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.

3 Ways to Tap the Equity in Your House

Sponsored Content: Your home has value, but it can be hard to access that money when you need it. Luckily, borrowing against the ownership in your home might be easy. 

How Much Equity Do I Have? 

As a homeowner, whether you've just made the down-payment or have been free of your mortgage for years, you own some percentage of your home. The goal of paying off your mortgage is to own 100% of the value of your house by the term's end. By no means, though, do you need even close to 100% equity ownership in your home to use it as collateral. 

Home Equity Loans 

Home equity loans are one-time, lump-sum secured loans also known as second mortgages. These loans allow you to access the equity you already have in your home through a cash payment, which is repaid in low-interest installments over a fixed term. Home equity loan rates from lenders like Discover® Home Loans tend to be substantially lower than interest rates for personal loans. 

Cash-Out Refinancing 

Cash-out refinancing means replacing your mortgage with a new mortgage, with some of your equity withdrawn as cash in the process. 

You might consider a cash-out refinance from Discover or another home lender to consolidate debt from one or more sources, to pay lower interest rates and/or lower monthly payments, or even to increase monthly payments to pay down your mortgage faster. 

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) 

HELOCs are secured lines of credit that provide homeowners access to funds up to a predetermined limit, during what is known as a "draw" period. These funds can be deposited into your account by wire or may have specialized checks and credit cards associated with them. HELOCs require you to make small interest payments during the draw period, which usually lasts up to 10 years. 

Once this draw period closes, a longer "repayment" period begins, usually lasting up to 20 years and traditionally set with variable interest rates—though fixed interest rates are becoming a more popular option. During this time, you can no longer access the line of credit, and will have to start paying off the debt balance plus any interest gained.
