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.

Lea County State Bank and FHLB Dallas Provide Down Payment Assistance

Banks Award $10K Subsidy to Help Hobbs Resident Buy First Home

Victoria Piñon became a homeowner at the young age of just 26, thanks in part to the Homebuyer Equity Leverage Partnership (HELP), a program of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) in which its financial institution members provide subsidies to help first-time homebuyers with down payment and closing costs.

Ms. Piñon, a Bank Secrecy Act analyst for Lea County State Bank, said she had been working in the fast-food industry before joining Lea County State Bank in customer service when she heard about, applied for and was awarded a HELP subsidy.

Through member institutions, HELP assists income-qualified, first-time homebuyers with down payment assistance and closing costs. FHLB Dallas disburses HELP funds to members on a first-come, first-served basis, one homebuyer at a time.

In Ms. Piñon’s case, she was able to purchase a 1,200-square-foot, three-bedroom home on a corner lot with the assistance of a $10,000 HELP subsidy.

“I had been living with my parents for about two years while saving money for a house. Eventually I started looking,” she said. “HELP assisted with both the down payment and closing costs, which helped out a lot, particularly since I had to buy a new refrigerator, washer and dryer.”

Lea County State Bank Senior Vice President Dickie Wall said the bank has assisted several new homeowners over the past few years amid rising costs.

“Escalating home prices and rising rents are major barriers for first-time homeowners, especially when it comes to saving for a down payment,” Mr. Wall said. “We are thankful for this opportunity to partner with FHLB Dallas to strengthen our communities by helping more people become homeowners.”

Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, said HELP is one of the perks of membership with FHLB Dallas.

“The evidence is overwhelming that homeownership stabilizes and strengthens communities, and our HELP subsidy is there for members to assist in making that happen for residents in their communities,” he said.

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.

About Lea County State Bank

Chartered on November 2, 1928, during the oil boom days, the original Lea County State Bank of Lovington played an important role in the early development of southeastern New Mexico. The bank’s main office was later moved to Hobbs, New Mexico, and the name was shortened to Lea County State Bank. The bank changed ownership and names in the 1980s, but in 1991, the bank was purchased by a group of local investors and the name reverted to Lea County State Bank and a philosophy of putting the customer first.
