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 Nasdaq 100 Stocks Worth Investigating and 1 Facing Headwinds

META 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.

Investing in Nasdaq 100 stocks isn’t just about picking big names - it’s about finding the right ones, and that’s where StockStory comes in. That said, here are two Nasdaq 100 stocks driving the future of tech and one best left off your watchlist.

One Stock to Sell:

onsemi (ON)

Market Cap: $19.21 billion

Spun out of Motorola in 1999 and built through a series of acquisitions, onsemi (NASDAQ: ON) is a global provider of analog chips specializing in autos, industrial applications, and power management in cloud data centers.

Why Does ON Worry Us?

  1. Annual sales declines of 12.5% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
  2. Forecasted revenue decline of 4.5% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall even further
  3. Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last five years as its operating margin fell by 4.3 percentage points

At $47.20 per share, onsemi trades at 18x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ON doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Meta (META)

Market Cap: $1.94 trillion

Famously founded by Mark Zuckerberg in his Harvard dorm, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) operates a collection of the largest social networks in the world - Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, along with its metaverse focused Reality Labs.

Why Will META Beat the Market?

  1. Customer spending is rising as the company has focused on monetization over the last two years, leading to 14.5% annual growth in its average revenue per user
  2. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 31.8%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last three years
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 29.2% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently

Meta is trading at $769.83 per share, or 16.5x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Paychex (PAYX)

Market Cap: $50.1 billion

One of the oldest service providers in the industry, Paychex (NASDAQ: PAYX) offers its customers payroll and HR software solutions.

Why Could PAYX Be a Winner?

  2. Healthy operating margin of 39.6% shows it’s a well-run company with efficient processes
  3. PAYX is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders
