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 Momentum Stock Worth Your Attention and 2 We Avoid

GATX Cover Image

The stocks in this article are all trading near their 52-week highs. This strength often reflects positive developments such as new product launches, favorable industry trends, or improved financial performance.

While momentum can be a leading indicator, it has burned many investors as it doesn’t always correlate with long-term success. On that note, here is one stock with the fundamentals to back up its performance and two best left ignored.

Two Stocks to Sell:

GATX (GATX)

One-Month Return: +10.3%

Originally founded to ship beer, GATX (NYSE: GATX) provides leasing and management services for railcars and other transportation assets globally.

Why Does GATX Fall Short?

  1. Demand for its offerings was relatively low as its number of active railcars has underwhelmed
  2. Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments
  3. Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

GATX’s stock price of $170.08 implies a valuation ratio of 18.5x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including GATX in your portfolio.

Installed Building Products (IBP)

One-Month Return: +27.6%

Founded in 1977, Installed Building Products (NYSE: IBP) is a company specializing in the installation of insulation, waterproofing, and other complementary building products for residential and commercial construction.

Why Are We Wary of IBP?

  1. 3.5% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its industrials peers
  2. Projected sales decline of 3.1% for the next 12 months points to a tough demand environment ahead
  3. Earnings growth over the last two years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 5.3% annually

Installed Building Products is trading at $263.39 per share, or 26.4x forward P/E. If you’re considering IBP for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Boston Scientific (BSX)

One-Month Return: -0.7%

Founded in 1979 with a mission to advance less-invasive medicine, Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) develops and manufactures medical devices used in minimally invasive procedures across cardiovascular, urological, neurological, and gastrointestinal specialties.

Why Is BSX on Our Radar?

  1. Core business can prosper without any help from acquisitions as its organic revenue growth averaged 15.6% over the past two years
  2. Sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months implies the business will stay on its desirable two-year growth trajectory
  3. Additional sales over the last five years increased its profitability as the 18.4% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue

At $105.75 per share, Boston Scientific trades at 34.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
