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.

AIME and UWM Announce Joint Advocacy Success, Florida’s Hometown Heroes Program is Now Wholesale

By: via Business Wire

A Landmark Win for Independent Mortgage Brokers and Homebuyers in Florida, and a Trend for Positive Change to Come for the Wholesale Channel

A huge victory for independent mortgage brokers – the Florida Hometown Heroes Down Payment Assistance Program has been amended to include Third-Party Originators. Over 10,000 independent mortgage brokers in Florida now have access to offer loans under the program, due to the joint advocacy efforts of the Association of Independent Mortgage Experts (AIME) and United Wholesale Mortgage, the number one mortgage lender in America.

“This is just the beginning for the positive changes spearheaded by AIME’s advocacy efforts in partnership with UWM’s Government Relations Team,” announces Katie Sweeney, CEO of AIME. “This isn’t just a win for Florida – it’s a win for independent mortgage brokers everywhere. Our community will continue to gain more wins throughout the country with AIME’s advocacy efforts to level the playing field between the retail and wholesale channels.”

When the Florida Hometown Heroes program was announced earlier this year, Florida’s essential workers did not have the choice to be serviced by third-party originators, limited homebuyers access to much needed mortgage expertise and funding opportunities. This program makes homeownership more accessible and affordable for frontline community members and workers, such as teachers, law enforcement, firefighters, active military service members and Veterans, and other public service workers, excluding third-party originators servicing their communities through the program.

“For too long independent mortgage brokers have been unable to offer consumers state-funded Down Payment Assistance programs,” says Brendan McKay, President of Advocacy at AIME. “Previously, homebuyers leveraging Hometown Heroes could not also take advantage of the savings mortgage brokers are able to offer, and AIME is excited that this is no longer the case, and we look forward to working with other states to make this same adjustment.”

“It’s a winning program,” states Mat Ishbia, President and CEO of UWM. “Brokers and borrowers nationwide should care about this because it could be coming to your state soon. And it shows that UWM and AIME together are always willing to go to bat for the mortgage broker community.” This joint effort has established UWM as the first-ever wholesale lender to offer the Hometown Heroes Housing Program to eligible broker shops and loan officers in Florida. Through this program, income-qualified, first-time homebuyers receive up to 5% of their first loan amount to use for down payments and to assist with closing costs. This will give many thousands of homebuyers and mortgage broker clients more homebuying options, and in many cases, the opportunity to make homeownership possible.

This is just the start for AIME, which is continuing its ongoing advocacy efforts for expanded independent mortgage broker access to similar housing programs in other states, as well as efforts for Black, Hispanic, Minority, and Veteran homeownership. AIME’s Broker Action Coalition (BAC), the Association’s advocacy arm, will continue its campaigns and efforts to close the gaps between retail and wholesale mortgage channels, to level the playing field by granting mortgage brokers equal access to resources and programs previously exclusive to retail.
