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 Volatile Stock for Long-Term Investors and 2 We Brush Off

PBPB Cover Image

Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.

At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock with massive upside potential and two that might not be worth the risk.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Potbelly (PBPB)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.60

With a unique origin story where the company actually started as an antique shop, Potbelly (NASDAQ: PBPB) today is a chain known for its toasty sandwiches.

Why Is PBPB Risky?

  1. 2.1% annual revenue growth over the last six years was slower than its restaurant peers
  2. Modest revenue base of $469.1 million gives it less fixed cost leverage and fewer distribution channels than larger companies
  3. Negative returns on capital show that some of its growth strategies have backfired

Potbelly is trading at $12.94 per share, or 21x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including PBPB in your portfolio.

Parker-Hannifin (PH)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.40

Founded in 1917, Parker Hannifin (NYSE: PH) is a manufacturer of motion and control systems for a wide variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

Why Are We Wary of PH?

  1. Sizable revenue base leads to growth challenges as its 2% annual revenue increases over the last two years fell short of other industrials companies
  2. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  3. Projected sales growth of 3.9% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand

At $759.85 per share, Parker-Hannifin trades at 26.1x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why PH doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Buy:

American Express (AXP)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.37

Recognizable by its iconic green logo and the slogan "Don't leave home without it," American Express (NYSE: AXP) is a global payments company that issues credit and charge cards, processes merchant transactions, and offers travel and lifestyle benefits to consumers and businesses.

Why Will AXP Beat the Market?

  1. Performance over the past five years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
  2. Annual tangible book value per share growth of 13.1% over the last two years was superb and indicates its capital strength increased during this cycle
  3. Industry-leading 32.1% return on equity demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments

American Express’s stock price of $330.78 implies a valuation ratio of 20.5x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
