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 Unpopular Stock That Deserves a Second Chance and 2 We Avoid

TJX Cover Image

Wall Street’s bearish price targets for the stocks in this article signal serious concerns. Such forecasts are uncommon in an industry where maintaining cordial corporate relationships often trumps delivering the hard truth.

At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bearish calls are justified. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock poised to prove Wall Street wrong and two where the outlook is warranted.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Rockwell Automation (ROK)

Consensus Price Target: $349.04 (0.1% implied return)

One of the first companies to address industrial automation, Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) sells products that help customers extract more efficiency from their machinery.

Why Do We Avoid ROK?

  1. Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
  2. Performance over the past two years shows each sale was less profitable as its earnings per share dropped by 8.9% annually, worse than its revenue
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

At $348.56 per share, Rockwell Automation trades at 30.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including ROK in your portfolio.

NVR (NVR)

Consensus Price Target: $8,283 (1.3% implied return)

Known for its unique land acquisition strategy, NVR (NYSE: NVR) is a respected homebuilder and mortgage company in the United States.

Why Do We Think Twice About NVR?

  1. New orders were hard to come by as its average backlog growth of 1.3% over the past two years underwhelmed
  2. Forecasted revenue decline of 6.9% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall off a cliff
  3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

NVR’s stock price of $8,178 implies a valuation ratio of 19.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering NVR for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

TJX (TJX)

Consensus Price Target: $149.44 (6.7% implied return)

Initially based on a strategy of buying excess inventory from manufacturers or other retailers, TJX (NYSE: TJX) is an off-price retailer that sells brand-name apparel and other goods at prices much lower than department stores.

Why Is TJX on Our Radar?

  1. Brick-and-mortar locations are witnessing elevated demand as their same-store sales growth averaged 4.1% over the past two years
  2. Enormous revenue base of $57.93 billion compensates for its low gross margin and provides significant leverage in supplier negotiations
  3. Industry-leading 27.9% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments, and its returns are growing as it capitalizes on even better market opportunities

TJX is trading at $140 per share, or 30x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
