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.

U.S. Home Prices Edge Down 0.1% in June, With Declines in Most Major Metros

Redfin reports U.S. home prices were down slightly in June for the third consecutive month. Prices rose 3.4% year over year, the slowest rate since June 2023.

U.S. home prices ticked down 0.1% in June from a month earlier—the third consecutive month that prices were slightly down on a seasonally adjusted basis. That’s according to a new report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket. On a year-over-year basis, home prices rose 3.4%, the lowest rate since June 2023.

For much of the past two years, prices ticked up slowly nationwide because there were just enough buyers to create competition for the relatively low number of homes on the market. This year, however, home price growth has stalled as a surge in housing supply met weak demand, with sellers greatly outnumbering buyers, who have been deterred by elevated mortgage rates and steep prices.

“Home prices are slipping a little more each month as sales activity remains sluggish. June was the second month in a row where more than half of the 50 most populous U.S. metros posted a decline in prices,” said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari. “Even with more homes for sale, high mortgage rates are keeping many buyers—and more recently sellers—on the sidelines. We expect prices to fall about 1% by the end of the year as low demand continues to weigh on the market.”

Metro-Level Summary: Redfin Home Price Index, June 2025

In Washington, D.C., home prices fell 1.8% in June, the third month in a row that prices posted a month-over-month decline of at least 1.5% on a seasonally adjusted basis. It was the metro area’s second-biggest decline posted since the RHPI began in 2012, trailing only the 1.9% drop one month earlier in May.

Home prices in the nation��s capital still rose 2.9% year over year—but that was a substantial drop from the 10.9% annual growth rate being observed as recently as March. That was the biggest change in annual growth of any of the top 50 most populous metros since March.

The housing market in Washington has been shaken by a series of widespread federal government job cuts: at least 50,000 federal workers have been laid off or targeted for layoffs. Funding cuts for other government programs, like foreign aid programs, has also had an impact on non-government workers in the capital.

Marshall Park, Redfin’s senior market manager in the Washington, D.C. metro area, said the market has slowed—especially in the condo market—with homes taking longer to sell as inventory rises.

“We’ve moved from a bidding war environment to one that demands strategic pricing, thoughtful staging, and the right updates to make a home truly appealing,” he said. “Federal job cuts are certainly a contributor—some sellers are listing due to buyouts or early retirements, which is adding to inventory. But it's not just layoffs. We’re also seeing signs of price sensitivity as higher interest rates force buyers to reevaluate what’s affordable.”

Thirty of the 50 metros recorded a fall in home prices month over month in June.

Behind Washington, the next biggest decline was in Austin, TX (-1.5%), followed by San Diego (-1.4%).

Prices increased most from May in Montgomery County, PA (0.6%), Providence, RI (0.5%) and New York (0.5%).

On a year-over-year basis, prices in New York (11.7%) rose the most, followed by Philadelphia (11.2%) and Detroit (9.4%).

At the other end of the spectrum, Tampa, FL posted a 4.5% decline in prices from a year ago—the biggest drop of any major metro. Next came Austin, TX (-3.5%) and Dallas (-2%).
