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 Safe-and-Steady Stock with Exciting Potential and 2 We Ignore

CTAS Cover Image

Stability is great, but low-volatility stocks may struggle to deliver market-beating returns over time as they sometimes underperform during bull markets.

Choosing the wrong investments can cause you to fall behind, which is why we started StockStory - to separate the winners from the losers. That said, here is one low-volatility stock that could succeed under all market conditions and two stuck in limbo.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Hartford (HIG)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.59

Recognizable by its iconic stag logo that dates back to 1810, The Hartford (NYSE: HIG) provides property and casualty insurance, group benefits, and investment products to individuals and businesses across the United States.

Why Are We Hesitant About HIG?

  1. Outsized scale creates growth headwinds as its 6.2% annualized net premiums earned increases over the last five years underperformed other financial institutions
  2. Sales are projected to tank by 15% over the next 12 months as demand evaporates
  3. Scale is a double-edged sword because it limits the firm’s capital growth potential compared to its smaller competitors, as reflected in its below-average annual book value per share increases of 5.4% for the last five years

Hartford is trading at $132.22 per share, or 2.1x forward P/B. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including HIG in your portfolio.

Prosperity Bancshares (PB)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.77

With a network of banking centers spanning the Lone Star State and beyond, Prosperity Bancshares (NYSE: PB) operates full-service banking locations throughout Texas and Oklahoma, offering a wide range of financial products and services to businesses and consumers.

Why Does PB Fall Short?

  1. Net interest income stagnated over the last five years and signal the need for new growth strategies
  2. Net interest margin of 3% is well below other banks, signaling its loans aren’t very profitable
  3. Incremental sales over the last five years were less profitable as its earnings per share were flat while its revenue grew

Prosperity Bancshares’s stock price of $69.34 implies a valuation ratio of 0.8x forward P/B. If you’re considering PB for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Buy:

Cintas (CTAS)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.85

Starting as a family business collecting and cleaning shop rags in Cincinnati, Cintas (NASDAQ: CTAS) provides corporate identity uniforms, facility services, and safety products to over one million businesses across North America.

Why Will CTAS Beat the Market?

  1. 8.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years surpassed the sector average as its services resonated with customers
  2. Performance over the past five years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 16.5% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently

At $208.54 per share, Cintas trades at 42.8x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
