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 Leadership Featured on WorkingNation Overheard

By: via Business Wire

At JFF Horizons, Dr. Kimberly Underwood discussed access to social capital for Black workers in the U.S.

Kimberly Underwood, Ph.D., MBA, chair, Center for Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Research (CWDIR) with the University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies, shared insights on social capital during an interview for WorkingNation Overheard, a video interview series listening in on conversations and discussions about employment and education taking place at major conferences around the country. The interview has received more than 25,000 views since June 8, 2022.

The interview was conducted during the annual Horizons conference held June 2022 by Jobs for the Future (JFF), a national nonprofit driving transformation in the American workforce and education systems. The JFF Horizons conference with this year’s theme, “See Beyond,” in New Orleans, LA., is an event for building community and collaboration for education and workplace systems to ultimately ensure equitable economic advancement for all. JFF and University of Phoenix Career Institute® earlier this year announced a partnership to support Black learners and workers in building professional social capital to advance their careers.

In the interview, Underwood reflected on the findings of the resulting in-depth market scan report, “Building Professional Social Capital for Black Learners and Workers,” which identified five key action and engagement-centered strategies that the most innovative social capital development programs must incorporate to build professional social capital for Black learners and workers.

“We're really looking at the value of social capital. And first and foremost, defining social capital and then the value of social capital for students of color – specifically, for Black students of color,” stated Underwood. “In thinking about social capital, what are those needs? What are those skills? What are those elements that help a person coming into higher education and making it into the workplace? What's needed besides content and besides the classes? What are those additional elements and those soft skills needed to be successful in the workplace and to get into the workplace?”

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 economic equity in the workforce.

“Higher education institutions need to do a better job of giving students access to social capital,” stated Underwood. “Practitioner-based programming, like what we provide at University of Phoenix, is one way to provide students with access to social capital, as these programs are often taught by faculty with extensive, hands-on experience within the workforce. This report offers a fuller picture of all the opportunities education institutions and employers have in order to create and support building social capital.”

Underwood and Michael Collins, vice president, JFF, presented the findings of this collaborative project in a related Horizons conference panel discussion on the explicit, strategic, and comprehensive professional social capital building strategies that can be ingrained into all education and workplace settings—especially in those settings that strive to break down barriers and accelerate opportunities for Black learners and workers.

WorkingNation is a nonprofit news organization dedicated to creating and distributing powerful stories about the nation’s current and future state of work that educate, inspire and connect people, seeking to drive decision makers to scale solutions that can produce and sustain a thriving workforce. Interviews with Horizons conference participants are available here through WorkingNation Overheard.
