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.

$15K Down Payment Assistance Subsidy Helps Mississippi Woman Achieve Homeownership Milestone

FHLB Dallas and Citizens National Bank Provide Funds

Lacey Harmon has lived in Macon, Mississippi, for most of her life and she was ready to put down roots by purchasing a home. Now, with the support of a $15,000 Homebuyer Equity Leverage Partnership (HELP) subsidy from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) through its member, Citizens National Bank, she feels firmly planted in her native soil.

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

“When I thought of buying a home, I never imagined things would fall into place so quickly. The HELP funds were a blessing that fulfilled my dream sooner than I expected,” said Ms. Harmon.

Hearing of HELP through word of mouth, she applied and received the subsidy, which was used for a down payment on a three-bedroom house that sits on about half an acre of lush land.

Since 2018, Citizens National Bank has used HELP funds to assist close to 50 Mississippians in achieving homeownership.

“Supporting first-time homebuyers is a big part of our business and we are delighted to have the backing of FHLB Dallas through the HELP subsidy,” said Tyeisha Smith, community development officer at Citizens National Bank.”

The HELP subsidy enables member institutions to build long-term relationships with their customers.

“As a community bank that prioritizes the people of Mississippi, Citizens National Bank is leading by example and bringing homeownership within the reach of local residents,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
