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.

Total Mortgage Launches “From Lease to Keys” Program to Help First-Time Home Buyers With Closing Costs

08/19/2025, Milford, CT // PRODIGY: Feature Story //

Total Mortgage has officially launched its Lease to Keys program nationwide, offering qualifying first-time home buyers up to $2,500 in closing cost assistance. Located in Milford, Connecticut, the company is helping renters nationwide overcome one of the hardest parts of buying a home: upfront costs.

“For almost 30 years, Total Mortgage has strived to deliver innovative and customer-focused solutions in our communities. The Lease to Keys initiative reflects our focus on making homeownership more accessible for those buying a home for the first time by easing the financial transition for renters,” Christopher Affinito, Chief Revenue Officer at Total Mortgage, said.

Founded in 1997, Total Mortgage is a nationally recognized lender dedicated to making the path to homeownership clear, accessible, and affordable.

Eligible buyers can first secure a mortgage pre-approval and then present records of their current rent obligation. Once qualified, these applicants may receive a credit equal to one month’s rent, up to $2,500, applied directly to closing costs, cutting the cash required at the closing table. This support tackles one of the biggest financial hurdles, while Total Mortgage’s affordable homeownership options and competitive mortgage rates create a straightforward path from renting to owning.

Available through a nationwide network of licensed loan officers, the program pairs local market knowledge with the resources of a nationally recognized lender. Customers can also access guidance on mortgage APR (annual percentage rate), which represents the total yearly cost of a mortgage, including the interest rate and additional fees such as loan origination charges, discount points, and certain closing costs.

Unlike the interest rate alone, the APR provides a more complete picture of the actual cost of borrowing, allowing home buyers to make accurate comparisons between loan offers. Understanding mortgage APR helps renters-turned-buyers avoid surprise fees, select the most cost-effective financing option, and make informed decisions as they explore various first-time home buyer resources. In addition, participants receive personalized help for renters seeking to enter the housing market.

Since 1997, the Total Mortgage team has guided thousands of buyers with transparent loan options, including the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, which delivers stable monthly payments for the entire term. The 7/1 adjustable-rate mortgage offers a fixed rate for the first seven years before adjusting annually, giving buyers initial payment stability with future flexibility. With mortgage rates, favorable terms, and a streamlined path from pre-approval to closing, the company combines national reach with local expertise to make homeownership a reality.

To further empower first-time buyers, Total Mortgage offers free interactive mortgage calculators on its website. These tools help prospective homeowners map out finances before applying for Lease to Keys, clarifying affordability and expected monthly costs to make homeownership transparent and manageable. The calculators let users compare loan scenarios side by side, factoring in down payments, interest rates, and terms to choose the best fit for their long-term goals.

The Lease to Keys program doesn’t just help renters buy homes; it redefines the path of homeownership programs, converting rent into closing-cost fuel that launches buyers across the threshold into a future they can truly call their own.
