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 to Consider Right Now and 2 Facing Headwinds

PTC Cover Image

While profitability is essential, it doesn’t guarantee long-term success. Some companies that rest on their margins will lose ground as competition intensifies - as Jeff Bezos said, "Your margin is my opportunity".

Profits are valuable, but they’re not everything. At StockStory, we help you identify the companies that have real staying power. That said, here is one profitable company that generates reliable profits without sacrificing growth and two best left off your watchlist.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Wolverine Worldwide (WWW)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 7.4%

Founded in 1883, Wolverine Worldwide (NYSE: WWW) is a global footwear company with a diverse portfolio of brands including Merrell, Hush Puppies, and Saucony.

Why Is WWW Risky?

  1. Sales tumbled by 1.6% annually over the last five years, showing consumer trends are working against its favor
  2. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. Push for growth has led to negative returns on capital, signaling value destruction, and its falling returns suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

Wolverine Worldwide’s stock price of $31.53 implies a valuation ratio of 25x forward P/E. If you’re considering WWW for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Pitney Bowes (PBI)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 13.3%

With a century-long history dating back to 1920 and processing over 15 billion pieces of mail annually, Pitney Bowes (NYSE: PBI) provides shipping, mailing technology, logistics, and financial services to businesses of all sizes.

Why Are We Wary of PBI?

  1. Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 9.5% annually over the last five years
  2. Sales are projected to tank by 1.3% over the next 12 months as its demand continues evaporating
  3. 5× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly

At $11.90 per share, Pitney Bowes trades at 9.2x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with PBI, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Watch:

PTC (PTC)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 30%

Originally known as Parametric Technology Corporation until its 2013 rebranding, PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) provides software that helps manufacturers design, develop, and service physical products through digital solutions for CAD, PLM, ALM, and SLM.

Why Could PTC Be a Winner?

  1. Fast payback periods on sales and marketing expenses allow the company to invest heavily and onboard many customers concurrently
  2. Highly efficient business model is illustrated by its impressive 30% operating margin, and its rise over the last year was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 34.4% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently

PTC is trading at $204.11 per share, or 8.9x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
