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.

Optimum Bank Partners with Habitat for Humanity of Broward to Provide Zero Interest Mortgage Loans to Six Local Families

By: Newsfile

A Strategic Initiative to Empower Families and Strengthen Communities

Fort Lauderdale, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2025) - OptimumBank (NYSE American: OPHC) proudly announces a new partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Broward to provide zero interest mortgage loans to six families facing housing affordability challenges. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to affordable housing, promoting financial security, and strengthening communities in Broward County.

Creating Opportunities Through Homeownership

With housing costs on the rise, many hardworking families striving for homeownership are left with few options. By eliminating interest payments, Optimum Bank's zero interest mortgage loans help bridge that gap, making homeownership more attainable and sustainable.

The program also includes post-closing education and financial skills training, equipping each family to manage their new responsibilities with confidence and build lasting stability.

"Optimum Bank is honored to partner with Habitat for Humanity," said Tim Terry, President and CEO of Optimum Bank. "Homeownership is a cornerstone of economic empowerment. We're proud to support families on their journey to brighter, more secure futures."

Impacting Six Families and Future Generations

Six families have been selected through Habitat Broward's thorough screening process. These families will move into safe, affordable homes located in vibrant neighborhoods, creating a pathway to long-term well-being and generational progress.

This opportunity represents a turning point, allowing families facing housing affordability challenges to escape the cycle of renting and build equity for the future.

A Replicable Model for Sustainable Progress

Habitat for Humanity has a proven track record of delivering innovative, community-driven housing solutions. This partnership with Optimum Bank adds a new dimension by combining financial resources with shared values.

"At Habitat for Humanity, our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live," said Nancy Robin, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Broward. "Through the generous support of Optimum Bank, these six families will attain more than just a home—they will gain the security, stability, and opportunities associated with homeownership. In addition, this infusion of funding allows us to re-invest our funds into the next project immediately."

Community Involvement Matters

This initiative invites the wider community, including volunteers, businesses, and donors, to play an active role in turning these houses into homes.

The partnership serves as a model for how private companies and nonprofit organizations can join forces to tackle urgent challenges and deliver meaningful, measurable outcomes. Optimum Bank encourages other companies to explore similar initiatives that create lasting social impact.
