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 Surging Stock to Own for Decades and 2 We Ignore

LRN Cover Image

Great things are happening to the stocks in this article. They’re all outperforming the market over the last month because of positive catalysts such as a new product line, constructive news flow, or even a loyal Reddit fanbase.

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 lasting competitive advantages and two not so much.

Two Momentum Stocks to Sell:

Zurn Elkay (ZWS)

One-Month Return: +20.7%

Claiming to have saved more than 30 billion gallons of water, Zurn Elkay (NYSE: ZWS) provides water management solutions to various industries.

Why Is ZWS Risky?

  1. Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth
  2. Performance over the past five years was negatively impacted by new share issuances as its earnings per share dropped by 6.1% annually, worse than its revenue
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 5.5 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

At $44.42 per share, Zurn Elkay trades at 31.4x forward P/E. If you’re considering ZWS for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

NCR Atleos (NATL)

One-Month Return: +42.6%

Spun off from NCR Voyix in 2023 to focus exclusively on self-service banking technology, NCR Atleos (NYSE: NATL) provides self-directed banking solutions including ATM and interactive teller machine technology, software, services, and a surcharge-free ATM network for financial institutions and retailers.

Why Are We Out on NATL?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 1.8% over the last two years was below our standards for the financials sector
  2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 11.8% annually

NCR Atleos is trading at $38.30 per share, or 8.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than NATL.

One Momentum Stock to Buy:

Stride (LRN)

One-Month Return: +28.7%

Formerly known as K12, Stride (NYSE: LRN) is an education technology company providing education solutions through digital platforms.

Why Do We Love LRN?

  1. Increase in enrollments shows customers are eagerly embracing its offerings
  2. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 56.8% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin expanded by 8.6 percentage points over the last five years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends

Stride’s stock price of $167 implies a valuation ratio of 21.4x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
