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 Mid-Cap Stocks Worth Your Attention and 1 We Ignore

FSLR Cover Image

Mid-cap stocks often strike the right balance between having proven business models and market opportunities that can support $100 billion corporations. However, they face intense competition from scaled industry giants and can be disrupted by new innovative players vying for a slice of the pie.

These dynamics can rattle even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. That said, here are two mid-cap stocks with huge upside potential and one best left ignored.

One Mid-Cap Stock to Sell:

First Solar (FSLR)

Market Cap: $20.93 billion

Headquartered in Arizona, First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) specializes in manufacturing solar panels and providing photovoltaic solar energy solutions.

Why Does FSLR Give Us Pause?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 6.8% over the last five years was below our standards for the industrials sector
  2. Investments to defend its competitive moat have ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 18.9 percentage points
  3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

First Solar is trading at $195.34 per share, or 9.9x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than FSLR.

Two Mid-Cap Stocks to Buy:

Insulet (PODD)

Market Cap: $23.93 billion

Revolutionizing diabetes care with its tubeless "Pod" technology, Insulet (NASDAQ: PODD) develops and manufactures innovative insulin delivery systems for people with diabetes, primarily through its Omnipod product line.

Why Will PODD Outperform?

  1. Constant currency growth averaged 26.4% over the past two years, showing it can expand globally regardless of the macroeconomic environment
  2. Free cash flow margin expanded by 25.4 percentage points over the last five years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends
  3. Returns on capital are climbing as management makes more lucrative bets

Insulet’s stock price of $335 implies a valuation ratio of 71.6x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

SEI Investments (SEIC)

Market Cap: $10.91 billion

Founded in 1968 as Simulated Environments Inc. to train bank loan officers using computer simulations, SEI Investments (NASDAQ: SEIC) provides technology platforms, investment management, and operational solutions for financial institutions, wealth managers, and investors.

Why Should You Buy SEIC?

  1. Products and services resonate with customers, evidenced by its respectable 8.1% annualized sales growth over the last two years
  2. Performance over the past two years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
  3. Market-beating return on equity illustrates that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures

At $87.01 per share, SEI Investments trades at 17x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
