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.

Renovations Provide More Mobility in Her Home

U.S. military veteran Tracy Hayes can move around her Hensley, Arkansas, home more easily thanks to a $10,000 Housing Assistance for Veterans (HAVEN) grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) through its member, Arvest Bank (Arvest).

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. In addition, the funds may be used to assist Gold Star Families that were impacted during this time frame.

The funds for Ms. Hayes were used to replace her flooring and stairs and install a reinforced railing to help her get up and down the stairs. It’s given her more mobility and peace of mind.

“It’s brought me so much joy,” she said. “It’s so much easier to get up and down the stairs.”

Ms. Hayes, now 52, served in the National Guard for 27 years. She says being in the military is a family tradition that goes back several generations. She was a logistics specialist and served two tours in Iraq. Today, she and her husband are involved with an outreach ministry that provides food and clothing to those in need.

Ms. Hayes heard about the HAVEN program from a contractor and fellow military veteran. Arvest staff walked her through every step of the process.

“I’m so grateful that this program exists,” she said. “I would recommend it to any veteran. I know I speak for others when I say I am so appreciative.”

FHLB Dallas has set aside $300,000 for HAVEN this year. Funds are awarded through member institutions, like Arvest Bank.

“It’s so rewarding to be a part of this program,” said Trisha Scott, executive assistant in Group Compliance CRA at Arvest, “You can see how it greatly improves the quality of life for those who served our country.”

Arvest Bank has helped 20 veterans through the HAVEN program.

“Helping disabled veterans become more independent and comfortable in their homes is one of the most gratifying experiences,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
