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 Large-Cap Stocks to Keep an Eye On and 1 We Question

LRCX Cover Image

Large-cap stocks have the power to shape entire industries thanks to their size and widespread influence. With such vast footprints, however, finding new areas for growth is much harder than for smaller, more agile players.

These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you find high-quality companies that can grow their earnings no matter what. That said, here are two large-cap stocks with attractive long-term potential and one whose existing offerings may be tapped out.

One Large-Cap Stock to Sell:

Hershey (HSY)

Market Cap: $37.56 billion

Best known for its milk chocolate bar and Hershey's Kisses, Hershey (NYSE: HSY) is an iconic company known for its chocolate products.

Why Do We Think Twice About HSY?

  1. Declining unit sales over the past two years imply it may need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
  2. Efficiency has decreased over the last year as its operating margin fell by 4.4 percentage points
  3. Earnings per share were flat over the last three years and fell short of the peer group average

Hershey is trading at $185.36 per share, or 32.7x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why HSY doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Large-Cap Stocks to Watch:

Lam Research (LRCX)

Market Cap: $161.6 billion

Founded in 1980 by David Lam, the man who pioneered semiconductor etching technology, Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX) is one of the leading providers of wafer fabrication equipment used to make semiconductors.

Why Could LRCX Be a Winner?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 12.9% over the last five years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Free cash flow margin jumped by 7.2 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends
  3. Industry-leading 64.1% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments

Lam Research’s stock price of $128.13 implies a valuation ratio of 31.7x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Ross Stores (ROST)

Market Cap: $48.61 billion

Selling excess inventory or overstocked items from other retailers, Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) is an off-price concept that sells apparel and other goods at prices much lower than department stores.

Why Does ROST Stand Out?

  1. Rapid rollout of new stores to capitalize on market opportunities makes sense given its strong same-store sales performance
  2. Locations open for at least a year are seeing increased demand as same-store sales have averaged 3.1% growth over the past two years
  3. Industry-leading 29.6% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments

At $149.39 per share, Ross Stores trades at 22.9x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
