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.

Garland Veteran Receives $7K to Repair Aging Home

Veritex Community Bank and FHLB Dallas Award SNAP Funds

A $7,000 Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) subsidy from Veritex Community Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) funded the repair of Army veteran Robert Young’s home. The subsidy funded the addition of a new ramp as well as repairs to the existing siding of the home, windows and doors. It also provided funding for insulation throughout the house.

Mr. Young served in the U.S. Army for 10 years and later worked for an entity that helped people with disabilities get jobs until he recently retired. He and his wife have lived in their home for 17 years. Built in 1944, the wood within the home began to rot and insulation issues made it hard to protect him and his wife from outside temperatures.

Mr. Young learned about SNAP through an internet search for veterans and people with disabilities. He found the program online and applied through FHLB Dallas member Veritex Community Bank.

“I am so thankful. There are not strong enough words to express the gratitude I have for everything that was done,” said Mr. Young. “It has renewed my home for years to come.”

Through member institutions such as Veritex Community 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.

“SNAP has the ability to help veteran homeowners such as Mr. Young,” said Melanie Goodman, Community Reinvestment Act officer at Veritex Community Bank. “This program is crucial for our community.”

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.

“Partners such as Veritex Community Bank make the SNAP subsidy a success,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “We are honored to keep working alongside member banks to provide such valuable programs.”
