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.

U.S. Home Prices Rose 0.5% in October, Marking a Year of Consistent Growth

On a year-over-year basis, home prices rose 5.9%, the smallest annual increase since December

(NASDAQ: RDFN) — U.S. home prices grew 0.5% from a month earlier in October on a seasonally adjusted basis, matching September’s increase, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

On a year-over-year basis, home prices rose 5.9%, the lowest annual increase since December. This is according to the Redfin Home Price Index (RHPI), which uses the repeat-sales pricing method to calculate seasonally adjusted changes in prices of single-family homes. The RHPI measures sale prices of homes that sold during a given period, and how those prices have changed since the last time those same homes sold.

Home prices maintained steady growth over the past year, with month-over-month gains ranging between 0.2% and 0.7% each month since November 2023—including seven months where growth was between 0.4% and 0.6%. That’s consistent with the pace of growth between 2015-2020. The pandemic buying spree saw home prices spike up to nearly 2% month-over-month in June 2021, before falling all the way to -0.1% growth in August 2022.

Elevated mortgage rates have kept a lot of buyers on the sidelines in 2024, essentially putting a cap on how much prices could rise. But there is still a shortage of homes on the market, which means there is enough competition to keep prices ticking steadily higher.

“Many people—especially first-time buyers—were waiting until after the election to make a decision about buying a home,” said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari. "Now the election is over, we have started to see signs that homebuyer demand is coming back. That could lead to increased competition in coming months, possibly pushing prices higher unless we see a major spike in the number of homes being listed.”

Metro-Level Summary: Redfin Home Price Index, October 2024

Eight of the 50 most populous U.S. metro areas recorded a seasonally adjusted drop in home prices in October, month over month.

The biggest decline in October was in San Antonio, TX (-2.9%), followed by Tampa, FL (-1%) and Miami (-0.6%). The highest month over month gains were recorded in San Francisco (2.3%), Detroit (1.5%) and Nassau County, NY (1.2%).
