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 Profitable Stock on Our Watchlist and 2 Facing Challenges

SWIM Cover Image

Not all profitable companies are built to last - some rely on outdated models or unsustainable advantages. Just because a business is in the green today doesn’t mean it will thrive tomorrow.

Profits are valuable, but they’re not everything. At StockStory, we help you identify the companies that have real staying power. That said, here is one profitable company that leverages its financial strength to beat the competition and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Latham (SWIM)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 3.9%

Started as a family business, Latham (NASDAQ: SWIM) is a global designer and manufacturer of in-ground residential swimming pools and related products.

Why Do We Think Twice About SWIM?

  1. Products and services aren't resonating with the market as its revenue declined by 7.7% annually over the last two years
  2. Capital intensity will likely increase as its free cash flow margin is anticipated to drop by 1.7 percentage points over the next year
  3. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities

Latham is trading at $8.06 per share, or 58.8x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with SWIM, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Rockwell Automation (ROK)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 15.5%

One of the first companies to address industrial automation, Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) sells products that help customers extract more efficiency from their machinery.

Why Should You Sell ROK?

  1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  2. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last two years, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Rockwell Automation’s stock price of $351.30 implies a valuation ratio of 30.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering ROK for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

AeroVironment (AVAV)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 5%

Focused on the future of autonomous military combat, AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV) specializes in advanced unmanned aircraft systems and electric vehicle charging solutions.

Why Should AVAV Be on Your Watchlist?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 23.2% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Projected revenue growth of 143% for the next 12 months is above its two-year trend, pointing to accelerating demand
  3. Earnings growth has trumped its peers over the last two years as its EPS has compounded at 63.4% annually

At $239.72 per share, AeroVironment trades at 62x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
