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 Mooning Stock to Consider Right Now and 2 Facing Headwinds

By: StockStory

PTC Cover Image

The stocks featured in this article have all approached their 52-week highs. When these price levels hit, it typically signals strong business execution, positive market sentiment, or significant industry tailwinds.

But not every company with momentum is a long-term winner, and plenty of investors have lost money betting on short-term fads. On that note, here is one stock with the fundamentals to back up its performance and two that may correct.

Two Stocks to Sell:

CBRE (CBRE)

One-Month Return: +14%

Established in 1906, CBRE (NYSE: CBRE) is one of the largest commercial real estate services firms in the world.

Why Is CBRE Risky?

  1. Large revenue base makes it harder to increase sales quickly, and its annual revenue growth of 9.4% over the last five years was below our standards for the consumer discretionary sector
  2. Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

At $158.93 per share, CBRE trades at 24.7x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than CBRE.

Barrett (BBSI)

One-Month Return: +5.5%

Operating as a professional employer organization (PEO) that serves over 8,000 companies with more than 120,000 worksite employees, Barrett Business Services (NASDAQ: BBSI) provides management solutions that help small and mid-sized businesses handle human resources, payroll, workers' compensation, and other administrative functions.

Why Does BBSI Give Us Pause?

  1. Smaller revenue base of $1.20 billion means it hasn’t achieved the economies of scale that some industry juggernauts enjoy
  2. 10.1 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
  3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

Barrett is trading at $46.03 per share, or 19.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering BBSI for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

PTC (PTC)

One-Month Return: +2.9%

Originally known as Parametric Technology Corporation until its 2013 rebranding, PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) provides software that helps manufacturers design, develop, and service physical products through digital solutions for CAD, PLM, ALM, and SLM.

Why Does PTC Stand Out?

  1. User-friendly software enables clients to ramp up spending quickly, leading to the speedy recovery of customer acquisition costs
  2. Excellent operating margin of 30% highlights the efficiency of its business model, and its profits increased over the last year as it scaled
  3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends

PTC’s stock price of $205.40 implies a valuation ratio of 9x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
