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.

The awards were celebrated today during a check celebration at Veritex Community Bank in Houston.

The FHLB Dallas PGP offers up to a 5:1 match of member contributions — up to $25,000 per FHLB Dallas member — to support community-based organizations involved in affordable housing or economic development activities that complement other FHLB Dallas community investment programs. The program is funded on an annual basis, and funds are distributed through participating FHLB Dallas members.

In this case, FHLB Dallas member institution Veritex Community Bank provided a $3,500 grant to Credit Coalition, which FHLB Dallas matched with $17,500, and a $2,500 grant to Houston Land Bank, which FHLB Dallas matched with $10,000.

“We are so pleased to partner with FHLB Dallas to provide funding that will make a positive impact on Houston and nearby cities,” said Courtney Taylor, senior vice president and community development officer at Veritex Community Bank.

One of the recipients, the Houston Land Bank Fund, transforms vacant, abandoned and damaged properties into affordable housing by acquiring land and property and reselling it at below-market rates to builders, nonprofits and developers. It will use its grant to enhance its ability to manage projects efficiently, expand its reach and increase its impact.

“It’s exciting to be able to do this work that affects so many people who need homes,” said Christa Stoneham, president of the Houston Land Bank Fund.

The other recipient, Credit Coalition, will use the grant for free financial and homebuyer counseling, education and outreach, reverse mortgage counseling and financial coaching to low- and moderate-income communities in Greater Houston and Beaumont.

Veritex Community Bank has supported Credit Coalition with bankers on the board of directors, assisting with financial literacy classes and through monetary donations.

“We are so pleased to be able to continue our homebuyer and financial literacy work with traditionally underserved communities,” said Credit Coalition Executive Director Sherrie Young.

Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, said the PGP is popular with small and growing nonprofits and provides an opportunity for FHLB Dallas members to make community connections.

“Working together with our member institutions, we can make a big impact in so many communities,” he said.
