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.

Ozanam Inn, in operation since 1955 in New Orleans, Louisiana, had been serving the homeless and underprivileged in a building owned by St. Vincent de Paul at 843 Camp Street until recently when it undertook a $5 million project to buy and retrofit a building it purchased at 2239 Poydras Street. The AHP funds will offset cost of the retrofit, said Renée Blanche, deputy director/director of development for Ozanam Inn.

Ozanam Inn moved into the building in November and in early December began accepting women for overnight stays and into its residential program, something it wasn’t able to do in its prior building, due to space constraints, she said. The renovations are mostly complete and included adding a commercial kitchen, showers to the second floor and new plumbing.

“The AHP funding means we can close the gap on what is needed to complete our fundraising for the Ozanam Inn renovation and allows us to channel other contributions into our operation and our services,” Ms. Blanche said. “We are humbled and honored by this funding and the faith put in us by FHLB Dallas and Fifth District.”

Brian North, president and CEO at Fifth District, said the AHP allows the bank to assist community organizations that are making a positive difference.

“Ozanam Inn offers a wide variety of social services to help people get back on their feet, from basic shelter to case management that includes helping people obtain lost documents, gain employment skills and learn money management,” he said. “We are honored to be a partner with FHLB Dallas to provide funds to Ozanam Inn.”

AHP funds are intended to assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and/or rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the median income for the area.

For 2021, FHLB Dallas awarded $18.5 million in subsidies to 26 affordable housing projects. The subsidies will help create 2,113 new or rehabilitated housing units, including $3 million for 323 units in Louisiana.

Between 1990 and 2020, FHLB Dallas has awarded more than $323 million in AHP and Homeownership Set-Aside Programs and has assisted more than 57,000 households.

Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, said assisting homeless shelters is just one way that AHP funding has been used.

“In an ideal world, there would be no homelessness but, because it is such a complex problem, we are thankful to have organizations such as Ozanam Inn to provide assistance to people in need and members like Fifth District who step up to be a financial partner through the AHP,” Mr. Hettrick said.
