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 Large-Cap Stocks for Long-Term Investors and 1 to Question

ABNB Cover Image

Large-cap stocks are known for their staying power and ability to weather market storms better than smaller competitors. However, their sheer size makes it more challenging to maintain high growth rates as they’ve already captured significant portions of their markets.

These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you find high-quality companies that can grow their earnings no matter what. Keeping that in mind, here are two large-cap stocks that still have big upside potential and one that could be stalling.

One Large-Cap Stock to Sell:

Ford (F)

Market Cap: $46.84 billion

Established to make automobiles accessible to a broader segment of the population, Ford (NYSE: F) designs, manufactures, and sells a variety of automobiles, trucks, and electric vehicles.

Why Do We Pass on F?

  1. Flat vehicles sold over the past two years imply it may need to invest in improvements to get back on track
  2. Free cash flow margin dropped by 13.4 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
  3. 8× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly

Ford’s stock price of $11.78 implies a valuation ratio of 8.6x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than F.

Two Large-Cap Stocks to Buy:

Airbnb (ABNB)

Market Cap: $83.54 billion

Founded by Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia in their San Francisco apartment, Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) is the world’s largest online marketplace for lodging, primarily homestays.

Why Are We Bullish on ABNB?

  1. Nights and Experiences Booked have grown by 10.4% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
  2. Earnings growth has trumped its peers over the last three years as its EPS has compounded at 49.4% annually
  3. ABNB is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders

At $135.25 per share, Airbnb trades at 20.1x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Axon (AXON)

Market Cap: $56.8 billion

Providing body cameras and tasers for first responders, AXON (NASDAQ: AXON) develops technology solutions and weapons products for military, law enforcement, and civilians.

Why Will AXON Beat the Market?

  1. Products are seeing elevated demand as its unit sales averaged 32% growth over the past two years
  2. Free cash flow margin grew by 20.3 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with
  3. Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments

Axon is trading at $728.20 per share, or 122.7x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

High-Quality Stocks for All Market Conditions
