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.

Guild Mortgage Rolls out Promise of Home Homebuyer Readiness Fairs to Directly Equip Consumers With Homeownership Essentials

Guild Mortgage, a nationally recognized retail mortgage lender, has launched groundbreaking Homebuyer Readiness Fairs as part of its Promise of Home initiative to bring housing solutions into the hands of consumers nationwide.

Co-hosted alongside CBC Mortgage Agency (CBCMA), a federally charted Native American-owned housing finance agency, Homebuyer Readiness Fairs provide aspiring homeowners with face-to-face resources and targeted problem solving to combat homebuying hesitations and encourage action in one place. By gathering representatives and counselors from multiple housing agencies, with some events hosting as many as five different counseling agencies at a time, attendees benefit from personalized guidance and greater financial literacy to confidently embark on their next steps.

Designed as an innovative solution to bring the housing market ecosystem directly to communities, the Homebuyer Readiness Fairs aim to reduce barriers of entry to homeownership, as many consumers are first-time buyers or are among the first in their families to buy a home. Attendees leave the event empowered with a deeper understanding of the homebuying experience and programs that help them move and build equity faster.

Nora Guerra, Senior Vice President of Community Lending Solutions at Guild Mortgage, spearheads these events while lending her expertise in data analytics and market trends. Her goal is to provide solutions to affordability gaps across the country through functional partnerships with housing agency counselors.

“Our event serves as a launching pad for aspiring homeowners, so they can get tangible support to begin their homebuying journeys all in one place. The fairs allow them to interface with every possible support system and get their questions answered so they can start,” Guerra said. “After an event, one attendee said they now had every available resource to begin. We’re supporting aspiring homeowners directly and that’s why our work is so important. Our direct-to-consumer strategy is groundbreaking because Guild is providing buyers with avenues to improve financial literacy while shining a light on what’s available to them. It’s completely outside the box.”

The Homebuyer Readiness Fairs have generated widespread political support among mayors and members of Congress, demonstrating expanded housing equity is a priority for lawmakers across the country and throughout communities. Attendees have the chance to speak with Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) counselors and can also become pre-qualified on-site with income documentation, bank statements and a photo ID*. During the first Homebuyer Readiness Fair in South Carolina, many attendees left the event pre-qualified while others set up appointments with loan officers and counselors, emphasizing the event’s success and demand for affordable homeownership.

Through partnerships with grassroots organizations, support from political leaders and nationwide commitment to expanding housing equity, the Homebuyer Readiness Fairs and Community Lending Team at Guild Mortgage help more Americans secure paths to homeownership, one city at a time. The next Homebuyer Readiness Fair will take place Sept. 27 in Detroit.

* The items listed will not inhibit you from starting the loan process.
