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.

Building Blocks Awarded $750K from Home Bank and FHLB Dallas

AHP to Help Fund The Liberty at St. Bernard for Working Older Adults

Home Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) awarded a $750,000 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) subsidy to Building Blocks to help build an $18.6 million affordable apartment complex called The Liberty at St. Bernard in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Liberty Bank and Trust Co.’s (Liberty Bank) nonprofit development arm, Liberty Bank Community Development Corp. (Liberty Bank CDC), will partner with Minneapolis, Minnesota-based nonprofit Building Blocks to build the apartments, said Jaimmé Collins, general counsel and senior vice president of strategic initiatives at Liberty Bank, which donated the property.

The apartment community will be located along St. Bernard Avenue and will contain 62 rental units. Construction is expected to begin sometime during the first half of this year and take about two years, Ms. Collins said. The development will include services such as onsite visits from dentists, barbers and beauticians as well as empowerment and activity programs such as financial literacy, GED classes and dance lessons.

“The AHP funding was a vital piece in moving this development forward,” Ms. Collins said. “Receiving the AHP award brings us closer to providing this vital housing need to the community, and it is a marquee strategic initiative for us, as a bank, in our mission to continue serving Black and Brown people.”

Home Bank has supported dozens of affordable housing developments through the AHP over the years, said Kelvin Luster, Home Bank senior vice president and community development director.

“Building Blocks is nationally recognized for urban revitalization, and Liberty Bank CDC has respected local ties, so supporting their combined effort was a win-win,” he said. “We can’t wait to see the development unfold.”

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.

In 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 2021, FHLB Dallas has awarded $344.6 million in AHP and Homeownership Set-Aside Programs and has assisted nearly 60,000 households.

Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, said Home Bank’s support of this project illustrates how AHP funding can improve the lives of community residents through safe and affordable housing.

“Home Bank’s commitment to funding affordable housing in the communities it serves via the AHP is a great example of how this program can provide gap funding that gets an invaluable project from conception to reality,” Mr. Hettrick said.
