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 Worth Your Attention and 2 We Question

LEVI Cover Image

Not all profitable companies are built to last - some rely on outdated models or unsustainable advantages. Just because a business is in the green today doesn’t mean it will thrive tomorrow.

A business making money today isn’t necessarily a winner, which is why we analyze companies across multiple dimensions at StockStory. Keeping that in mind, here is one profitable company that leverages its financial strength to beat the competition and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Levi's (LEVI)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 8.8%

Credited for inventing the first pair of blue jeans in 1873, Levi's (NYSE: LEVI) is an apparel company renowned for its iconic denim products and classic American style.

Why Are We Out on LEVI?

  1. Constant currency revenue growth has disappointed over the past two years and shows demand was soft
  2. Anticipated sales growth of 2.6% for the next year implies demand will be shaky
  3. Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results

Levi’s stock price of $22.40 implies a valuation ratio of 17.7x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than LEVI.

Allstate (ALL)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 9.6%

Born from a Sears, Roebuck & Co. initiative during the Great Depression with its famous "You're in good hands" slogan, Allstate (NYSE: ALL) is one of America's largest personal property and casualty insurers, offering protection for autos, homes, and personal property.

Why Do We Think Twice About ALL?

  1. Estimated sales growth of 4.1% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
  2. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last four years, causing its combined ratio to worsen by 4.8 percentage points
  3. Book value per share stagnated over the last five years, limiting its ability to leverage its balance sheet to make additional investments

At $196 per share, Allstate trades at 2.3x forward P/B. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ALL doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Buy:

Synchrony Financial (SYF)

Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 29.6%

Powering over 73 million active accounts and partnerships with major brands like Amazon, PayPal, and Lowe's, Synchrony Financial (NYSE: SYF) provides credit cards, installment loans, and banking products through partnerships with retailers, healthcare providers, and digital platforms.

Why Will SYF Beat the Market?

  1. Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 23.8%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last five years
  2. Annual tangible book value per share growth of 21.7% over the last two years was superb and indicates its capital strength increased during this cycle
  3. Market-beating return on equity illustrates that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures

Synchrony Financial is trading at $75.70 per share, or 8.7x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
