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 with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 We Find Risky

TOL 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.

Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. That said, here is one profitable company that leverages its financial strength to beat the competition and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Toll Brothers (TOL)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 17%

Started by two brothers who started by building and selling just one home in Pennsylvania, today Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL) is a luxury homebuilder across the United States.

Why Are We Cautious About TOL?

  1. Sales pipeline suggests its future revenue growth won’t meet our standards as its backlog averaged 6.3% declines over the past two years
  2. Earnings per share have contracted by 1.4% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
  3. Free cash flow margin shrank by 6.5 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

Toll Brothers is trading at $138.83 per share, or 9.8x forward P/E. If you’re considering TOL for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Ares Capital (ARCC)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 48.7%

As one of the largest business development companies in the United States with over $20 billion in assets, Ares Capital (NASDAQ: ARCC) is a business development company that provides financing solutions to middle-market companies, primarily through direct loans and equity investments.

Why Do We Pass on ARCC?

  1. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 3.6% annually

Ares Capital’s stock price of $22.28 implies a valuation ratio of 11.1x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ARCC doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Buy:

DexCom (DXCM)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 16%

Founded in 1999 and receiving its first FDA approval in 2006, DexCom (NASDAQ: DXCM) develops and sells continuous glucose monitoring systems that allow people with diabetes to track their blood sugar levels without repeated finger pricks.

Why Will DXCM Outperform?

  1. Existing business lines can expand without risky acquisitions as its organic revenue growth averaged 17.8% over the past two years
  2. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last five years as its EPS has compounded at 17.5% annually
  3. Free cash flow margin grew by 8.6 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with

At $76.40 per share, DexCom trades at 32.7x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
