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.

Congresswoman Flores Tours Apartments Slated for $16.5M Reconstruction

Wells Fargo and FHLB Dallas Provided $750K Toward Weslaco Village Apartments Project

Today, Congresswoman Mayra Flores, R-TX, toured a more than 40-year-old Weslaco, Texas, apartment complex that will be torn down and reconstructed into a new $16.5 million affordable housing complex.

Prospera Housing Community Services (Prospera) received a $750,000 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) subsidy from Wells Fargo and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) toward the reconstruction project, which was celebrated during today’s event.

“Housing is a key pillar for family stability and well-being, and projects like the one happening right here in Weslaco, show that public-private partnerships work,” said Congresswoman Flores. “Housing and Urban Development (HUD) resources, along with private funds, will not only ensure that our community meets its affordable housing demands, but do so in a way that is beneficial to residents, taxpayers and community stakeholders. This is a win-win for TX-34.”

The reconstruction will expand the site from 46 to 50 units and provide the opportunity for a full suite of upgrades for residents, including energy efficiencies, Americans with Disabilities Act modifications, interior and exterior upgrades and a new playground, among other improvements.

Prospera provides affordable housing and related services in three regions of the state: the Rio Grande Valley, Corpus Christi and San Antonio.

“The reconstruction of Weslaco Village Apartments is very exciting to Prospera as it has been many years since we have had this redevelopment opportunity in the Rio Grande Valley,” said Gilbert Piette, executive director of Prospera.

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 almost $7.5 million for 986 units in Texas. A new round of funding will be released in the fall.

“We’re thankful for Wells Fargo’s and Prospera’s commitment to affordable housing in the Rio Grande Valley and look forward to seeing the completed apartments,” said Bruce Hatton, vice president and Affordable Housing Program Manager at FHLB Dallas. “Special thanks to Congresswoman Flores for her presence here today and her support of affordable housing in the District.”
