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 Nasdaq 100 Stock Worth Investigating and 2 to Steer Clear Of

AMZN Cover Image

The Nasdaq 100 (^NDX) is home to some of the biggest success stories in tech and growth investing. However, certain stocks in the index face challenges like profitability concerns, rising costs, or shifts in market trends.

Even among high-growth companies, some are struggling, which is why we built StockStory - to help you separate winners from losers. That said, here is one Nasdaq 100 stock driving the future of tech and two that may struggle.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Amazon (AMZN)

Market Cap: $2.19 trillion

Founded by Jeff Bezos after quitting his stock-picking job at D.E. Shaw, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the world’s largest online retailer and provider of cloud computing services.

Why Are We Hesitant About AMZN?

  1. Amazon revolutionized the way consumers shop. But its capital-intensive online retail business caps its profitability, leading to margins that lag behind its Magnificent 7 peers.
  2. Although Amazon Web Services is a gold mine producing mission-critical infrastructure, its outsized scale limits its growth rate compared to smaller peers such as Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.
  3. Returns on invested capital are well below their pre-COVID peak as the company is in the middle of an investment cycle. Will Amazon ever harvest profits or keep pushing them to the future?

At $206.51 per share, Amazon trades at 32.4x forward price-to-earnings. To fully understand why you should be careful with AMZN, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Verisk (VRSK)

Market Cap: $44.34 billion

Processing over 2.8 billion insurance transaction records annually through one of the world's largest private databases, Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ: VRSK) provides data, analytics, and technology solutions that help insurance companies assess risk, detect fraud, and make better business decisions.

Why Does VRSK Worry Us?

  1. Muted 1.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its business services peers
  2. Earnings growth over the last two years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 8.7% annually

Verisk is trading at $317.33 per share, or 43.9x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why VRSK doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Watch:

Autodesk (ADSK)

Market Cap: $63.17 billion

Founded in 1982 by John Walker and growing into one of the industry's behemoths, Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) makes computer-aided design (CAD) software for engineering, construction, and architecture companies.

Why Are We Positive On ADSK?

  1. Average billings growth of 23.1% over the last year enhances its liquidity and shows there is steady demand for its products
  2. Software is difficult to replicate at scale and results in a best-in-class gross margin of 92%
  3. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong trailing 12-month operating margin of 20.3%

Autodesk’s stock price of $294.80 implies a valuation ratio of 8.9x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
