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 Announces Innovative Alliance With Credly Using Skills-Tagging to Generate and Verify Career-Relevant Digital Credentials for Students

By: via Business Wire

Innovative process designed by the institution helps learners Career with Confidence™

University of Phoenix and digital credentialing leader Credly have teamed up to offer skills-aligned digital badging and credentialing that allows students to quickly access and share their skills acquisition on digital platforms. This agreement strengthens the work University of Phoenix has already done in collaboration with labor analytics company EMSI Burning Glass to help ensure career-ready curriculum for the University's students.

Digital badges are an increasingly popular and accessible method across higher education for learners to showcase verified skills, specialization, ability, learning experiences, and achievements. While the University has focused on career-relevant curriculum and skills since its founding in 1976, teaming up with Credly has created a new way for learners to share those skills. Through Credly’s digital credential platform, which includes the ability to share to the blockchain, badges are verified and backed by data that confirm the credential for learners and employers.

“Individuals are better able to realize their full potential in the labor market when they can easily present trusted, real-time evidence of their skills and abilities,” says Jonathan Finkelstein, CEO of Credly. “By helping learners and employers speak a common language around skills, the University of Phoenix is advancing the vision of a world where opportunities connect with skilled talent – equitably, efficiently, and at scale.”

More than 2000 organizations use Credly and since its inception, Credly has issued over 50 million professional credentials to more than 25 million people, making it the world’s largest professional credentialing marketplace.

“The University’s innovative, seamless process of tying skills-aligned program content to digital credentialing empowers learners. We are bridging the gap between what a student learns in the classroom and the workplace by aligning degrees and individual courses to skills employers want,” states John Woods, Ph.D., provost and chief academic officer. “We are proud to work with Credly and appreciate our highly collaborative relationship and the tools and resources Credly has provided. Our students now have the means to transform knowledge, skills, and achievements into verifiable digital credentials that allow them to Career with Confidence™.”

Digital badging at University of Phoenix is the culmination of a skill-mapping process in program and curriculum development. The University began its digital badging initiative by first mapping skills, working with labor market researchers including Emsi Burning Glass, and expert faculty in their fields, to identify and embed employer sought-after skills into curriculum outcomes. The skills and progress are made visible to students’ through their profile dashboard. With the digital badging agreement in place, students can display skills across multiple methods including resumes, social media and digital platforms as proof of learning for potential employers, current employers and colleagues.
