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 Industrials Stock to Own for Decades and 2 We Turn Down

GHM Cover Image

Industrials businesses quietly power the physical things we depend on, from cars and homes to e-commerce infrastructure. They are also bound to benefit from a friendlier regulatory environment with the Trump administration, and this excitement has led to a six-month gain of 21.8% for the sector - higher than the S&P 500’s 16% return.

Nevertheless, investors must be mindful as the cycle can unexpectedly turn. When this inevitably happens, only the elite companies will survive and ultimately thrive. On that note, here is one industrials stock poised to generate sustainable market-beating returns and two that may face trouble.

Two Industrials Stocks to Sell:

Dover (DOV)

Market Cap: $23.95 billion

A company that manufactured critical equipment for the United States military during World War II, Dover (NYSE: DOV) manufactures engineered components and specialized equipment for numerous industries.

Why Do We Pass on DOV?

  1. Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
  2. Earnings growth over the last two years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 3.2% annually
  3. Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability

At $174.70 per share, Dover trades at 17.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including DOV in your portfolio.

Global Industrial (GIC)

Market Cap: $1.44 billion

Formerly known as Systemax, Global Industrial (NYSE: GIC) distributes industrial and commercial products to businesses and institutions.

Why Is GIC Risky?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 6.9% over the last two years was below our standards for the industrials sector
  2. Earnings per share fell by 2.3% annually over the last two years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Global Industrial is trading at $37.52 per share, or 21.7x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than GIC.

One Industrials Stock to Buy:

Graham Corporation (GHM)

Market Cap: $521.4 million

Founded when its founder patented a unique design for a vacuum system used in the sugar refining process, Graham (NYSE: GHM) provides vacuum and heat transfer equipment for the energy, petrochemical, refining, and chemical sectors.

Why Do We Love GHM?

  1. Average backlog growth of 21.7% over the past two years shows it has a steady sales pipeline that will drive future orders
  2. Operating profits and efficiency rose over the last five years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage
  3. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 145% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue

Graham Corporation’s stock price of $47.50 implies a valuation ratio of 27.3x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

High-Quality Stocks for All Market Conditions
