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.

FHLB Dallas and Southern Bancorp Award $12K Grant to Retiree in Mississippi

Funds Used to Replace Aging, Decrepit Roof Sheathing

With a repaired roof over her head, 63-year-old Deloris Hill is feeling at home once again. She received a $12,000 grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas), through its member Southern Bancorp, to replace the roof sheathing on her home.

The Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) provides grants through member institutions for the repair and rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing of eligible, special-needs individuals.

“I am deeply grateful to receive this grant from FHLB Dallas and Southern Bancorp,” said Ms. Hill. “This support has allowed me to take better care of both my mother and myself, and I can’t thank them enough for the difference they’ve made in our lives.”

Ms. Hill has arthritis in her hips and knees, causing her mobility issues. Now retired, the former certified nursing assistant worked at a hospital for 27 years and currently takes care of her mother full time. The roof sheathing on her historic home in Schlater, Mississippi, had been rotten for as long as she could remember, and she could not afford the necessary repairs.

“Southern Bancorp was proud to be the financial bridge that helped Ms. Hill make much-needed repairs to her roof,” said Kenya Davenport, interim president of Southern Bancorp Community Partners. “We are grateful for the partnership with FHLB Dallas and the support of the SNAP grants, which help mission-focused institutions like us deliver impactful work to the people who need it most.”

FHLB Dallas’ Executive Vice President Bre Chapman said SNAP can have a tremendous impact on the communities FHLB Dallas’ members serve.

���Through SNAP, we are given the opportunity to give back to citizens like Ms. Hill who served their community for so many years,” said Ms. Chapman. “It is evident that a small amount of funding can make a huge difference in not just someone’s life, but their future.”
