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.

Empower(ed) to Power Up: Whitestone launches the Generator Giveaway to Support Houston Homeowners

Whitestone Developments and Empower CDC partner with EcoFlow and TRT to deliver energy resilience through whole-home generator systems

(PRUnderground) May 5th, 2025

In an effort to build stronger, more resilient neighborhoods, Whitestone Developments a subsidiary of Empower Community Development Corporation (Empower CDC), are proud to announce the Empower(ed) to Power Up: Generator Giveaway, a community-centered initiative designed to support Houston homeowners facing energy instability, especially during extreme weather events.

This giveaway is made possible through a partnership with EcoFlow, a global leader in eco-friendly energy solutions, and The Restoration Team, (TRT) a valued community partner. Together, they are supplying advanced EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra systems—whole-home backup generators designed to withstand prolonged outages while supporting daily energy needs.

Resilience Rooted in Experience

The initiative builds on lessons learned from outages during Hurricane Beryl in 2024, and Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, when a statewide blackout brought Houston to a standstill. It was the city’s second complete power outage since Hurricane Alicia in 1983. In response, Whitestone Developments, together with Kimberly Lane Properties, became the first developers in the state of Texas to integrate EcoFlow whole-home back up systems in every new construction home they build setting a precedent for sustainable housing innovation.

Driven by Mission, Backed by Impact

Whitestone Developments operates with a mission to create exceptional spaces that inspire and enrich lives. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Empower CDC, Whitestone is committed to building vibrant, sustainable communities that leave a legacy of lasting value. Empower CDC focuses on assisting ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, but Employed), senior, and cost-burdened households by providing access to quality housing and tools to help them thrive.

“Generators aren’t just a convenience anymore—they’re a lifeline,” said Will Merrick, the CEO of Whitestone Developments/ Empower CDC. “With more frequent weather disruptions, we’re proud to help homeowners prepare, adapt, and remain secure.”

EcoFlow: Energy Where It’s Needed Most

“Natural disasters don’t discriminate—they can affect anyone, anywhere, at any moment,” said Brian Essenmacher, Head of Business Development, N.A. EcoFlow. EcoFlow recognizes the value of resilience and community in these moments. We’re excited that our contribution to Whitestone will help families keep their lights on during and after outages caused by extreme weather.”

EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro Ultra in it’s most basic assembly can power a  home’s most needed components for up to three days, making it a vital safeguard for vulnerable communities. The company’s commitment to clean, reliable energy reflects its mission to democratize access to power through strategic partnerships and community investment.

Through its robust Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, EcoFlow continues to champion equitable access to renewable energy, especially in disaster-prone regions like Texas.
