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 Momentum Stocks on Our Buy List and 1 We Question

LRN Cover Image

Each stock in this article is trading near its 52-week high. These elevated prices usually indicate some degree of investor confidence, business improvements, or favorable market conditions.

But not every company with momentum is a long-term winner, and plenty of investors have lost money betting on short-term fads. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks with lasting competitive advantages and one not so much.

One Stock to Sell:

AECOM (ACM)

One-Month Return: +14.8%

Founded in 1990 when a group of engineers from five companies decided to merge, AECOM (NYSE: ACM) provides various infrastructure consulting services.

Why Are We Cautious About ACM?

  1. Demand cratered as it couldn’t win new orders over the past two years, leading to an average 2% decline in its backlog
  2. High input costs result in an inferior gross margin of 6.6% that must be offset through higher volumes
  3. Subpar operating margin of 4.5% constrains its ability to invest in process improvements or effectively respond to new competitive threats

At $128.55 per share, AECOM trades at 23.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including ACM in your portfolio.

Two Stocks to Buy:

Stride (LRN)

One-Month Return: +26.6%

Formerly known as K12, Stride (NYSE: LRN) is an education technology company providing education solutions through digital platforms.

Why Will LRN Outperform?

  1. Number of enrollments has surged, pointing to elevated demand
  2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 56.8% over the last two years outstripped its revenue performance
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 8.6 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

Stride is trading at $165 per share, or 20.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

S&P Global (SPGI)

One-Month Return: -2.6%

Tracing its roots back to 1860 when it published the first railroad industry manual, S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) provides credit ratings, market intelligence, commodity data, automotive analytics, and financial indices that help investors and businesses make decisions.

Why Is SPGI a Top Pick?

  1. Solid 13% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates its offering’s solve complex business issues
  2. Performance over the past two years was boosted by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
  3. Market-beating return on equity illustrates that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures

S&P Global’s stock price of $548.65 implies a valuation ratio of 31.5x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
