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.

Georgia Mother Receives $6K Subsidy to Purchase First Home

The First and FHLB Dallas Award First-Time Homebuyer Funds

Ashley Hugley, 35, purchased her first home in Valdosta, Georgia, with the help of a $6,000 Homebuyer Equity Leverage Partnership (HELP) subsidy from The First Bank (The First) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas). Representatives from the banks and the Valdosta-Lowndes County Habitat for Humanity (Valdosta-Lowndes Habitat) celebrated recently at a ceremonial check presentation at Ms. Hugley’s new home.

Prior to her purchase, Ms. Hugley, lived in her mother’s home, along with her uncle and two children.

“I was looking for a three-bedroom house so my kids could have their own space,” said Ms. Hugley. “It’s a wonderful feeling to purchase a home and call it mine. I thought I’d never get here.”

Ms. Hugley learned about HELP from Valdosta-Lowndes Habitat, which she had worked with to help build her new home.

For Mike Bourgoin, executive director of Valdosta-Lowndes Habitat, his passion is helping people through the organization’s mission.

“I come to work every day feeling like I am doing something good,” Mr. Bourgoin said. “The HELP funds were critical in this instance as the price of the home spiked due to shortages in materials. The funds made it comfortable to afford for Ms. Hugley and her family, enabling them to buy their first home.”

Jud Moritz, Valdosta’s market president at The First, said HELP is a great program that enables people to begin building equity in a home.

“HELP gives us the opportunity to invest in our communities and create affordable opportunities,” said Mr. Moritz. “We are always excited and honored to take part in the program and partner with FHLB Dallas.”

HELP subsidies are offered by FHLB Dallas through its member institutions, like The First, to assist first-time homebuyers with down payments and closing costs on new or existing homes. For 2022, FHLB Dallas set aside $4 million available through its members on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit fhlb.com/help to view the current availability of HELP funds.

“The rise in home prices presents a challenge for low- to moderate-income families stepping into homeownership,” said FHLB Dallas First Vice President and Director of Community Investment Greg Hettrick. “HELP is a great program our members can leverage to help families make a home in their community. We are honored to partner with The First in providing the funds to Ms. Hugley.”
