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 Cash-Producing Stocks Worth Your Attention and 1 to Avoid

QCOM Cover Image

While strong cash flow is a key indicator of stability, it doesn’t always translate to superior returns. Some cash-heavy businesses struggle with inefficient spending, slowing demand, or weak competitive positioning.

Luckily for you, we built StockStory to help you separate the good from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are two cash-producing companies that excel at turning cash into shareholder value and one best left off your watchlist.

One Stock to Sell:

Live Nation (LYV)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 6.8%

Owner of Ticketmaster and operator of music festival EDC, Live Nation (NYSE: LYV) is a company specializing in live event promotion, venue management, and ticketing services for concerts and shows.

Why Are We Wary of LYV?

  1. Performance surrounding its events has lagged its peers
  2. Operating margin of 4.1% falls short of the industry average, and the smaller profit dollars make it harder to react to unexpected market developments
  3. Capital intensity will likely increase as its free cash flow margin is anticipated to drop by 1.9 percentage points over the next year

At $140.26 per share, Live Nation trades at 60.3x forward P/E. If you’re considering LYV for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Qualcomm (QCOM)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 27.7%

Having been at the forefront of developing the standards for cellular connectivity for over four decades, Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) is a leading innovator and a fabless manufacturer of wireless technology chips used in smartphones, autos and internet of things appliances.

Why Could QCOM Be a Winner?

  1. Offerings and unique value proposition resonate with customers, as seen in its above-market 11.3% annual sales growth over the last five years
  2. Robust free cash flow margin of 30.4% gives it many options for capital deployment
  3. ROIC punches in at 52.2%, illustrating management’s expertise in identifying profitable investments

Qualcomm is trading at $157.17 per share, or 13.4x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

Monster (MNST)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 24.1%

Founded in 2002 as a natural soda and juice company, Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST) is a pioneer of the energy drink category, and its Monster Energy brand targets a young, active demographic.

Why Will MNST Outperform?

  1. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong two-year operating margin of 27.3%
  2. MNST is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders, and its recently improved profitability means it has even more resources to invest or distribute
  3. Stellar returns on capital showcase management’s ability to surface highly profitable business ventures

Monster’s stock price of $63.25 implies a valuation ratio of 33.9x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
