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 Profitable Stocks We Steer Clear Of

TTC Cover Image

While profitability is essential, it doesn’t guarantee long-term success. Some companies that rest on their margins will lose ground as competition intensifies - as Jeff Bezos said, "Your margin is my opportunity".

Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. Keeping that in mind, here are three profitable companies that don’t make the cut and some better opportunities instead.

The Toro Company (TTC)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 11.2%

Ceasing all production to support the war effort during World War II, Toro (NYSE: TTC) offers outdoor equipment for residential, commercial, and agricultural use.

Why Do We Steer Clear of TTC?

  1. Annual sales declines of 2.9% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. 9.1 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

The Toro Company is trading at $82 per share, or 17.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering TTC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Amphastar Pharmaceuticals (AMPH)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 25.1%

Founded in 1996 and known for its expertise in complex drug formulations, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AMPH) develops and manufactures technically challenging injectable and inhalation medications, including both generic and proprietary pharmaceutical products.

Why Is AMPH Not Exciting?

  1. Revenue base of $722.7 million puts it at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors exhibiting economies of scale
  2. Demand will likely fall over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue

Amphastar Pharmaceuticals’s stock price of $30.50 implies a valuation ratio of 9.3x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including AMPH in your portfolio.

AXIS Capital (AXS)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 16.1%

Founded in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks when insurance capacity was scarce, AXIS Capital Holdings Limited (NYSE: AXS) is a global specialty insurer and reinsurer that provides coverage for complex risks across property, liability, professional lines, cyber, and other specialty markets.

Why Are We Cautious About AXS?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 4.9% over the last five years was below our standards for the insurance sector
  2. 3.4% annualized net premiums earned growth over the last two years lagged behind its insurance peers
  3. ROE of 9.7% reflects management’s challenges in identifying attractive investment opportunities

At $98.64 per share, AXIS Capital trades at 1.3x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than AXS.
