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.

Louisiana Retiree Repairs Leaky Roof with SNAP Subsidy

Origin Bank and FHLB Dallas Partner to Provide Funds

Dorothy Johnson, 72, knows all too well the stress of a leaky roof during a rainstorm. And being on dialysis treatment only compounded her worry.

Ms. Johnson endured many storms with water streaming through her ceiling into her home until a $4,784 Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) subsidy from Origin Bancorp, Inc. (Origin Bank) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) funded a full roof replacement.

“Because of the SNAP subsidy, my mom is now comfortable in her own home whenever it rains, and she no longer has to worry about what to do if rain leaks through the ceiling,” said Kimberly Johnson, Ms. Johnson’s daughter.

Ms. Johnson – who has lived in her home for 52 years – learned about SNAP through her brother who received a subsidy several years ago. He connected her with Shelia Grayson, vice president, CRA and community development officer, at Origin Bank.

“It’s rewarding to be able to provide this assistance to people such as Ms. Johnson through SNAP,” Ms. Grayson said. “The funds are an invaluable benefit for qualifying homeowners in need of help with repairs and improvements.”

Through member institutions such as Origin 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 (AHP) 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.

“We’re grateful to work with Origin Bank to make these funds available to Ms. Johnson and to help people in the communities it serves, one homeowner at a time,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
