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.

FHLB Dallas and Bonvenu Bank awarded $117,068 in FHLB Dallas FORTIFIED Funds to West 30’s Redemption Company to help dozens of Louisiana residents to install new storm-resistant roofing. Another $314,647 was awarded to Christian Fellowship Family Worship Center to help additional homeowners.

The grants are funded by FHLB Dallas FORTIFIED Fund, which allocated $10 million this year for homeowners to receive up to $15,000 for roof replacements and up to $7,500 for new-construction roofs. All grants are distributed through FHLB Dallas financial institution members, including Bonvenu Bank.

“Together with FHLB Dallas, we are providing FORTIFIED roofs to homeowners in the New Orleans metro and Northshore communities,” said Michael Colston, vice president and community development officer at Bonvenu Bank. “This initiative helps residents protect their properties before severe weather strikes instead of reacting to damage afterward. Storm resilient homes are a key factor that help preserve family property and assist with building generational wealth.”

Bonvenu Bank worked with Christian Fellowship Family Worship Center and West 30’s Redemption Company to identify homeowners in need. Watch a video showing FORTIFIED roofs being installed in Violet and Covington, Louisiana.

Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, noted the fund’s growing popularity since it launched in 2023 with an initial $1.75 million allocation.

“Disasters may strike in an instant, but recovery can take extraordinary amounts of time and money,” he said. “That’s why we’re committed to providing a solution that protects property before the next storm. Our FHLB Dallas FORTIFIED Fund grants have been extremely popular in areas of our District impacted by hurricanes and other severe weather.”

FORTIFIED, developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), is a voluntary program to strengthen homes against severe weather. Visit the FHLB Dallas FORTIFIED Fund to learn more about eligibility requirements and application information.
