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 Keep an Eye On

TSCO 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.

Long story short, there is a near-perfect correlation between consistent earnings growth and huge winners. Taking that into account, here are three market-beating stocks that could turbocharge your returns.

Tractor Supply (TSCO)

Five-Year Return: +101%

Started as a mail-order tractor parts business, Tractor Supply (NASDAQ: TSCO) is a retailer of general goods such as agricultural supplies, hardware, and pet food for the rural consumer.

Why Is TSCO on Our Radar?

  1. Fast expansion of new stores indicates an aggressive approach to attacking untapped market opportunities
  2. Sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months implies the business will stay on its desirable six-year growth trajectory
  3. ROIC punches in at 33.5%, illustrating management’s expertise in identifying profitable investments

At $59.98 per share, Tractor Supply trades at 27x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

RBC Bearings (RBC)

Five-Year Return: +186%

With a Guinness World Record for engineering the largest spherical plain bearing, RBC Bearings (NYSE: RBC) is a manufacturer of bearings and related components for the aerospace & defense, industrial, and transportation industries.

Why Do We Watch RBC?

  1. Impressive 18.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Exciting sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months calls for 14.7% growth, an acceleration from its two-year trend
  3. Highly efficient business model is illustrated by its impressive 20.2% operating margin, and its rise over the last five years was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs

RBC Bearings is trading at $398.15 per share, or 33.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Distribution Solutions (DSGR)

Return Since IPO: +70.6%

Founded in 1952, Distribution Solutions (NASDAQ: DSGR) provides supply chain solutions and distributes industrial, safety, and maintenance products to various industries.

Why Does DSGR Stand Out?

  1. Impressive 17.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Sound unit economics and 33.7% gross margin allow for higher marketing and R&D budgets versus competitors
  3. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last two years as its EPS has compounded at 22.6% annually

Distribution Solutions’s stock price of $31.91 implies a valuation ratio of 21.2x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
