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 for Long-Term Investors and 2 We Brush Off

KDP Cover Image

The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is home to the biggest and most well-known companies in the market, making it a go-to index for investors seeking stability. But not all large-cap stocks are created equal - some are struggling with slowing growth, declining margins, or increased competition.

Some large-cap stocks are past their peak, and StockStory is here to help you separate the winners from the laggards. Keeping that in mind, here is one S&P 500 stock that is positioned to outperform and two best left off your watchlist.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP)

Market Cap: $45.26 billion

Born out of a 2018 merger between Keurig Green Mountain and Dr Pepper Snapple, Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) is a consumer staples powerhouse boasting a portfolio of beverages including sodas, coffees, and juices.

Why Does KDP Give Us Pause?

  1. Large revenue base makes it harder to increase sales quickly, and its annual revenue growth of 5.9% over the last three years was below our standards for the consumer staples sector
  2. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last year, causing its operating margin to decline by 6.1 percentage points
  3. Underwhelming 5.8% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

Keurig Dr Pepper is trading at $33.34 per share, or 15.9x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why KDP doesn’t pass our bar.

Lennar (LEN)

Market Cap: $30.95 billion

One of the largest homebuilders in America, Lennar (NYSE: LEN) is known for constructing affordable, move-up, and retirement homes across a range of markets and communities.

Why Should You Sell LEN?

  1. Backlog has dropped by 20.4% on average over the past two years, suggesting it’s losing orders as competition picks up
  2. Earnings per share fell by 11.2% annually over the last two years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable
  3. Free cash flow margin shrank by 13.5 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

Lennar’s stock price of $119.53 implies a valuation ratio of 11.3x forward P/E. If you’re considering LEN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Buy:

Progressive (PGR)

Market Cap: $142.4 billion

Starting as a small auto insurance company in 1937 with a pioneering focus on high-risk drivers, Progressive (NYSE: PGR) is a major auto, property, and commercial insurance provider that offers policies through independent agents, online platforms, and over the phone.

Why Do We Love PGR?

  1. Annual net premiums earned growth of 20.3% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Balance sheet strength has increased this cycle as its 41.7% annual book value per share growth over the last two years was exceptional
  3. Expected book value per share growth of 24.9% for the next year suggests its capital position will strengthen considerably

At $243.23 per share, Progressive trades at 4.1x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
