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 Growth Stocks to Stash and 1 That Underwhelm

ARIS Cover Image

Growth is oxygen. But when it evaporates, the consequences can be severe - ask anyone who bought Cisco in the Dot-Com Bubble or newer investors who lived through the 2020 to 2022 COVID cycle.

Deciphering which businesses can sustain their high growth rates is a challenge for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory. That said, here are two growth stocks expanding their competitive advantages and one climbing an uphill battle.

One Growth Stock to Sell:

Quanex (NX)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +47.7%

Starting in the seamless tube industry, Quanex (NYSE: NX) manufactures building products like window, door, kitchen, and bath cabinet components.

Why Does NX Give Us Pause?

  1. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 5.4% annually
  2. Free cash flow margin shrank by 9.9 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Quanex is trading at $21.22 per share, or 7.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including NX in your portfolio.

Two Growth Stocks to Watch:

Aris Water (ARIS)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +16.4%

Primarily serving the oil and gas industry, Aris Water (NYSE: ARIS) is a provider of water handling and recycling solutions.

Why Will ARIS Outperform?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 23.8% over the last five years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 30.4% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin expanded by 38.4 percentage points over the last five years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends

At $23.69 per share, Aris Water trades at 14.7x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +20.8%

Pioneering minimally invasive surgery since its first da Vinci system was FDA-cleared in 2000, Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) develops and manufactures robotic-assisted surgical systems that enable minimally invasive procedures across various medical specialties.

Why Should ISRG Be on Your Watchlist?

  1. System Placement averaged 11.4% growth over the past two years and imply healthy demand for its products
  2. Estimated revenue growth of 14.2% for the next 12 months implies its momentum over the last two years will continue
  3. Earnings per share grew by 17.7% annually over the last five years and trumped its peers

Intuitive Surgical’s stock price of $482.68 implies a valuation ratio of 57.5x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
