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.

Should You Refinance to a Longer Mortgage?

Sponsored Content: Refinancing to a longer mortgage can be a great option for homeowners who want to lower their monthly payments and tap into their home’s equity.

Here’s what you need to know about the pros and cons of a mortgage refinance from Discover® or another lender, so you can make the best decision for your financial future.

Pro: Make lower monthly payments

Refinancing will lengthen your loan term. With the loan spread out over a longer period of time, you can make lower monthly payments and free up cash to spend, save, or invest back into your home.

Pro: Pull cash from your equity

If you have equity in your home, you might consider a cash-out refinance that allows you to refinance your loan and take cash out from your home equity all at once. This can increase the amount you’ll owe over time, but it also allows you to have money on hand.

Pro: Eliminate private mortgage insurance

If you initially made a down payment on the purchase of your home that covered less than 20% of your loan, you are likely required to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI) each month. Whether or not you choose to refinance, when you find out that you’ve reached 20% equity in your home, you can ask your lender to cancel your PMI.

Con: Owe more in interest

If you refinance to a longer mortgage term, you’ll be paying off your loan for a greater amount of time. While your monthly payments will be lower, you’ll owe more in interest over the lifetime of your mortgage.

Con: Pay closing costs

Since you’re creating an entirely new mortgage, you’ll have to close on your home again. That means you’ll have to pay closing costs like legal, appraisal, and origination fees. Discover Home Loans offers mortgage refinancing with zero origination fees, zero appraisal fees, and zero cash due at closing.

When does it make sense to refinance to a longer mortgage?

Refinancing to a longer mortgage can help you lower your monthly payments and create more favorable loan terms. If interest rates are low and your home equity has increased, refinancing can help you improve your financial situation and have some more money on hand. But, refinancing isn’t the right decision for every homeowner.

Just remember to consider your current mortgage terms, financial needs, and refinancing options so you can make the best choice.
