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.

Tri Counties Bank, in collaboration with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLBank San Francisco) and its Access to Housing and Economic Assistance for Development (AHEAD) Program, announced grant awards totaling $260,000 to Alchemist Community Development Corporation (Alchemist CDC) in Sacramento, Jefferson Economic Development Institute (JEDI) in Mount Shasta, and the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians of the Stewarts Point Rancheria in Santa Rosa.

“Tri Counties Bank is delighted to assist our community partners in obtaining grants that help much-needed programs,” said Danna Prater, Vice President and Director of Community Development at Tri Counties Bank. “These grants will provide a critical boost to local programs that address pressing community needs and bring greater opportunities to underserved populations.”

Alchemist CDC connects Sacramento area residents to land, food, and opportunities through its food business incubator program, Alchemist Kitchen. Their $50,000 AHEAD grant will be used to help launch and grow participating businesses at the Alchemist Public Market, which begins construction in Sacramento’s River District in 2025. Once those businesses have graduated into an outside brick and mortar, Alchemist CDC will assist with moving in new businesses.

JEDI strives to increase the economic well-being of people and communities in Northern California through business development and local wealth creation. The $110,000 AHEAD grant will be used to launch and grow startup culinary enterprises in predominantly rural areas through a new Culinary Entrepreneurship Program. The program will include business and food industry coaching, access to venues for product and sales, and microgrants to launch new businesses.

The Kashia Band of Pomo Indians, based in the Santa Rosa area, enhances quality of life for its members through comprehensive programs that address housing, health, education, and economic opportunities. The $100,000 AHEAD grant will provide job training through business-focused workshops and support low-income entrepreneurs through microloans, and housing stabilization services through education, rental assistance, and financial planning.

AHEAD grants are awarded annually and delivered through FHLBank San Francisco’s member financial institutions to local community organizations for projects and programs that benefit lower-income and underserved communities. Since the program’s inception in 2004, FHLBank San Francisco has awarded more than $33.1 million in AHEAD grants to over 1,000 economic development projects in Arizona, California, and Nevada.

“These grants will help boost economic opportunity and create access to vital services and support in Northern California, which can be life-changing for people living in underserved communities,” said Eric Cicourel, community investment officer for FHLBank San Francisco. “We’re proud that for 20 years and counting, the AHEAD Program continues to make a positive impact throughout the communities we serve.”

In 2024, FHLBank San Francisco’s board of directors allocated $7.3 million to the AHEAD Program, nearly doubling the funding from 2023, and awarded grants to 84 projects. Tri Counties Bank applied for the grants in partnership with the Alchemist CDC, JEDI, and the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians. Grants were awarded after a competitive selection process.
