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.

2 Growth Stocks to Own for Decades and 1 to Steer Clear Of

By: StockStory

FORM Cover Image

Growth is oxygen. But when it evaporates, the consequences can be extreme - ask anyone who bought Cisco in the Dot-Com Bubble (Nvidia?) or newer investors who lived through the 2020 to 2022 COVID cycle.

Luckily for you, our job at StockStory is to help you avoid short-term fads by pointing you toward high-quality businesses that can generate sustainable long-term growth. Keeping that in mind, here are two growth stocks where the best is yet to come and one whose momentum may slow.

One Growth Stock to Sell:

FormFactor (FORM)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +15.3%

With customers across the foundry and fabless markets, FormFactor (NASDAQ: FORM) is a US-based provider of test and measurement technologies for semiconductors.

Why Are We Out on FORM?

  1. Muted 4.4% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its semiconductor peers
  2. Projected sales growth of 2.4% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand
  3. Efficiency has decreased over the last five years as its operating margin fell by 6.1 percentage points

At $32.31 per share, FormFactor trades at 20.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than FORM.

Two Growth Stocks to Buy:

Vertiv (VRT)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +20.4%

Formerly part of Emerson Electric, Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) manufactures and services infrastructure technology products for data centers and communication networks.

Why Is VRT a Top Pick?

  1. Core business is healthy and doesn’t need acquisitions to boost sales as its organic revenue growth averaged 18.5% over the past two years
  2. Free cash flow margin jumped by 6.5 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends
  3. Rising returns on capital show management is finding more attractive investment opportunities

Vertiv is trading at $104.26 per share, or 27.9x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

Eli Lilly (LLY)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +36.4%

Founded in 1876 by a Civil War veteran and pharmacist who was frustrated with the poor quality of medicines available at the time, Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) discovers, develops, and manufactures pharmaceutical products for conditions including diabetes, obesity, cancer, immunological disorders, and neurological diseases.

Why Are We Bullish on LLY?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 33% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
  2. Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 17.6% exceeded its revenue gains over the last five years
  3. Industry-leading 25.8% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments

Eli Lilly’s stock price of $716.51 implies a valuation ratio of 28.1x forward P/E. Is now the right 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.

While this leaves much uncertainty around 2025, a few companies are poised for long-term gains regardless of the political or macroeconomic climate, like our Top 6 Stocks for this week. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 176% over the last five years.

Stocks that made our list in 2020 include now familiar names such as Nvidia (+1,545% between March 2020 and March 2025) as well as under-the-radar businesses like the once-micro-cap company Tecnoglass (+1,754% five-year return). Find your next big winner with StockStory today for free.
