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.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta Commits $11.7 Million to Multifamily Affordable Housing Projects

ATLANTA, Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBank Atlanta) is committing $11.7 million in grant funding to support the development of affordable multifamily rental housing across its district. Through the Multifamily Housing Bridge Fund (Bridge Fund), the Bank will provide up to $500,000 per project to help fill critical funding gaps caused by escalating construction costs and ensure that essential housing developments can move forward.

FHLBank Atlanta members and their community housing partners are invited to apply for Bridge Fund grants during the application period, starting today, September 15 through Friday, October 3. The program is designed to help projects already underway to close budget shortfalls and reach completion, creating more affordable rental homes for families.

Projects eligible for the Bridge Fund include multifamily and mixed-use rental housing initiatives that allocate 80% of the units for households earning up to 80% of the area median income (AMI). Projects must be at least 50% complete at the time of application and demonstrate a financing gap related to an increase in construction hard costs, such as construction materials and labor. Projects also must be in FHLBank Atlanta’s district, which includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

“Each year we offer multiple programs to address the various affordable housing and community development challenges across our district,” said Kirk Malmberg, President and CEO of FHLBank Atlanta. “In total, FHLBank Atlanta is contributing $120 million in grants in 2025, finishing the year with this important program to support local efforts to expand the availability of affordable rental housing.”

“When construction costs and interest rates initially rose, there became an increased need for funding to support the development of affordable housing,” said Tomeka Strickland, FHLBank Atlanta’s Senior Vice President and Director of Community Investment Services. “Because this need remains, we are reintroducing the Bridge Fund to help projects currently underway to reach the finish line and become affordable homes.”
