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.

Catalyst Bank and FHLB Dallas Celebrate the Opening of Transitional Housing Helped by $750K in Funding

Refinery Mission Housing Will Help Men Struggling with Addiction

A $750,000 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) subsidy provided by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) through one of its members, Catalyst Bank, helped fund construction costs for Refinery Mission Transitional Facility, a 10,000-square-foot dwelling in Opelousas, Louisiana, for men seeking recovery from addiction or who need help with other issues.

Local city council members, including Opelousas Mayor Julius Alsandora, attended the facility’s grand opening last week. The 54-bed structure will provide residents with a private bedroom, shared living space and an outdoor kitchen.

“The funds were a huge catalyst for the project. Without them, this project would have been delayed five to 10 years. Our campus has grown 10 times faster than it would have otherwise,” said Johnny Carriere, executive director of Refinery Mission. “We are eternally grateful to FHLB Dallas.”

Amanda Quebedeaux, director of operations for Catalyst Bank, shared her hope for the residents of Refinery Mission. “In supporting the opening of this transitional housing facility, we as a community affirm our commitment to providing a safe haven where individuals can rebuild their lives, rediscover their resilience and step into a new chapter of hope and opportunity,” she said.

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.

“Watching a project like this come to fruition is so gratifying,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “This time of year, we think of others and how we can help. The Refinery Mission transitional housing project is truly in the spirit of the holidays.”

In 2023, FHLB Dallas awarded $28.4 million in AHP subsidies, through members to 43 affordable housing projects. The subsidies will help create 2,677 new or rehabilitated housing units.
