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.

FHLB Dallas and Veritex Community Bank Give Veteran Relief from Texas Heat

Program for Military Personnel and Gold Star Families Funded New AC Unit

Mr. Urquhart, 22, is a retired senior airman who joined the military to find focus in his life.

“When I joined the military, I felt like I was ahead of everyone else. I learned a trade, while everyone else was still flipping burgers,” he said.

His job in the Air Force — aerospace maintenance — required him to work on heavy duty cargo aircraft, which caused a back injury while he was stationed in Germany. He said he is 70 percent disabled because of back issues.

Mr. Urquhart said his home’s air conditioning unit hadn’t been fully operational for years, which can be dangerous during a Texas summer. He learned about HAVEN from Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity, applied and was awarded funding for a new central air conditioning unit.

“I am absolutely delighted,” he said. “I’m at a loss for words. It’s not something I expected to happen.”

HAVEN provides grants to veterans and active-duty, reserve or National Guard service members who have been disabled in the line of duty since August 2, 1990. Funds can be used for modifications to an existing home to offset construction costs. They may also be used to assist with a down payment costs, closing costs or both. In addition, the funds may be used to assist Gold Star Families that were impacted during this time frame.

“Mr. Urquhart serves as an inspiration for us all. His dedication to this country is truly demonstrated in his story and reinforces our role as a community bank and how we can support veterans,” said Melanie Goodman, community reinvestment officer at Veritex. “At Veritex, we strive to be the bank that not only provides exceptional financial services, but also delivers unparalleled support and uplifts the entire community. Together, let’s continue to make a positive impact and stand strong with our veterans.”

FHLB Dallas recently expanded the eligibility criteria for HAVEN in the hopes of helping more veterans.

“Veritex’s involvement in the HAVEN program has a profound impact in veterans’ lives,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “The HAVEN program ensures that our veterans are able to live comfortably in their home with their disability.”
