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 with Competitive Advantages and 1 We Brush Off

AVGO 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.

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 that may face some trouble.

One Stock to Sell:

Champion Homes (SKY)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 7.6%

Founded in 1951, Champion Homes (NYSE: SKY) is a manufacturer of modular homes and buildings in North America.

Why Do We Think Twice About SKY?

  1. Underwhelming unit sales over the past two years show it’s struggled to increase its sales volumes and had to rely on price increases
  2. Falling earnings per share over the last two years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Champion Homes’s stock price of $66.39 implies a valuation ratio of 16.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than SKY.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Broadcom (AVGO)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 39.8%

Originally the semiconductor division of Hewlett Packard, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) is a semiconductor conglomerate spanning wireless communications, networking, and data storage as well as infrastructure software focused on mainframes and cybersecurity.

Why Are We Backing AVGO?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 27.6% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
  2. Offerings are difficult to replicate at scale and lead to a best-in-class gross margin of 75.8%
  3. AVGO is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders

Broadcom is trading at $291.85 per share, or 39.2x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Warby Parker (WRBY)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 5.3%

Founded in 2010, Warby Parker (NYSE: WRBY) designs, manufactures, and sells eyewear, including prescription glasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses, through its e-commerce platform and physical retail locations.

Why Are We Positive On WRBY?

  1. Aggressive expansion of new stores reflects an offensive push to quickly grow and sell in markets where it has few or no locations
  2. Differentiated product assortment results in a best-in-class gross margin of 55.1%
  3. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last three years, increasing by 62.4% annually

At $24.46 per share, Warby Parker trades at 65.3x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
