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.

Jaco was one of eight businesses awarded a $20,000 Small Business Recovery Grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) through FHLB Dallas member, Renaissance Community Loan Fund (RCLF).

The funds were presented today during a ceremonial check ceremony at Jaco’s location in Amory, Mississippi that was attended by area public officials and business leaders.

“Without the grant, we would really be struggling,” Mr. Powell said. “We were relieved when we learned about the funding. It was a tremendous help.”

Jaco, which provides fabrication services to the aerospace industry, suffered widespread damage when the tornado tore off its roof, blew out windows, crumpled metal siding and damaged machinery. It was shut down for weeks but is now up and operating.

Some other businesses that were hit and awarded grant funding have still not reopened more than five months after the storm.

“RCLF worked closely with Monroe Chamber of Commerce staff to identify qualifying businesses within the damaged area and to provide assistance in preparing and submitting the grant applications,” said John-Michael Marlin, director of lending at RCLF. “The disaster relief funds from FHLB Dallas played a critical role in helping the community move toward recovery, but because of the extensive damage, it’s a process that takes time. These businesses want to get back to work, and we’re here to help.”

Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment for FHLB Dallas, said RCLF has been on the front lines as an ambassador for the Small Business Recovery Grant.

“Our Small Business Recovery Grant provides a path for businesses to recover a little faster, and RCLF has played an integral part in getting the word out about the grants and how they can help businesses get back to business when their communities need them the most,” Mr. Hettrick said.

Small Business Recovery Grants are offered by FHLB Dallas through member financial institutions such as RCLF to provide financing for qualified small businesses affected by natural disasters such as the storms that hit Arkansas and Mississippi earlier this year. FHLB Dallas allocated $2.5 million in Small Business Recovery Grants, with grants up to $20,000 per eligible business, to support at least 125 small businesses in Arkansas and Mississippi. Funds are still available.
