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 Safe-and-Steady Stock to Target This Week and 2 Facing Challenges

VITL Cover Image

Low-volatility stocks may offer stability, but that often comes at the cost of slower growth and the upside potential of more dynamic companies.

Luckily for you, StockStory helps you navigate which companies are truly worth holding. That said, here is one low-volatility stock that could offer consistent gains and two that may not deliver the returns you need.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Comcast (CMCSA)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.55

Formerly known as American Cable Systems, Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) is a multinational telecommunications company offering a wide range of services.

Why Do We Pass on CMCSA?

  1. Number of domestic broadband customers has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings
  2. Demand will likely be soft over the next 12 months as Wall Street’s estimates imply tepid growth of 2.1%
  3. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities

Comcast is trading at $31.70 per share, or 7.1x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why CMCSA doesn’t pass our bar.

Stewart Information Services (STC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.76

Founded in 1893 during America's westward expansion when property records were often disputed, Stewart Information Services (NYSE: STC) provides title insurance and real estate services, helping homebuyers, sellers, and lenders verify property ownership and protect against title defects.

Why Does STC Fall Short?

  1. Sluggish 1.3% annualized growth in net premiums earned over the last two years indicates the firm trailed its insurance peers
  2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 1% annually
  3. Capital trends were unexciting over the last two years as its 1.6% annual book value per share growth was below the typical insurance firm

At $73.25 per share, Stewart Information Services trades at 1.4x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than STC.

One Stock to Buy:

Vital Farms (VITL)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.53

With an emphasis on ethically produced products, Vital Farms (NASDAQ: VITL) specializes in pasture-raised eggs and butter.

Why Should You Buy VITL?

  1. Unit sales were phenomenal over the past two years, showing demand is robust and retailers can’t stock enough of its products
  2. Exciting sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months calls for 31.3% growth, an acceleration from its three-year trend
  3. Earnings per share grew by 109% annually over the last three years, massively outpacing its peers

Vital Farms’s stock price of $41.46 implies a valuation ratio of 29x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
