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 Arvest Celebrate Opening of New Fayetteville Rental Community Helped by $850K Housing Grant

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas), Arvest Bank and Restore Hope Arkansas celebrated the grand opening of Cobblestone Farm Community, a new development of 89 rental homes, duplexes and triplexes in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The project was made possible in part by an $850,000 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grant awarded through FHLB Dallas and its member, Arvest Bank.

Cobblestone Farm Community offers rental homes for households earning between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The project received an $850,000 Affordable Housing Program grant awarded by FHLB Dallas through Arvest Bank.

Cobblestone Farm Community offers rental homes for households earning between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The project received an $850,000 Affordable Housing Program grant awarded by FHLB Dallas through Arvest Bank.

Cobblestone Farm Community offers one- to four-bedroom rental homes, duplexes and triplexes for households earning between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income. The community is fully leased. It was inspired by the neighboring Cobblestone Farms, a nonprofit that grows food for local food pantries and community partners. Future plans are to work with the farm to encourage access to a free community garden operated by the nonprofit.

“The AHP funds came at an important time in the life of this project because it was originally funded with tax credits during the pandemic and we know all the supply chain disruptions, labor costs and price spikes that occurred,” said Jim Petty, CEO of Strategic Realty, which worked with several community-based partners such as Potter’s House, New Heights Church, Excellerate Foundation and Restore Hope Arkansas to develop the community. “While the state was helpful in bridging gaps there was still a funding shortfall to fill and AHP helped fill that gap.”

AHP funds are awarded through FHLB Dallas member institutions, in this case Arvest Bank, and assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the median income for the area.

Arvest Group CRA Director Virgil Miller said the development will provide affordability in a region where rents and home prices have been a challenge.

“We think these homes will go a long way in helping families and individuals who are struggling with the high cost of housing in northwest Arkansas,” Mr. Miller said. “The support Cobblestone Farm Community received from FHLB Dallas was important in reaching today’s milestone.”

Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, said the AHP can be impactful for communities.

“Our AHP grants often come into play when an affordable housing development needs gap funding to reach completion, as was the case with Cobblestone Farm Community,” Mr. Hettrick said. “The AHP is often critical in filling this important funding gap.”

In 2024, FHLB Dallas awarded $1 million in AHP General Fund grants to Arkansas-based affordable housing projects, which was part of $78.9 million awarded across its five-state District. FHLB Dallas will announce 2025 grant awardees this fall. Learn more about the FHLB Dallas Affordable Housing Program.
