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.

$10K HAVEN Grant Helps Texas Army Veteran with Home Repairs

First National Bank Texas and FHLB Dallas Fund Home Repairs

U.S. Army veteran Corey Kiefer saw things no one would ever want to see in his role as a mortuary specialist at Dover Air Force Base where the remains of fallen U.S. military personnel arrive from combat zones before being transferred to family members.

Preparing the remains of fallen soldiers and cataloging their personal effects took its toll, causing post-traumatic stress disorder that today can be activated when the old floors in his San Antonio floor squeak as people walk across them.

Now, Mr. Kiefer has new floors, quiet vinyl planks, throughout his home, thanks to a $10,000 Housing Assistance for Veterans (HAVEN) grant from First National Bank Texas (FNBT) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas).

HAVEN funds assist with necessary modifications to homes of U.S. veterans and active-duty, reserve or National Guard service members who became disabled as a result of their military service since September 11, 2001. Alternatively, the funds can be awarded to Gold Star Families that were impacted during this time frame for home repairs/rehabilitation.

The two banks and the Kiefer family gathered for a celebration of the grant this week at the Kiefer home where Mr. Kiefer lives with his wife, Naya, and three active boys, all under the age of 9.

“I was Googling home repair assistance when I came across the HAVEN grant and decided to pursue more information,” said Mr. Kiefer who supports his family on his military benefits. “FHLB Dallas gave me a list of banks that could help me, and when I reached out to First National Bank Texas, they were just amazing to work with.”

April Niswonger, assistant vice president at FNBT, said the grant to Mr. Kiefer was a meaningful experience for everyone involved.

“As a community bank, this was an impactful experience for us, and we are thrilled that we were able to help Mr. Kiefer with home renovations,” she said. “Taking care of soldiers and their families is a high priority for us, and the HAVEN grant is a perfect way to do that.”

Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, says HAVEN is a unique program because it specifically reaches certain military veterans and their families.

“We are thankful for FNBT and its interest in stepping in to help Mr. Kiefer,” he said. “We’d like to encourage other FHLB Dallas members to consider the HAVEN grant as a way to give back to our men and women of the armed forces.”
