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 Volatile Stocks on Our Watchlist and 1 That Underwhelm

AMD Cover Image

Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.

These stocks can be a rollercoaster, and StockStory is here to guide you through the ups and downs. Keeping that in mind, here are two volatile stocks that could deliver huge gains and one best left to the gamblers.

One Stock to Sell:

Envista (NVST)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.16

Uniting more than 30 trusted brands including Nobel Biocare, Ormco, and DEXIS under one corporate umbrella, Envista Holdings (NYSE: NVST) is a global dental products company that provides equipment, consumables, and specialized technologies for dental professionals.

Why Do We Steer Clear of NVST?

  1. Constant currency growth was below our standards over the past two years, suggesting it might need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
  2. Negative returns on capital show that some of its growth strategies have backfired, and its decreasing returns suggest its historical profit centers are aging
  3. Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results

Envista is trading at $21.32 per share, or 19x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with NVST, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Stocks to Watch:

AMD (AMD)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.97

Founded in 1969 by a group of former Fairchild semiconductor executives led by Jerry Sanders, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) is one of the leading designers of computer processors and graphics chips used in PCs and data centers.

Why Are We Positive On AMD?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 16.3% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Projected revenue growth of 22.6% for the next 12 months is above its two-year trend, pointing to accelerating demand
  3. Earnings per share grew by 32% annually over the last five years and easily exceeded the peer group average

At $150.01 per share, AMD trades at 30.1x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.

Broadcom (AVGO)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.30

Originally the semiconductor division of Hewlett Packard, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) is a semiconductor conglomerate spanning wireless communications, networking, and data storage as well as infrastructure software focused on mainframes and cybersecurity.

Why Will AVGO Outperform?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 30% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Offerings are difficult to replicate at scale and result in a best-in-class gross margin of 76.1%
  3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends

Broadcom’s stock price of $332.41 implies a valuation ratio of 43.2x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
