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.

Keegan Conway, seen here with his wife, Elizabeth, and his daughter, received a HELP grant to buy a home in Sherwood, Arkansas.

FHLB Dallas initially allocated $17 million for 2025 to its Homebuyer Equity Leverage Partnership (HELP), an increase from $15.5 million last year, but three-fourths of the grant funds have already been depleted.

HELP grants are available in FHLB Dallas’ five state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. FHLB Dallas provides the funding through its financial institution members and does not provide funds directly to consumers.

Homebuyers are encouraged to reach out to a local financial institution in their area that is enrolled in the program to learn more about eligibility requirements and the application process. Find a participating member in your area.

Homebuyers in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi may receive grants of up to $20,000 while homebuyers in New Mexico and Texas may qualify for up to $25,000.

FHLB Dallas members may begin accessing funds on the following dates:

  • $2.5 million on July 1, 2025
  • $4.25 million on August 1, 2025 (The remainder of the original 2025 allocation)
  • $2.5 million on October 1, 2025

“We are making these additional funds available due to the high demand for HELP grants that we’ve had from our members,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “Down payment and closing costs are often among the biggest obstacles to buying a home. We value the work our members are doing in helping transition renters into homeowners in their communities.”
