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.

Award Part of the New $1M Native American Housing Opportunities Fund

Representatives from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas), through its member Austin Bank, awarded a $150,000 Native American Housing Opportunities (NAHO) Fund grant to Alabama-Coushatta Indian Housing Authority (ACIHA) today during a ceremonial check celebration.

FHLB Dallas introduced the NAHO Fund this year to increase affordable housing access for federally recognized tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs) by providing grants of $50,000 to $150,000. The grants may be used for homebuyer down payment and closing cost assistance, rental assistance, home repairs, new construction, administrative expenses and other eligible uses.

“This new fund from FHLB Dallas puts an additional focus on rural housing affordability, and we are pleased to be a part of this effort to bring greater affordability to Livingston,” said Austin Bank Senior Vice President and CRA Officer Debbie Braune.

ACIHA will use its grant for 75 generator switches in homes, 15 internet connections for a remote neighborhood and eight new central air-conditioning systems, said ACIHA Director Jerry McKinney.

Mr. McKinney said he was at a tribal housing conference in Florida when he heard about FHLB Dallas’ grant program and Rachel Collins, tribal grants director, was also contacted by a representative and with a little help with the process from the housing team, Ms. Collins took the lead to complete and submit the application.

“We put generator plugs in our housing plan two years ago because of power outages we occasionally get from hurricanes, but we didn’t have the funds for them,” Mr. McKinney said. “This grant will give us the opportunity to do that now. The Wi-Fi connections will help our kids who don’t have internet at home and have to go to the community center to do homework. We are really grateful for this grant and what it will help capitalize for ACIHA.”

Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, said the $1 million fund is financing much-needed affordable housing initiatives.

“We’ve seen some innovative uses of the funding to develop sustainable housing, and the Housing Authority’s plan for generator switches is a good example of preparing for future power outages related storms pushing inward from the Gulf,” he said. “We are honored to be able to support their work.”
