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 Profitable Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 We Brush Off

LRCX Cover Image

Even if a company is profitable, it doesn’t always mean it’s a great investment. Some struggle to maintain growth, face looming threats, or fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their future potential.

A business making money today isn’t necessarily a winner, which is why we analyze companies across multiple dimensions at StockStory. That said, here is one profitable company that balances growth and profitability and two best left off your watchlist.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Carnival (CCL)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 16.2%

Boasting outrageous amenities like a planetarium on board its ships, Carnival (NYSE: CCL) is one of the world's largest leisure travel companies and a prominent player in the cruise industry.

Why Does CCL Give Us Pause?

  1. Large revenue base makes it harder to increase sales quickly, and its annual revenue growth of 9% over the last five years was below our standards for the consumer discretionary sector
  2. Estimated sales growth of 4.1% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  3. Negative returns on capital show management lost money while trying to expand the business

Carnival is trading at $31.92 per share, or 16x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than CCL.

Great Lakes Dredge & Dock (GLDD)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 13.3%

Founded as Lydon & Drews dredging company, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock (NASDAQ: GLDD) provides dredging services, land reclamation, and coastal protection projects in the United States and internationally.

Why Does GLDD Fall Short?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 2.9% over the last five years was below our standards for the industrials sector
  2. Estimated sales decline of 1.3% for the next 12 months implies a challenging demand environment
  3. Cash-burning tendencies make us wonder if it can sustainably generate shareholder value

At $11.61 per share, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock trades at 14.7x forward P/E. If you’re considering GLDD for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Buy:

Lam Research (LRCX)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 32%

Founded in 1980 by David Lam, the man who pioneered semiconductor etching technology, Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX) is one of the leading providers of wafer fabrication equipment used to make semiconductors.

Why Should You Buy LRCX?

  1. Impressive 12.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Excellent operating margin of 30.5% highlights the efficiency of its business model, and its profits increased over the last five years as it scaled
  3. Market-beating returns on capital illustrate that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures

Lam Research’s stock price of $100.05 implies a valuation ratio of 24.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
