About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

2 Nasdaq 100 Stocks Worth Your Attention and 1 That Underwhelm

CPRT Cover Image

The Nasdaq 100 (^NDX) is known for housing some of the most innovative and fastest-growing companies in the market. But not every stock in the index is a winner - some are struggling with slowing growth, increasing competition, or unsustainable valuations.

With rapid innovation comes rapid change, and StockStory is here to help you identify which Nasdaq 100 stocks are still worth your money. That said, here are two Nasdaq 100 stocks driving the future of tech and one best left off your watchlist.

One Stock to Sell:

Mondelez (MDLZ)

Market Cap: $82.26 billion

Founded as Nabisco in 1903, Mondelez (NASDAQ: MDLZ) is a packaged snacks powerhouse best known for its Oreo, Cadbury, Toblerone, Ritz, and Trident brands.

Why Is MDLZ Not Exciting?

  1. Flat unit sales over the past two years suggest it might have to lower prices to stimulate growth
  2. Efficiency has decreased over the last year as its operating margin fell by 4.7 percentage points
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 2.3 percentage points over the last year, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

Mondelez’s stock price of $63.68 implies a valuation ratio of 19.7x forward P/E. If you’re considering MDLZ for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Copart (CPRT)

Market Cap: $44.23 billion

Starting as a single salvage yard in California in 1982, Copart (NASDAQ: CPRT) operates an online auction platform that connects sellers of damaged and salvage vehicles with buyers ranging from dismantlers and rebuilders to used car dealers and exporters.

Why Do We Love CPRT?

  1. Impressive 15.6% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Strong free cash flow margin of 23% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently, and its recently improved profitability means it has even more resources to invest or distribute
  3. Market-beating returns on capital illustrate that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures

At $45.86 per share, Copart trades at 26.6x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Market Cap: $173.3 billion

Pioneering minimally invasive surgery since its first da Vinci system was FDA-cleared in 2000, Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) develops and manufactures robotic-assisted surgical systems that enable minimally invasive procedures across various medical specialties.

Why Do We Watch ISRG?

  1. Products are reaching more customers as its system placement averaged 11.4% growth over the past two years
  2. Estimated revenue growth of 14.2% for the next 12 months implies its momentum over the last two years will continue
  3. Earnings growth has trumped its peers over the last five years as its EPS has compounded at 17.7% annually
