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.

University of Phoenix Successful Adoption of AHRQ Quality Indicators Toolkit Strengthens Nursing Coursework

University of Phoenix graduate nursing program uses the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ's) Quality Indicators (QI) Toolkit as a learning tool to help students better understand the quality improvement process and improve development of projects that enhance patient care. This is featured in an AHRQ impact case study.

The AHRQ QI Toolkit helps hospitals use AHRQ's Quality Indicators, which are standardized, evidence-based measures of health care quality. Hospitals can use these indicators to measure and track clinical performance and patient outcomes. The toolkit also provides general guidance on how to use quality improvement methods to develop a project in a hospital setting. Nursing students are using those methods for their practicum project.

“Using the AHRQ Quality Indicators Toolkit improves Master of Science in Nursing students' knowledge of the project development process, which will be helpful to them after they graduate and move into advanced nursing roles in both administration and education,” said Pamela S. Card, D.N.P., an instructor at the university.

University of Phoenix advanced studies programs in nursing, including the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), support working nurses who wish to advance their career using a flexible learning schedule and curriculum grounded in evidence-based practice. “The toolkit provides project development tools that assist the students with distinct parts of their quality improvement project, starting with the Stakeholder Analysis and Gap Analysis and moving into the Implementation Plan and Implementation Plan Measurement,” Dr. Card said.

Ryan Mills, an instructional designer at the university working with faculty to improve curriculum and student skill-building, said, "I discovered the AHRQ Quality Indicators Toolkit and immediately realized the value it would provide. It offers a means for students to work through each component of the project development process and see how each component relates to the whole process."

Since incorporating the AHRQ QI Toolkit into its MSN curriculum in early 2019, faculty report that student projects on topics such as falls prevention, cardiac care self-management, and urinary infection reduction have greatly improved. “The Quality Indicators' project development tools have helped students to break down and address specific aspects of their project, allowing them to go into greater detail,” said Dr. Card.

University of Phoenix online nursing degree programs are designed for the working adult student and are grounded in the theory and practice of contemporary nursing, including evidence-based practice; quality and patient safety; and leadership. Students can also expect an up-to-date curriculum, with experienced faculty and advisors.
