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 Large-Cap Stock on Our Buy List and 2 Facing Headwinds

DELL Cover Image

Large-cap stocks have the power to shape entire industries thanks to their size and widespread influence. With such vast footprints, however, finding new areas for growth is much harder than for smaller, more agile players.

This dynamic can trouble even the most skilled investors, but luckily for you, we started StockStory to help you navigate these trade-offs and uncover exceptional companies that break the mold. That said, here is one large-cap stock with attractive long-term potential and two whose momentum may slow.

Two Large-Cap Stocks to Sell:

Dell (DELL)

Market Cap: $84.3 billion

Founded by Michael Dell in his University of Texas dorm room in 1984 with just $1,000, Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) provides hardware, software, and services that help organizations build their IT infrastructure, manage cloud environments, and enable digital transformation.

Why Does DELL Fall Short?

  1. Sizable revenue base leads to growth challenges as its 2.9% annual revenue increases over the last five years fell short of other business services companies
  2. Customers were hesitant to make long-term commitments to its offerings as its 3.6% average ARR growth over the past two years was sluggish
  3. Free cash flow margin shrank by 6.6 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

Dell’s stock price of $125.84 implies a valuation ratio of 12.1x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why DELL doesn’t pass our bar.

GE HealthCare (GEHC)

Market Cap: $35.59 billion

Spun off from industrial giant General Electric in 2023 after over a century as its healthcare division, GE HealthCare (NASDAQ: GEHC) provides medical imaging equipment, patient monitoring systems, diagnostic pharmaceuticals, and AI-enabled healthcare solutions to hospitals and clinics worldwide.

Why Are We Wary of GEHC?

  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. Performance over the past four years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 3.7% annually
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 9.6 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

GE HealthCare is trading at $77.80 per share, or 18.9x forward P/E. If you’re considering GEHC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Large-Cap Stock to Buy:

Moody's (MCO)

Market Cap: $93.05 billion

Founded in 1900 during America's railroad boom when investors needed reliable information on bond risks, Moody's (NYSE: MCO) provides credit ratings, risk assessment tools, and analytical solutions that help organizations evaluate financial risks and make informed investment decisions.

Why Will MCO Beat the Market?

  1. Impressive 15% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 23%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last two years
  3. Industry-leading 67% return on equity demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments

At $518.01 per share, Moody's trades at 35.5x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
