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.

Redfin Reports 28% of Houses For Sale Are Newly Built, the Lowest Share in 3 Years

By: via Business Wire

New-construction homes are making up a smaller portion of total inventory as builders back off and more homeowners list their houses for sale

(NASDAQ: RDFN) — Newly built homes made up 28% of single-family homes for sale nationwide in the third quarter, the lowest level in three years, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

That’s down from 30.5% a year earlier and a record-high 34.4% at the start of 2022.

The share of houses for sale that are newly built has dropped from its peak for several reasons:

  • More existing inventory has hit the market. The total supply of existing single-family inventory is up 22% year over year. That’s partly because the lock-in effect has started to ease, with people growing tired of waiting for mortgage rates to come down before selling their home and searching for a new one.
  • House hunters have bought up much of the new construction on the market. Sales of newly built single-family homes rose 6.3% year over year in September 2024, according to the U.S. Census, partly because builders have enticed buyers by offering incentives, including mortgage-rate buydowns and cash toward closing costs. Redfin agents report those incentives have worked, with many buyers turning toward new construction to get a better deal.
  • Building has slowed down. Homebuilders have backed off since the pandemic-driven building boom, with high mortgage rates dampening demand; they’re focused on selling the new homes they have on the books rather than constructing new ones. Permits to build single-family homes were down 2% year over year in September, and down 23% from the 15-year high they hit in early 2021.

Still, newly built homes make up a significantly higher portion of for-sale inventory than before the pandemic. That’s because the share shot up so much during the pandemic, going from roughly 17% in 2019 to nearly 30% by the end of 2021.

Newly built homes have made up an outsized portion of homes for sale in the last four years because the supply of new-construction homes soared in 2022 and 2023, while the supply of existing homes dwindled.

Inventory of existing homes fell over that period as mortgage rates rose and the lock-in effect took hold. The surge in newly built homes, meanwhile, was caused by builders responding to robust homebuying demand brought on by ultra-low mortgage rates and remote work. While building has since slowed, builders are still completing projects they started in the past few years.

Looking forward, the share of inventory made up of newly built homes may fall slightly further as permits dwindle. But the share should remain higher than pre-pandemic levels because mortgage rates are likely to remain elevated, keeping the supply of existing homes from surging.
