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.

Arkansas Woman in Need Receives Subsidy for Home Repairs

Citizens Bank and FHLB Dallas Assist Homeowner

Living on a fixed disability income, 60-year-old Frances Johnson does her best to cover her expenses, but it has been difficult for her to afford necessary repairs for her Carthage, Arkansas, home.

Fortunately, Ms. Johnson applied for and was awarded a $5,418 Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) subsidy through Citizens Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas). The subsidy helped repaint her interior walls and remove mold that was caused by a leak several years ago. She was also able to replace some corroded bathroom fixtures.

“There were several things I needed to get done, and SNAP helped make it happen,” said Ms. Johnson. “Being on a fixed income, I didn’t want to worry about taking out a loan to fund these repairs.”

Chris Lampkin, market president, Southeast Arkansas at Citizens Bank, helped Ms. Johnson apply for the subsidy and commended the program.

“Programs such as SNAP help community banks like us create such a lasting impact on older and disabled adults, many of whom we consider our neighbors,” said Mr. Lampkin. “I appreciate the partnership we have with FHLB Dallas to make these subsidies available to our community. We also want to acknowledge the support and participation our dedicated city property inspection managers put in to facilitate this process.”

Through member institutions such as Citizens Bank, SNAP provides subsidies for the repair and rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing of eligible, special-needs individuals. The maximum SNAP award per household is $6,000 unless the member or another lender contributes $350 toward the rehabilitation costs and/or inspection fees. Then the maximum award per household is $7,000.

FHLB Dallas set aside $2.5 million of its 2021 Affordable Housing Program funds for SNAP, and all SNAP funds were allocated in January for the highly sought-after program. Last year, FHLB Dallas awarded $2.5 million in SNAP subsidies that assisted 421 families. Since the program’s 2009 inception, nearly $20.5 million in funding has been awarded across FHLB Dallas’ five-state District.

“Taking out a loan to make repairs can be challenging for individuals on fixed incomes,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “We are pleased to partner with Citizens Bank to provide assistance to Ms. Johnson to make needed repairs to her home.”
