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 Cash-Producing Stocks with Exciting Potential and 1 We Avoid

AMD Cover Image

While strong cash flow is a key indicator of stability, it doesn’t always translate to superior returns. Some cash-heavy businesses struggle with inefficient spending, slowing demand, or weak competitive positioning.

Not all companies are created equal, and StockStory is here to surface the ones with real upside. Keeping that in mind, here are two cash-producing companies that leverage their financial strength to beat the competition and one that may face some trouble.

One Stock to Sell:

The Marzetti Company (MZTI)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 10.7%

Known for its frozen garlic bread and Parkerhouse rolls, The Marzetti Company (NASDAQ: MZTI) sells bread, dressing, and dips to the retail and food service channels.

Why Are We Hesitant About MZTI?

  1. Muted 4.4% annual revenue growth over the last three years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer staples peers
  2. Subscale operations are evident in its revenue base of $1.91 billion, meaning it has fewer distribution channels than its larger rivals
  3. Estimated sales growth of 1.6% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend

At $184.65 per share, The Marzetti Company trades at 25.8x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with MZTI, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Stocks to Watch:

AMD (AMD)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 11.8%

Founded in 1969 by a group of former Fairchild semiconductor executives led by Jerry Sanders, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) is one of the leading designers of computer processors and graphics chips used in PCs and data centers.

Why Do We Like AMD?

  1. Impressive 16.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Exciting sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months calls for 22.7% growth, an acceleration from its two-year trend
  3. Earnings growth has comfortably beaten the peer group average over the last five years as its EPS has compounded at 32% annually

AMD is trading at $167.96 per share, or 32.5x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Tenet Healthcare (THC)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 7.5%

With a network spanning nine states and serving primarily urban and suburban communities, Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC) operates a nationwide network of hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and outpatient facilities providing acute care and specialty healthcare services.

Why Are We Positive On THC?

  1. Share repurchases over the last five years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 29.1% to outpace its revenue gains
  2. Market-beating returns on capital illustrate that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures, and its rising returns show it’s making even more lucrative bets
  3. Returns on capital are growing as management capitalizes on its market opportunities

Tenet Healthcare’s stock price of $180.95 implies a valuation ratio of 13.9x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
