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 S&P 500 Stock on Our Buy List and 2 We Turn Down

TDG Cover Image

The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is often seen as a benchmark for strong businesses, but that doesn’t mean every stock is worth owning. Some companies face significant challenges, whether it’s stagnating growth, heavy debt, or disruptive new competitors.

Some large-cap stocks are past their peak, and StockStory is here to help you separate the winners from the laggards. That said, here is one S&P 500 stock that is leading the market forward and two that could be in trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

IDEX (IEX)

Market Cap: $12.09 billion

Founded in 1988, IDEX (NYSE: IEX) is a global manufacturer specializing in highly engineered products such as pumps, flow meters, and fluidics systems for various industries.

Why Should You Sell IEX?

  1. Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth
  2. Sales over the last two years were less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 4% annually while its revenue was flat
  3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

IDEX is trading at $160.60 per share, or 18.8x forward P/E. If you’re considering IEX for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Regeneron (REGN)

Market Cap: $61.76 billion

Founded by scientists who wanted to build a company where science could thrive, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) develops and commercializes medicines for serious diseases, with key products treating eye conditions, allergic diseases, cancer, and other disorders.

Why Do We Think Twice About REGN?

  1. Sizable revenue base leads to growth challenges as its 5.9% annual revenue increases over the last two years fell short of other healthcare companies
  2. Efficiency has decreased over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 21.4 percentage points
  3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

At $598.01 per share, Regeneron trades at 16.4x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including REGN in your portfolio.

One Stock to Buy:

TransDigm (TDG)

Market Cap: $72.99 billion

Supplying parts for nearly all aircraft currently in service, TransDigm (NYSE: TDG) develops and manufactures components and systems for military and commercial aviation.

Why Will TDG Beat the Market?

  1. Core business can prosper without any help from acquisitions as its organic revenue growth averaged 13% over the past two years
  2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 24.9% over the last two years outstripped its revenue performance
  3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends, and its rising cash conversion increases its margin of safety

TransDigm’s stock price of $1,295 implies a valuation ratio of 30.8x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
