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.

Home Prices Tick Down 0.1% in July, Fall in 39 of the Top 50 U.S. Metros

This is the third consecutive month of home price declines

U.S. home prices nudged 0.1% lower in July on a seasonally adjusted basis—the third consecutive month that prices posted a monthly decline. That’s according to a new report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket.

On a year-over-year basis, price growth slowed to 2.9%, the lowest rate recorded in Redfin Home Price Index (RHPI) data going back to 2012.

This is according to the Redfin Home Price Index (RHPI), which uses the repeat-sales pricing method to calculate seasonally adjusted changes in prices of single-family homes. The RHPI measures sale prices of homes that sold during a given period, and how those prices have changed since the last time those same homes sold.

The RHPI has only posted monthly declines on five occasions since 2012: August 2022, December 2022, and now May, June and July of this year.

Price growth has halted because the number of homes for sale has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels, while the number of buyers in the market has declined to the lowest level in more than a decade (excluding the peak of pandemic lockdowns in April 2020). Many would-be homebuyers are reluctant to move because prices are still near record highs, mortgage rates remain elevated and economic uncertainty persists.

“After several years of tight inventory driving relentless price growth, we’re now seeing the opposite dynamic,” said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari. “Home prices are falling in more U.S. metros than at any point since we began tracking this data in 2012, and the reason is simple: supply is significantly outpacing demand. If homeowners want to sell, they have to meet buyers where they are, which often means lowering prices. It’s a moment where patient, prepared buyers can find deals that simply weren’t possible a year ago.”

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

Home prices fell in 39 of the 50 most populous U.S. metro areas on a seasonally adjusted basis in July, month over month—the highest number of metros to post a monthly decline in RHPI records going back to 2012. The number surpassed the 38 recorded in September 2022, when skyrocketing mortgage rates froze price growth following a two-year buying frenzy.

The biggest decline in July was in West Palm Beach, FL (-2.6%), followed by San Diego (-2.2%) and Austin, TX (-1.9%). Prices increased most in Warren, MI (1.3% month over month), Newark, NJ (0.7%) and San Jose, CA (0.5%).

On a year-over-year basis, prices in New York (11.8%) rose the most, followed by Newark (9.3%) and Nassau County, NY (8.3%). Prices fell the most in Austin (-4.5% year over year), Tampa, FL (-4.2%) and Dallas (-2.6%).
