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.

JFF and University of Phoenix Career Institute™ Work Together to Drive Equitable Economic Advancement for Black Learners and Workers

By: via Business Wire

New research on the role of social capital in economic advancement will inform a strategic framework for higher education institutions and employers to better support career advancement

JFF, a national nonprofit driving transformation in the American workforce and education systems, today announced an alliance with University of Phoenix Career Institute to aid Black learners and workers in bridging professional social capital gaps to advance their careers. With funding from University of Phoenix, JFF will conduct in-depth research, analyzing existing strategies for the development of social capital that are being implemented by higher education institutions and employers. This work will inform the creation of an evidence-based, actionable framework and raise awareness about the role of professional social capital in economic advancement.

Professional social capital, which refers to the resources that arise from a person’s network of relationships that can help mobilize and advance education and career goals, is a crucial element in establishing racial equity in the workforce and career pathways. In addition to raising awareness, the framework developed by JFF and University of Phoenix will shape more expansive strategies to support Black learners and workers in forming strong professional networks that increase access to career navigation tools and quality information, cultivate meaningful relationships with champions and sponsors in the workplace and result in lifelong networks that lead to equitable employment and career advancement. JFF will also establish an advisory council of leaders focused on professional social capital that includes Black learners and workers who will lend their perspective to the framework and provide crucial insights on the best practices for sharing the organizations’ research findings with the broader field.

“We were inspired to start solving for this issue after our 2021 Career Optimism Index™ study found that nearly half of American workers do not have someone in their professional life who advocates for them,” said John Woods, Provost and Chief Academic Officer for the University of Phoenix and Executive Director for the University of Phoenix Career Institute. “And despite recent gains in attainment, far too few Black workers are able to fully leverage the economic power that comes from completing a postsecondary credential. This is a challenge we are closely tracking as we develop the 2022 Career Optimism Index™, and we look forward to working with JFF to address this disparity head-on.”

This collaboration marks the first major alliance for University of Phoenix Career Institute, which was founded in 2021 to address broad, persistent and systemic barriers to career advancement through research-based solutions and impactful partnerships that break down barriers Americans face in their careers. In 2021, the Institute launched its first annual Career Optimism Index™ study, a comprehensive study of American workers’ career perceptions, sentiments and optimism, identifying what barriers stand between Americans and their careers and the tools and resources needed to overcome them.

“Black learners have made extraordinary strides in postsecondary enrollment and completion. Yet, a disproportionate number of people do not have access to networks and relationships that help make connections to professional opportunities, explore interests, and assess career options – in other words, professional social capital,” said Michael Collins, Vice President at JFF. “We look forward to working with the University of Phoenix because of our shared interest in developing professional social capital for Black learners and workers, and we are optimistic about the awareness and momentum this will create in advancing careers.”
