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 Nasdaq 100 Stocks to Consider Right Now and 1 Facing Challenges

SHOP Cover Image

The Nasdaq 100 (^NDX) is known for housing some of the most innovative and fastest-growing companies in the market. But not every stock in the index is a winner - some are struggling with slowing growth, increasing competition, or unsustainable valuations.

Investing in Nasdaq 100 stocks isn’t just about picking big names - it’s about finding the right ones, and that’s where StockStory comes in. That said, here are two Nasdaq 100 stocks that could lead the market and one that may struggle.

One Stock to Sell:

Electronic Arts (EA)

Market Cap: $42.33 billion

Best known for its Madden NFL and FIFA sports franchises, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) is one of the world’s largest video game publishers.

Why Does EA Worry Us?

  1. Muted 1.2% annual revenue growth over the last three years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer internet peers
  2. Estimated sales growth of 2.2% for the next 12 months is soft and implies weaker demand
  3. Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last few years as its EBITDA margin fell by 6.1 percentage points

Electronic Arts’s stock price of $170.99 implies a valuation ratio of 14.2x forward EV/EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including EA in your portfolio.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Shopify (SHOP)

Market Cap: $186 billion

Starting with just three people selling snowboards online in 2004, Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) provides a comprehensive platform that enables merchants of all sizes to create, manage and grow their businesses across multiple sales channels.

Why Does SHOP Stand Out?

  1. Payment activity on its platform is soaring as its TPV growth averaged 33.6% over the last year, enabling the company to collect more fees and upsell additional services like banking
  2. Revenue outlook for the upcoming 12 months is outstanding and shows it’s on track to gain market share
  3. User-friendly software enables clients to ramp up spending quickly, leading to the speedy recovery of customer acquisition costs

At $143.27 per share, Shopify trades at 15.1x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX)

Market Cap: $99.96 billion

Founded in 1989 with a mission to create medicines that treat the underlying causes of disease rather than just symptoms, Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX) develops and markets transformative medicines for serious diseases, with a focus on cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and pain management.

Why Are We Fans of VRTX?

  1. Offerings and unique value proposition resonate with customers, as seen in its above-market 16.1% annual sales growth over the last five years
  2. Earnings per share grew by 15.9% annually over the last five years, massively outpacing its peers
  3. Stellar returns on capital showcase management’s ability to surface highly profitable business ventures

Vertex Pharmaceuticals is trading at $390.11 per share, or 19.9x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

High-Quality Stocks for All Market Conditions

When Trump unveiled his aggressive tariff plan in April 2025, markets tanked as investors feared a full-blown trade war. But those who panicked and sold missed the subsequent rebound that’s already erased most losses.
