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.

First-Time Homebuyer Receives $15K in Down-Payment Assistance

Trustmark and FHLB Dallas Award Funds to Single Mom of Three

Ms. Jones, a 29-year-old single mom of three, was ready to stop renting and purchase her first home. Working as a shift manager at a specialty coffee retailer, Ms. Jones is the sole provider for her household. With the lease on her rental home ending soon, she worried about how she would come up with the money needed to purchase in time.

“The lease on our rental home was ending and I didn’t think I would be able to save up enough money in time,” she said.

She learned of the Homebuyer Equity Leverage Partnership (HELP) program when she applied for a mortgage loan through Trustmark. FHLB Dallas provided a $15,000 HELP subsidy through its member financial institution, Trustmark, to assist Ms. Jones with downpayment and closing costs.

Without this subsidy, Ms. Jones said that she and her family would not have been able to purchase their home and would still be renting. “I didn’t want to rent anymore. I wanted a home we could call our own. HELP changed my life and gave us the opportunity to do that.”

In 2023, FHLB Dallas set aside $6.5 million of its Affordable Housing Program funds for HELP. Through member institutions, like Trustmark, HELP assists income-qualified, first-time homebuyers with down payment assistance and closing costs.

Trustmark has leveraged the FHLB Dallas HELP program for 16 years to help people become homeowners.

“Trustmark has always had a commitment to serving our community, and we are delighted that through our partnership with HELP individuals in our communities have an opportunity to achieve the American dream and own their own home,” said Jaime Sisson, senior compliance risk manager and vice president of Trustmark.

Since HELP’s inception in 2002 through December 31, 2022, more than 6,000 homebuyers have received assistance through the program to become first-time homeowners.

“Trustmark’s consistent use of HELP throughout the years has made a difference in the lives of more than 100 residents who are homeowners as a result,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
