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.

5 Reasons People Refinance Their Homes

Sponsored Content: Getting a refinance is similar to getting a purchase mortgage — it takes some work and often involves closing costs. Therefore, the homeowner should have a clear purpose to refinance. 

Here are 5 reasons why homeowners might refinance their homes. 

1. Save on Payments and Interest 

Rate-and-term refinancing involves getting a new loan the same size as the existing loan, but with a lower interest rate and paying the old loan off. 

As a result, the borrower reduces their monthly payments and saves money on interest. 

The refinance calculator from Discover® can help homeowners determine their savings from a rate-and-term refinance. 

2. Tap Equity for Cash 

A cash-out refinance lets borrowers convert their equity into cash. To do so, they take out a new mortgage larger than their existing one to pay off the existing one and pocket the remainder. 

For instance, a borrower might have $100,000 left on an original mortgage balance for a home valued at $200,000. They could get a $125,000 cash-out refinancing loan to pay off the old loan and tap into their available equity to pocket an extra $25,000. 

3. Reduce or Ditch Private Mortgage Insurance 

Lenders make borrowers pay private mortgage insurance (PMI) if they put down less than 20% when buying the home. But once they reach 20% equity, they could still be stuck with PMI. Refinancing to a new loan may free the borrower from PMI.  

4. Switching Loan Types 

Some homeowners start with adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARMs. These loans have a fixed interest rate for an introductory period of several years — however, when that period ends, the rate changes. 

If rates are rising, a borrower may refinance to a fixed-rate loan to lock in a lower rate before it's too late. 

5. Changing Loan Terms 

Borrowers can refinance to change their loan term length, depending on their financial goals. 

If they want to pay off the mortgage as soon as possible, they may refinance to a shorter-term loan, giving them a higher monthly payment but a lower interest rate.  

Or a homeowner may want to stretch their loan out over a longer term to get a lower monthly payment even if the rate is higher and they may pay more interest over the life of the loan.
