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 Momentum Stock Worth Your Attention and 2 Facing Challenges

HAS Cover Image

The stocks in this article are all trading near their 52-week highs. This strength often reflects positive developments such as new product launches, favorable industry trends, or improved financial performance.

While momentum can be a leading indicator, it has burned many investors as it doesn’t always correlate with long-term success. On that note, here is one stock with lasting competitive advantages and two that may correct.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Hasbro (HAS)

One-Month Return: +1.8%

Credited with the creation of toys such as Mr. Potato Head and the Rubik’s Cube, Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS) is a global entertainment company offering a diverse range of toys, games, and multimedia experiences for children and families.

Why Are We Out on HAS?

  1. Sales tumbled by 3.1% annually over the last five years, showing consumer trends are working against its favor
  2. Persistent operating margin losses suggest the business manages its expenses poorly
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

Hasbro’s stock price of $78.95 implies a valuation ratio of 17.2x forward P/E. If you’re considering HAS for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Radian Group (RDN)

One-Month Return: +1.9%

Founded during the housing boom of 1977 and weathering multiple real estate cycles since, Radian Group (NYSE: RDN) provides mortgage insurance and real estate services, helping lenders manage risk and homebuyers achieve affordable homeownership.

Why Does RDN Fall Short?

  1. Insurance offerings face significant market challenges this cycle as net premiums earned contracted by 3% annually over the last five years
  2. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last two years, causing its combined ratio to worsen by 23.4 percentage points
  3. Incremental sales over the last two years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 1.5% annually while its revenue grew

At $34.83 per share, Radian Group trades at 1x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than RDN.

One Stock to Watch:

Xylem (XYL)

One-Month Return: -4.3%

Formed through a spinoff, Xylem (NYSE: XYL) manufactures and services engineered products across a wide variety of applications primarily in the water sector.

Why Do We Like XYL?

  1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 20.1% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
  2. Offerings are mission-critical for businesses and lead to a stellar gross margin of 37.6%
  3. Earnings per share grew by 15.9% annually over the last two years, massively outpacing its peers

Xylem is trading at $136.77 per share, or 28.4x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
