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.

Mary Hamilton, a homeowner in Waco, Texas, celebrates a new roof on her home funded by a $12,000 grant from FHLB Dallas through The First National Bank of McGregor.

Mary Hamilton, a homeowner in Waco, Texas, celebrates a new roof on her home funded by a $12,000 grant from FHLB Dallas through The First National Bank of McGregor.

She received a $12,000 Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas), through FHLB Dallas member The First National Bank of McGregor (TFNB), to replace the roof on her home.

Awarded through FHLB Dallas member institutions, SNAP provides grants for the repair and rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing of eligible, special-needs individuals such as elderly and disabled homeowners.

“I’m so happy to have a new roof,” Ms. Hamilton said. “There’s no way I would’ve been able to afford it without this grant.”

Ms. Hamilton has osteoarthritis and has trouble walking. She lives in her Waco, Texas, home with her son and grandson. Now retired, the former accountant worked at a large retailer in various roles for 24 years.

She discovered the SNAP program through Waco Habitat of Humanity. TFNB partners with Habitat for Humanity to identify residents who need major repairs.

“We are so pleased to be a part of this program,” said Jason Lavender, executive vice president at TFNB. “So many homeowners have major repairs that they just can’t afford. That’s where SNAP comes in.”

FHLB Dallas set aside $2 million of its 2025 Affordable Housing Program funds for SNAP.

“It’s rewarding to see this program in action,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “These funds have a direct impact on homeowners’ comfort, safety and sense of well-being.”

More than $28 million in funds has been awarded to households in FHLB Dallas’ District of Arkansas, New Mexico, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas since the creation of the SNAP in 2009.

“I’m so pleased and happy and blessed,” said Ms. Hamilton. “It’s pretty awesome that people do these kinds of things.”
