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.

Merrie Butler, a retired paralegal and co-owner of Martin Farms, has lived in Silver City, Mississippi, her whole life. When her father died last year, he left Martin Farms to Ms. Butler and her two sisters. Martin Farms owns 2,400 acres that produces corn, soybeans and cotton. The property includes a horse arena for barrel racing and roping and a shop to repair farming equipment.

On March 24, a tornado hit Silver City and other Southeast cities, killing 26 people. Ms. Butler remained safely hidden in her guest bathroom. But, once the tornado passed, she discovered that her home, the farm shop and farm equipment sustained heavy damage. The barn and horse arena were essentially destroyed.

“With so much destruction you don’t know where to turn. As the weeks go by you wonder where to start,” Ms. Butler said. “I am so blessed that BankPlus was sent my way. Them reaching out was a tremendous help.”

BankPlus, which reached out to small businesses and farmers in the disaster area that were known to have sustained damage, said the Small Business Recovery Grant is helping businesses regain a sense of normalcy.

“The Small Business Recovery grant is an important tool in helping businesses and communities recover and rebuild,” said Mark Ouellette, BankPlus senior vice president and director of Affordable Housing Program. “That includes area farms which took a hard hit in the storms.”

FHLB Dallas made $2.5 million available in April through its member institutions for eligible businesses to support at least 125 small businesses in Arkansas and Mississippi with grants up to $20,000 each. To date, 101 businesses have received nearly $2 million in assistance. More than $500,000 remains available.

“The support provided through our members such as BankPlus ensures that small businesses like Martin Farms can successfully recover after a disaster,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
