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.

3 Market-Beating Stocks to Research Further

By: StockStory

POWL Cover Image

The best-performing stocks typically have robust sales growth, increasing margins, and rising returns on capital, and those that can maintain this trifecta year in and year out often become the legends of the investing world.

The bottom line is that over the long term, earnings growth goes hand in hand with the biggest winners. On that note, here are three market-beating stocks that could turbocharge your returns.

Powell (POWL)

Five-Year Return: +749%

Originally a metal-working shop supporting local petrochemical facilities, Powell (NYSE: POWL) has grown from a small Houston manufacturer to a global provider of electrical systems.

Why Does POWL Stand Out?

  1. Impressive 34.8% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Operating margin improvement of 17.7 percentage points over the last five years demonstrates its ability to scale efficiently
  3. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last two years, increasing by 209% annually

Powell’s stock price of $217.33 implies a valuation ratio of 14.6x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

First Financial Bancorp (FFBC)

Five-Year Return: +112%

Tracing its roots back to 1863 during the Civil War era, First Financial Bancorp (NASDAQ: FFBC) is a bank holding company that provides commercial banking, lending, deposit services, and wealth management to individuals and businesses.

Why Are We Positive On FFBC?

  1. Annual tangible book value per share growth of 16.8% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting strong capital accumulation this cycle
  2. Forecasted tangible book value per share growth of 12.6% for the next 12 months indicates its capital generation over the last two years is sustainable
  3. Market-beating return on equity illustrates that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures

At $25.74 per share, First Financial Bancorp trades at 0.9x forward P/B. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

Coastal Financial (CCB)

Five-Year Return: +721%

Pioneering the intersection of traditional banking and financial technology in the Pacific Northwest, Coastal Financial (NASDAQ: CCB) operates as a bank holding company that provides traditional banking services and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) solutions to consumers and businesses.

Why Is CCB a Good Business?

  1. Annual net interest income growth of 46% over the last four years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Operating profits are forecasted to increase over the next year as it scales and becomes more productive
  3. Earnings per share grew by 25.7% annually over the last five years and trumped its peers

Coastal Financial is trading at $102.97 per share, or 3.1x forward P/B. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
