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.

Funds Will Assist with Substantial Rehabilitation to Pattison, Mississippi, Housing Development

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) is pleased to announce that an Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grant has been awarded in U.S. Representative Bennie Thompson’s district that will enable the Mississippi Regional Housing Authority No. VI to rehabilitate a vacant property into a vibrant affordable housing community.

The AHP grant was awarded by FHLB Dallas through its member BankPlus. The grant will help fund a $2.9 million rehabilitation of a 40-unit, vacant affordable housing development known as Pattison Homes I & II, which contain homes with one, two and three bedrooms for low-income residents. The housing authority anticipates completing the rehab in December.

“This grant highlights the power of partnerships and reaffirms our shared commitment to delivering safe and affordable housing solutions for our community,” Representative Thompson, D-MS, said. “I am delighted to see the Pattison Homes I & II project awarded this $850,000 grant. It’s always rewarding when we can make tangible progress in providing safe and affordable housing.”

AHP grants assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the area median income.

“The AHP grant will enhance the agency’s ability to provide quality and affordable housing to the residents of Claiborne County. We are indebted to the FHLB of Dallas and our local partner, BankPlus, for making this grant possible,” said Dr. Hickman Johnson, executive director of the Mississippi Regional Housing Authority.

In 2023, FHLB Dallas awarded $28.4 million in AHP grants to 43 affordable housing projects to help create 2,677 new or rehabilitated housing units in its District, which includes Mississippi.

“We are thankful for Congressman Thompson’s support for affordable housing initiatives and believe this grant will make a positive impact on the residents of Pattison, Mississippi,” said Bre Chapman, executive vice president and chief ESG and administrative officer at FHLB Dallas.

This year, $99.4 million has been allocated for AHP and homeownership set-aside grants, which also help first-time homebuyers, special-needs households such as the disabled and homeowners impacted by disasters. Visit fhlb.com/ahp to learn more.
