrates seamlessly with other workflows, enabling swift payback periods on marketing expenses and customer growth at scale
  3. Operating margin improvement of 32.2 percentage points over the last year demonstrates its ability to scale efficiently

At $76.20 per share, Shopify trades at 9.2x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Comfort Systems (FIX)

Five-Year Return: +790%

Formed through the merger of 12 companies, Comfort Systems (NYSE: FIX) provides mechanical and electrical contracting services.

Why Are We Bullish on FIX?

  1. Average backlog growth of 36.3% over the past two years shows it has a steady sales pipeline that will drive future orders
  2. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 66.1% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Improving returns on capital reflect management’s ability to monetize investments

Comfort Systems’s stock price of $293.51 implies a valuation ratio of 17.6x forward price-to-earnings. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
