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.

2 S&P 500 Stocks to Target This Week and 1 That Underwhelm

CRWD Cover Image

While the S&P 500 (^GSPC) includes industry leaders, not every stock in the index is a winner. Some companies are past their prime, weighed down by poor execution, weak financials, or structural headwinds.

Picking the right S&P 500 stocks requires more than just buying big names, and that’s where StockStory comes in. Keeping that in mind, here are two S&P 500 stocks that could deliver good returns and one that may struggle.

One Stock to Sell:

NVR (NVR)

Market Cap: $22.8 billion

Known for its unique land acquisition strategy, NVR (NYSE: NVR) is a respected homebuilder and mortgage company in the United States.

Why Does NVR Fall Short?

  1. New orders were hard to come by as its average backlog growth of 1.3% over the past two years underwhelmed
  2. Sales are projected to tank by 6.9% over the next 12 months as demand evaporates
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

NVR is trading at $7,910 per share, or 18.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering NVR for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Stocks to Watch:

CrowdStrike (CRWD)

Market Cap: $110.1 billion

Founded by George Kurtz, the former CTO of the antivirus company McAfee, CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) provides cybersecurity software that protects companies from breaches and helps them detect and respond to cyber attacks.

Why Does CRWD Catch Our Eye?

  1. Customers view its software as mission-critical to their operations as its ARR has averaged 26.1% growth over the last year
  2. Estimated revenue growth of 21.6% for the next 12 months implies its momentum over the last three years will continue
  3. CRWD is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders

CrowdStrike’s stock price of $440.50 implies a valuation ratio of 21.8x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Stryker (SYK)

Market Cap: $145.6 billion

With over 150 million patients impacted annually through its innovative healthcare technologies, Stryker (NYSE: SYK) develops and manufactures advanced medical devices and equipment across orthopedics, surgical tools, neurotechnology, and patient care solutions.

Why Is SYK on Our Radar?

  1. Existing business lines can expand without risky acquisitions as its organic revenue growth averaged 10.2% over the past two years
  2. Economies of scale give it some operating leverage when demand rises
  3. Earnings per share grew by 13.3% annually over the last five years, massively outpacing its peers

At $380.86 per share, Stryker trades at 27.3x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
