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.

Housing Stabilization Providers Report Impact Following Payment Suspensions

Housing Stabilization Providers Report Impact Following Payment Suspensions

Medicaid payment suspensions disrupt operations for Housing Stabilization providers and vulnerable clients in Minnesota.

Minneapolis, MN - September 8, 2025 - On August 1, 2025, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) suspended Medicaid payments to 77 Housing Stabilization Service providers. According to DHS investigator Ashley Stoupe, the suspensions were issued with no specified end date, creating uncertainty for providers and clients statewide.

Providers state that the suspensions followed data-mining reviews described as investigations. While the reviews functioned as audits, suspension notices did not cite specific allegations of fraud. Some agencies report that the loss of Medicaid funding forced them to reduce staff and services, creating challenges in continuing operations.

Home Care Staffing, one of the impacted providers, reported that its suspension notice was linked to a single case among its broader client base. The client later submitted a written statement confirming the accuracy of billing records and services received. Despite this, the agency reports due to immediate payment stop with no timeframe, this resulted in agency collapsing, relocating and laying off 32 staff and over 400 clients from this one agency. The prior announcement of statewide program shutdown, has left companies with an inability to rebuild themselves. Payment reinstatement has not yet been reinstated despite client attesting to correct billing for this specific agency.

Providers and advocates have expressed concern that service interruptions have left many disabled and homeless individuals without stable housing. Some individuals have been hospitalized following disruptions in care. DHS requires a 60-day waiting period before clients can transfer to new providers, leaving many without immediate alternatives.

Federal legal proceedings have been initiated by several providers, including Home Care Staffing. The proceedings relate to the suspension of Medicaid payments and involve managed care organizations such as Health Partners UCare and Hennepin Health. The case is under review regarding due process considerations.

“This situation has created significant challenges for both providers and the people they serve,” said Twyla Martin, spokesperson for Home Care Staffing. “Businesses have been disrupted, clients have been left in limbo, and there is uncertainty about the future.”
