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 Value Stock on Our Buy List and 2 That Underwhelm

GTLS Cover Image

Value investing has created more billionaires than any other strategy, like Warren Buffett, who built his fortune by purchasing wonderful businesses at reasonable prices. But these hidden gems are few and far between - many stocks that appear cheap often stay that way because they face structural issues.

Identifying genuine bargains from value traps is something many investors struggle with, which is why we started StockStory - to help you find the best companies. That said, here is one value stock with strong fundamentals and two best left ignored.

Two Value Stocks to Sell:

American Airlines (AAL)

Forward P/E Ratio: 8.3x

One of the ‘Big Four’ airlines in the US, American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) is a major global air carrier that serves both business and leisure travelers through its domestic and international flights.

Why Do We Pass on AAL?

  1. Demand for its offerings was relatively low as its number of revenue passenger miles has underwhelmed
  2. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities
  3. 6× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly

American Airlines’s stock price of $12.44 implies a valuation ratio of 8.3x forward P/E. If you’re considering AAL for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Affiliated Managers Group (AMG)

Forward P/E Ratio: 9.7x

Using a partnership approach that preserves entrepreneurial culture at its portfolio companies, Affiliated Managers Group (NYSE: AMG) is an investment firm that acquires stakes in boutique asset management companies while allowing them to maintain operational independence.

Why Do We Think Twice About AMG?

  1. Products and services are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat sales over the last five years
  2. Earnings growth over the last two years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 4.4% annually

Affiliated Managers Group is trading at $242.87 per share, or 9.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including AMG in your portfolio.

One Value Stock to Buy:

Chart (GTLS)

Forward P/E Ratio: 14.7x

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

Why Do We Love 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 grew by 28% annually over the last two years, massively outpacing its peers
  3. Free cash flow margin expanded by 9.6 percentage points over the last five years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends

At $199.49 per share, Chart trades at 14.7x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
