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.

Chase Expands Grant Program to Even More Hispanic and Black Communities to Help Families Get One Step Closer to Homeownership

The bank has extended its new product and resource offerings to help homeowners and support first-time buyers, minorities and veterans on the path to homeownership

Today, Chase Home Lending announced the expansion of its $5,000 Homebuyer Grant Program to include additional Hispanic and Black communities in 16 markets. This expansion means that the grant is now available in more than 14,000 communities nationwide. The Chase Homebuyer Grant can be applied toward two of the biggest barriers to homeownership—the upfront cash needed for a down payment and closing costs.

“We are proud to further expand the Chase Homebuyer Grant because it helps make the journey to homeownership a little bit easier,” said Cerita Battles, head of Community and Affordable Lending at Chase. “This grant program also serves as a meaningful investment in places that have been historically disinvested—helping to stabilize and revitalize Black, Hispanic, and Latino neighborhoods across the country."

The $5,000 Homebuyer Grant:

  • Is available on DreaMaker, Standard Agency, FHA and VA mortgages
  • Can be used toward closing costs, down payment, and/or for points that can reduce the interest rate
  • Is available on properties located in designated census tracts
  • Is eligible for purchase mortgages on a primary residence only

Chase first rolled out the $5,000 Homebuyer Grant in 6,700 predominantly Black census tracts across the country in 2021. In 2022, Chase expanded the grant to over 5,000 Hispanic communities in 20 markets across the country. Chase has now expanded the grant for coverage of additional communities in the following markets:

  1. Atlanta
  2. Austin
  3. Baltimore
  4. Charlotte
  5. Denver
  6. Fort Lauderdale
  7. Fort Worth
  8. Las Vegas
  9. Minneapolis
  10. New York
  11. Orlando
  12. Riverside (CA)
  13. San Antonio
  14. San Diego
  15. Tampa
  16. Washington, D.C. 

Buyer accessibility and eligibility for the Chase Homebuyer Grant has increased significantly in key markets such as San Antonio, Riverside, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, San Diego and Washington, D.C.

  • San Antonio now has 65% coverage of its communities, up from 0%
  • Riverside sees an increase to 61% coverage of its communities, up from 0%
  • Fort Lauderdale's coverage increases to 63% from 19%
  • Las Vegas sees an increase to 38% and San Diego to 30%
  • Total market coverage in New York has increased from 16% to 28%, and Washington, D.C. from 21% to 36% coverage

This grant is part of a special purpose credit program (SPCP) that Chase developed in accordance with federal legal requirements. It’s available for purchases of properties in communities identified by the U.S. Census as majority-Black, Hispanic or Latino.

To find out if a property qualifies for the $5,000 grant, buyers can contact a Chase Home Lending Advisor or use Chase’s Homebuyer Assistance Finder, where you can also find additional grants and programs you may qualify for. Additionally, Chase continues to add resources to support homeownership at all stages:

  • Lock and Shop: Lock in your mortgage rate for 90-days with no upfront fee when using Chase Homebuyer Advantage, so you can have peace of mind when shopping for a new home.
  • Beginner To Buyer Season II: Chase launched the second season of its homebuyer education podcast, Beginner To Buyer, with new episodes featuring conversations about homebuying and ownership, home equity, common misconceptions, renovations, and investment properties.
  • Veterans Purchase Closing Cost Benefit: Chase’s $2,000 VA Purchase Closing Cost Benefit is designed for veterans, servicemembers and their families purchasing a home with a VA mortgage loan. It’s also stackable with Chase’s Homebuyer Grant and the $5,000 Closing Guarantee.
  • Chase MyHome Savings Calculator: Already have a Chase mortgage? You can now select up to three payment options (add to monthly principal, one-time lump sum, bi-weekly) to calculate overall interest savings and estimate new loan payoff dates within ChaseMyHome.
