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.

3 Cash-Producing Stocks with Warning Signs

NPO 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.

Luckily for you, we built StockStory to help you separate the good from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here are three cash-producing companies that don’t make the cut and some better opportunities instead.

Enpro (NPO)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 14%

Holding a Guinness World Record for creating the world's largest gasket, Enpro (NYSE: NPO) designs, manufactures, and sells products used for machinery in various industries.

Why Do We Think Twice About NPO?

  1. Sales stagnated over the last five years and signal the need for new growth strategies
  2. Flat earnings per share over the last two years underperformed the sector average
  3. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities

Enpro’s stock price of $226.20 implies a valuation ratio of 28.7x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than NPO.

Organon (OGN)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 10.5%

Spun off from Merck in 2021 to create a company dedicated to addressing unmet needs in women's health, Organon (NYSE: OGN) is a global healthcare company focused on improving women's health through prescription therapies, medical devices, biosimilars, and established medicines.

Why Are We Cautious About OGN?

  1. Annual sales declines of 2.6% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 25.6 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

At $9.13 per share, Organon trades at 2.4x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why OGN doesn’t pass our bar.

Western Union (WU)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 9.1%

With a history dating back to 1851 when it began as a telegraph company, Western Union (NYSE: WU) is a global money transfer service that enables consumers and businesses to send funds across borders and currencies, typically within minutes.

Why Do We Think WU Will Underperform?

  1. Sales tumbled by 3.6% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Earnings per share were flat over the last five years and fell short of the peer group average
  3. Negative return on equity shows management lost money while trying to expand the business

Western Union is trading at $8.63 per share, or 4.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including WU in your portfolio.
