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 Worth Your Attention and 1 We Brush Off

CMG 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 that may struggle to keep up.

One Stock to Sell:

Charles River Laboratories (CRL)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 14.4%

Named after the Massachusetts river where it was founded in 1947, Charles River Laboratories (NYSE: CRL) provides non-clinical drug development services, research models, and manufacturing support to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

Why Are We Cautious About CRL?

  1. Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
  2. Sales are projected to be flat over the next 12 months and imply weak demand
  3. Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value

Charles River Laboratories’s stock price of $162 implies a valuation ratio of 16.2x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than CRL.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Chipotle (CMG)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 12.7%

Born from a desire to offer quick meals with fresh, flavorful ingredients, Chipotle (NYSE: CMG) is a fast-food chain known for its healthy, Mexican-inspired cuisine and customizable dishes.

Why Will CMG Beat the Market?

  1. Offensive push to build new restaurants and attack its untapped market opportunities is backed by its same-store sales growth
  2. Average same-store sales growth of 4.8% over the past two years indicates its restaurants are resonating with diners
  3. Dominant market position is represented by its $11.58 billion in revenue and gives it fixed cost leverage when sales grow

Chipotle is trading at $39.64 per share, or 30.2x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

PayPal (PYPL)

Trailing 12-Month Free Cash Flow Margin: 17.6%

Originally spun off from eBay in 2015 after being acquired by the auction giant in 2002, PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) operates a global digital payments platform that enables consumers and merchants to send, receive, and process payments online and in person.

Why Does PYPL Stand Out?

  1. 10.9% annual revenue growth over the last five years was better than the sector average, highlighting the value of its products and services
  2. Share repurchases have increased shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 12.6% exceeded its revenue gains over the last two years
  3. ROE punches in at 20%, illustrating management’s expertise in identifying profitable investments

At $68.45 per share, PayPal trades at 13.1x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
