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 Cash-Producing Stocks on Our Watchlist and 1 We Find Risky

ANF Cover Image

While strong cash flow is a key indicator of stability, it doesn’t always translate to superior returns. Some cash-heavy businesses struggle with inefficient spending, slowing demand, or weak competitive positioning.

Not all companies are created equal, and StockStory is here to surface the ones with real upside. That said, here are two cash-producing companies that excel at turning cash into shareholder value and one best left off your watchlist.

One Stock to Sell:

Lamb Weston (LW)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 3.6%

Best known for its Grown in Idaho brand, Lamb Weston (NYSE: LW) produces and distributes potato products such as frozen french fries and mashed potatoes.

Why Does LW Worry Us?

  1. Projected sales are flat for the next 12 months, implying demand will slow from its three-year trend
  2. Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last year as its operating margin fell by 6.2 percentage points
  3. Poor free cash flow margin of 0.8% for the last two years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends

At $56.55 per share, Lamb Weston trades at 16.4x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with LW, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Stocks to Watch:

Abercrombie and Fitch (ANF)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 6.8%

Founded as an outdoor and sporting brand, Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) evolved to become a specialty retailer that sells its own brand of fashionable clothing to young adults.

Why Are We Positive On ANF?

  1. Comparable store sales rose by 13.5% on average over the past two years, demonstrating its ability to drive increased spending at existing locations
  2. Unique assortment of products and pricing power lead to a best-in-class gross margin of 63.6%
  3. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last six years, increasing by 48.1% annually

Abercrombie and Fitch’s stock price of $93.10 implies a valuation ratio of 9.1x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

With a 50-year legacy of "Leading with Science" and operations on all seven continents, Tetra Tech (NASDAQ: TTEK) provides high-end consulting and engineering services focused on water management, environmental solutions, and sustainable infrastructure for government and commercial clients worldwide.

Why Do We Like TTEK?

  1. Impressive 15.8% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Average backlog growth of 10.2% over the past two years shows it has a steady sales pipeline that will drive future orders
  3. Robust free cash flow margin of 9.8% gives it many options for capital deployment
