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 S&P 500 Stock to Keep an Eye On and 2 We Brush Off

PH Cover Image

The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is often seen as a benchmark for strong businesses, but that doesn’t mean every stock is worth owning. Some companies face significant challenges, whether it’s stagnating growth, heavy debt, or disruptive new competitors.

Some large-cap stocks are past their peak, and StockStory is here to help you separate the winners from the laggards. That said, here is one S&P 500 stock that could deliver good returns and two that could be in trouble.

Two Industrials Stocks to Sell:

Parker-Hannifin (PH)

Market Cap: $90.99 billion

Founded in 1917, Parker Hannifin (NYSE: PH) is a manufacturer of motion and control systems for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

Why Are We Cautious About PH?

  1. Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth
  2. Estimated sales growth of 2.2% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Free cash flow margin shrank by 2.5 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

At $711.51 per share, Parker-Hannifin trades at 25x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with PH, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Honeywell (HON)

Market Cap: $138.2 billion

Originally founded in 1906 as a thermostat company, Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) is a multinational conglomerate known for its aerospace systems, building technologies, performance materials, and safety and productivity solutions.

Why Do We Think Twice About HON?

  1. Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
  2. Projected sales growth of 4.7% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 2.6 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

Honeywell’s stock price of $217.75 implies a valuation ratio of 20.3x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why HON doesn’t pass our bar.

One Industrials Stock to Watch:

Waste Management (WM)

Market Cap: $92.2 billion

Headquartered in Houston, Waste Management (NYSE: WM) is a provider of comprehensive waste management services in North America.

Why Do We Like WM?

  1. Solid 9.7% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates its offering’s solve complex business issues
  2. Offerings are difficult to replicate at scale and result in a top-tier gross margin of 38.6%
  3. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong long-term operating margin of 17.4%

Waste Management is trading at $228.99 per share, or 28.2x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
