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 Increases Small Business Boost Funding by $1.27M – Bringing Total to $4.27M for Members in 2024

Funds Help Finance Small Businesses and Startups

In response to the growing demand for small business funding, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) is expanding its successful Small Business Boost (SBB) program by adding $1.27 million in funds, bringing the total available funding in 2024 to $4.27 million.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, particularly in smaller towns and rural areas,” said Steve Otto, senior vice president and head of member sales at FHLB Dallas. “The SBB is a valuable resource to bring in more local businesses and help communities thrive.”

Launched in 2019, the SBB program provides recoverable assistance to finance the startup or expansion of qualified small businesses. SBB funds help participating members provide financing for qualified small businesses by filling the gap between what the member can finance and the loan request made by an eligible small business. In 2024, FHLB Dallas initially made $3 million available to members to provide secondary loans to their customers.

Typical uses of the program include the startup or expansion of a small business, including building purchase, land acquisition, construction, equipment, working capital and other related uses. As small businesses grow and repay, funds are recycled back into the SBB program to be reinvested in other small businesses, which can create more jobs over time.

So far this year, FHLB Dallas has approved 44 loans totaling more than $2.8 million.
