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 Cash-Producing Stock to Target This Week and 2 We Turn Down

HAS Cover Image

Generating cash is essential for any business, but not all cash-rich companies are great investments. Some produce plenty of cash but fail to allocate it effectively, leading to missed opportunities.

Not all companies are created equal, and StockStory is here to surface the ones with real upside. That said, here is one cash-producing company that reinvests wisely to drive long-term success and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Hasbro (HAS)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 11.8%

Credited with the creation of toys such as Mr. Potato Head and the Rubik’s Cube, Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS) is a global entertainment company offering a diverse range of toys, games, and multimedia experiences for children and families.

Why Do We Think HAS Will Underperform?

  1. Products and services have few die-hard fans as sales have declined by 3.1% annually over the last five years
  2. Historical operating margin losses point to an inefficient cost structure
  3. Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions

At $75.07 per share, Hasbro trades at 16.4x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why HAS doesn’t pass our bar.

MSCI (MSCI)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 45.5%

Originally known as Morgan Stanley Capital International before becoming independent in 2007, MSCI (NYSE: MSCI) provides critical decision support tools, indexes, and analytics that help global investors understand risk and return factors and build more effective investment portfolios.

Why Do We Think Twice About MSCI?

  1. Negative return on equity shows that some of its growth strategies have backfired

MSCI is trading at $568.06 per share, or 31.6x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than MSCI.

One Stock to Watch:

ResMed (RMD)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 32.3%

Founded in 1989 to address the then-underdiagnosed condition of sleep apnea, ResMed (NYSE: RMD) develops cloud-connected medical devices and software solutions that treat sleep apnea, COPD, and other respiratory disorders for home and clinical use.

Why Does RMD Stand Out?

  1. Business is well-positioned no matter the global macroeconomic backdrop as its constant currency revenue growth averaged 10.3% over the past two years
  2. Incremental sales over the last five years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 14.9% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 12.5 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

ResMed’s stock price of $274.41 implies a valuation ratio of 26.4x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

High-Quality Stocks for All Market Conditions

When Trump unveiled his aggressive tariff plan in April 2025, markets tanked as investors feared a full-blown trade war. But those who panicked and sold missed the subsequent rebound that’s already erased most losses.
