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 Mid-Cap Stock to Target This Week and 2 Facing Challenges

CHD Cover Image

Mid-cap stocks have the best odds of scaling into $100 billion corporations thanks to their tested business models and large addressable markets. But the many opportunities in front of them attract significant competition, spanning from industry behemoths with seemingly infinite resources to small, nimble players with chips on their shoulders.

These dynamics can rattle even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. That said, here is one mid-cap stock with huge upside potential and two that may have trouble.

Two Mid-Cap Stocks to Sell:

Church & Dwight (CHD)

Market Cap: $20.99 billion

Best known for its Arm & Hammer baking soda, Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD) is a household and personal care products company with a vast portfolio that spans laundry detergent to toothbrushes to hair removal creams.

Why Do We Think Twice About CHD?

  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. Anticipated sales growth of 3.5% for the next year implies demand will be shaky
  3. Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last year, causing its operating margin to decline by 6.7 percentage points

Church & Dwight’s stock price of $86.27 implies a valuation ratio of 24x forward P/E. If you’re considering CHD for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

AECOM (ACM)

Market Cap: $17.2 billion

Founded in 1990 when a group of engineers from five companies decided to merge, AECOM (NYSE: ACM) provides various infrastructure consulting services.

Why Are We Cautious About ACM?

  1. Sales pipeline suggests its future revenue growth won’t meet our standards as its backlog averaged 2% declines over the past two years
  2. Gross margin of 6.6% reflects its high production costs
  3. Poor expense management has led to an operating margin of 4.5% that is below the industry average

AECOM is trading at $130.27 per share, or 24.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than ACM.

One Mid-Cap Stock to Buy:

Pure Storage (PSTG)

Market Cap: $27.25 billion

Founded in 2009 as a pioneer in enterprise all-flash storage technology, Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG) provides all-flash data storage hardware and software that helps organizations manage their data more efficiently across on-premises and cloud environments.

Why Is PSTG a Good Business?

  1. ARR growth averaged 22.4% over the past two years, showing customers are willing to take multi-year bets on its offerings
  2. Incremental sales over the last five years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 33.1% annually, topping its revenue gains
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 17.4% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently, and its growing cash flow gives it even more resources to deploy

At $83.49 per share, Pure Storage trades at 40.6x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
