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 Cash-Producing Stock with Solid Fundamentals and 2 to Keep Off Your Radar

EA Cover Image

A company that generates cash isn’t automatically a winner. Some businesses stockpile cash but fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their ability to expand.

Not all companies are created equal, and StockStory is here to surface the ones with real upside. That said, here is one cash-producing company that reinvests wisely to drive long-term success and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Electronic Arts (EA)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 24.9%

Best known for its Madden NFL and FIFA sports franchises, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) is one of the world’s largest video game publishers.

Why Is EA Not Exciting?

  1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last three years as its 2.1% annual growth was below the typical consumer internet company
  2. Sales are projected to remain flat over the next 12 months as demand decelerates from its three-year trend
  3. Efficiency has decreased over the last few years as its EBITDA margin fell by 8.1 percentage points

Electronic Arts’s stock price of $149.05 implies a valuation ratio of 14.9x forward EV/EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with EA, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Sonos (SONO)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 4.4%

A pioneer in connected home audio systems, Sonos (NASDAQ: SONO) offers a range of premium wireless speakers and sound systems.

Why Do We Avoid SONO?

  1. Annual revenue declines of 6.3% over the last two years indicate problems with its market positioning
  2. Persistent operating losses suggest the business manages its expenses poorly
  3. Negative returns on capital show that some of its growth strategies have backfired

Sonos is trading at $11.11 per share, or 53.6x forward P/E. If you’re considering SONO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Cardinal Health (CAH)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 1.1%

Operating as a critical link in the healthcare supply chain since 1979, Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH) distributes pharmaceuticals and manufactures medical products for hospitals, pharmacies, and healthcare providers across the global healthcare supply chain.

Why Do We Like CAH?

  1. Dominant market position is represented by its $222.3 billion in revenue, which creates significant barriers to entry in this highly regulated industry
  2. Demand will likely accelerate over the next 12 months as its forecasted revenue growth of 8.4% is above its two-year trend
  3. Earnings per share grew by 7.7% annually over the last five years, above the peer group average

At $148.70 per share, Cardinal Health trades at 17x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

High-Quality Stocks for All Market Conditions

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election sent major indices to all-time highs, but stocks have retraced as investors debate the health of the economy and the potential impact of tariffs.

This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 176% over the last five years.
