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.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Commits Nearly $100 Million to Four Key Affordable Housing Initiatives

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) has made available $99.4 million in grants this year through its Affordable Housing Program (AHP) and AHP homeownership programs. View the $100 Million in AHP video to see the impact of the programs.

“Our nation has a critical shortage of affordable housing options,” said FHLB Dallas President and CEO Sanjay Bhasin. “We have options for homeowners and renters through our programs, which provide very low- to moderate-income residents, older residents and people with disabilities access to affordable housing.”

Of the total funding, $79.4 million was allocated to the AHP General Fund, which provides grants to assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals.

In addition to the AHP General Fund availability, FHLB Dallas also made the following 2024 allocations to AHP homeownership programs:

  • $15.5 million for the Homebuyer Equity Leverage Partnership (HELP), which provides grants for down payment and/or closing cost assistance for eligible first-time homebuyers.
  • $2.5 million for Disaster Rebuilding Assistance (DRA), which provides grants for homeowner repairs in FHLB Dallas’ District (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas) that have been declared disaster areas eligible for individual assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
  • $2 million for the Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP), which funds home repairs and modifications such as wheelchair ramps and wider doors to meet the needs of households containing a resident with special needs.

Homeowners and nonprofits access the funds through FHLB Dallas member financial institutions.

“The HELP program sponsored by FHLB Dallas has been tremendous in helping Red River Bank create affordable housing in all of our markets,” said Senior Vice President Jannease Seastrunk, community relations & CRA officer at Red River Bank. “We’ve been able to create numerous housing opportunities for low-income families throughout the entire state of Louisiana.”

The following funding windows are available or approaching:

  • AHP General Fund applications must be submitted by May 1
  • DRA will offer a second round of funding on July 8
  • HELP funding is available until December 31, 2024, or until funds are exhausted, whichever occurs first
  • SNAP opens a new round of funding from June 6 to June 8, 2024

See the FHLB Dallas Community Programs for more information.
