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.

New Affordable Community Residences Welcome LGBTQ U.S. Military Veterans to the Bronx

NEW YORK - November 9, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

To celebrate Veterans Day, My Brother's House and Stonewall Community Development Corporation announce that they have established the first of two new LGBTQ-welcoming residences for homeless veterans and their families in the Wakefield and Belmont neighborhoods of the Bronx.

In addition to stable, affordable housing, the nonprofits will offer faith-based counseling, benefits coordination, culturally competent support services to help residents recover from past traumas and rebuild their lives, and socialization opportunities with a vibrant LGBTQ older adult community.

Dr. Remolia Simpson, President and Founder of My Brother's House and an out Army veteran, founded the nonprofit in 2016 after a sibling returned from the military unable to find a home. She now operates residences in five states and the District of Columbia, with more opening soon.

"This arose out of my own personal experience, my own personal need to help my brother find a place to live," said Simpson.

The two nonprofits decided to create a sustainable and scalable model to develop LGBTQ-welcoming mentored homesharing for service-connected veterans in New York City that would also be suitable for older adults. My Brother's House identified two Bronx property owners eager to lease their multiple-unit dwellings. 

"We're working very closely with the homeowners to develop both of these properties for the use of older adult veterans and, if applicable, their families. I think they're both ideally suited and very centrally located," said Nathan James, Region I (PA/NY/NJ/New England) Director of My Brother's House.

Silvernest, a national home sharing platform for older adults will also be advising the project.  Amy Ford, VP of Strategic Partnerships & Business Development at Silvernest said, "We are happy to be supporting this project with our homesharing toolkit for best outcomes. We applaud Stonewall CDC for being open to home sharing as a viable solution to the housing crisis for older adults."

"We love what My Brother's House has been doing around the country. We see a need and we see an opportunity for this model in the City, building on a foundation of LGBTQ competency and support. Part of our job is to make sure the operation is sustainable as it scales,'' said Paul Nagle, Executive Director of Stonewall Community Development Corporation.

Dr. Simpson said, "We are very excited about the partnership. The most fragile population among veterans is seniors. We're not great at fundraising. But we are great at housing veterans. This is a good and major shift for us -- working with Stonewall CDC."

My Brother's House and Stonewall CDC offer a community-based approach to counter the housing discrimination LGBTQ veterans face. Over 40,000 homeless veterans lived in the U.S. in January 2017 -- nine percent of all homeless adults, according to federal statistics. LGBTQ homeless veterans face additional challenges including lack of family support networks and fear of discrimination and abuse. According to HUD data, from 2014 to 2019, homelessness declined for Vets, but this wasn't the case for gender non-conforming veterans and the prevalence of housing instability was nearly 3 times higher among transgender veterans than among cisgender veterans.

Simpson said, "We've had veterans who were not able to be housed because they've experienced absolute hatred from landlords when they found out about their situation, whether it be their sexual orientation, or their past. We just want everybody to be safe."
