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.

2 Profitable Stocks for Long-Term Investors and 1 We Turn Down

GTLS Cover Image

Even if a company is profitable, it doesn’t always mean it’s a great investment. Some struggle to maintain growth, face looming threats, or fail to reinvest wisely, limiting their future potential.

Not all profitable companies are created equal, and that’s why we built StockStory - to help you find the ones that truly shine bright. That said, here are two profitable companies that leverage their financial strength to beat the competition and one that may face some trouble.

One Industrials Stock to Sell:

Sherwin-Williams (SHW)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 16%

Widely known for its success in the paint industry, Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) is a manufacturer of paints, coatings, and related products.

Why Does SHW Give Us Pause?

  1. Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth
  2. Estimated sales growth of 2.5% for the next 12 months is soft and implies weaker demand
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 7.6 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

Sherwin-Williams is trading at $357.08 per share, or 28.4x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than SHW.

Two Industrials Stocks to Watch:

Chart (GTLS)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 16.2%

Installing the first bulk Co2 tank for McDonalds’s sodas, Chart (NYSE: GTLS) provides equipment to store and transport gasses.

Why Are We Bullish on GTLS?

  1. Demand is greater than supply as the company’s 31.9% average backlog growth over the past two years shows it’s securing new contracts and accumulating more orders than it can fulfill
  2. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last two years, increasing by 28% annually
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 9.6 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

At $199.80 per share, Chart trades at 14.7x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Granite Construction (GVA)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 5.6%

Having played a role in the construction of the Hoover Dam, Granite Construction (NYSE: GVA) is a provider of infrastructure solutions for roads, bridges, and other projects.

Why Do We Like GVA?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 11.9% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 42% over the last two years outstripped its revenue performance
  3. Returns on capital are increasing as management’s prior bets are starting to bear fruit

Granite Construction’s stock price of $109.37 implies a valuation ratio of 17.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
