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 Cash-Producing Stock Worth Investigating and 2 We Question

TWLO Cover Image

A company that generates cash isn’t automatically a winner. Some businesses stockpile cash but fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their ability to expand.

Not all companies are created equal, and StockStory is here to surface the ones with real upside. Keeping that in mind, here is one cash-producing company that reinvests wisely to drive long-term success and two that may struggle to keep up.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Twilio (TWLO)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 15.3%

Known for the clever "Twilio Magic" demo that had developers creating functioning communications apps in minutes, Twilio (NYSE: TWLO) provides a platform that enables businesses to communicate with their customers through voice, messaging, email, and other digital channels.

Why Does TWLO Give Us Pause?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 11.6% over the last three years was below our standards for the software sector
  2. Estimated sales growth of 8.5% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
  3. Gross margin of 50% is way below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in areas like marketing and R&D

At $104.43 per share, Twilio trades at 3.3x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering TWLO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Charter (CHTR)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 9.4%

Operating as Spectrum, Charter (NASDAQ: CHTR) is a leading telecommunications company offering cable television, high-speed internet, and voice services across the United States.

Why Are We Cautious About CHTR?

  1. Performance surrounding its internet subscribers has lagged its peers
  2. Demand will likely be weak over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
  3. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities

Charter’s stock price of $260.09 implies a valuation ratio of 6.3x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with CHTR, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Watch:

Paycom (PAYC)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 18.3%

Pioneering the concept of employees doing their own payroll with its "Beti" technology, Paycom (NYSE: PAYC) provides cloud-based human capital management software that helps businesses manage the entire employment lifecycle from recruitment to retirement.

Why Could PAYC Be a Winner?

  1. Software is difficult to replicate at scale and results in a best-in-class gross margin of 86.2%
  2. User-friendly software enables clients to ramp up spending quickly, leading to the speedy recovery of customer acquisition costs
  3. Healthy operating margin of 28.1% shows it’s a well-run company with efficient processes

Paycom is trading at $218.76 per share, or 5.7x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
