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 Presents at CBExchange Conference

Marc Booker, Ph.D., and Justin Hallock discuss strategies for successful implementation of competency-based education programs

University of Phoenix is pleased to share that Vice Provost of Strategy, Marc Booker, and Senior Director of Change Management, Justin Hallock, presented an insightful talk at the recently concluded Competency-Based Education Network (CBEN) CBExchange Conference held October 3-6 in Amelia Island, FL. The presentation, titled "Using Agile and Change Management to Create Sustainable CBE Programs," highlighted the University's remarkable success in implementing competency-based education (CBE) programs that are not only flexible but also sustainable.

In this forward-thinking session, University of Phoenix leaders showcased the design and implementation of their CBE programs. Recognizing the need for a deliberate and strategic approach, the University employed agile methodologies and change management principles to ensure that their CBE programs could adapt to changing conditions and policies while consistently delivering value to students and faculty.

Key highlights from the presentation included the achievement of graduate-level CBE programs that could be completed in less than a year for under $11,000. Moreover, earlier this year the University proudly celebrated the graduation of over 1,000 students within just under three years from the inception of its first cohort. These remarkable outcomes are a testament to the dedication and innovative spirit of the University of Phoenix.

Marc Booker, Vice Provost of Strategy at the University of Phoenix, expressed his enthusiasm for the University's approach, saying, "Our commitment to agile methodologies and change management principles has allowed us to create CBE programs that are truly transformative. We are proud of the exceptional value we offer to our students, and we look forward to sharing our strategies with other thought leaders in the educational community."

Justin Hallock, Senior Director of Change Management at the University of Phoenix, added, "The University's dedication to embracing change and innovation has been instrumental in our success. Our experience in CBE program development is a testament to the power of adaptability and the pursuit of excellence."

Since 2009, Booker has been a regular speaker, contributor, and subject matter expert at national and regional conferences for AACRAO, PACRAO, The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, EDUCAUSE, and Anthology Together, sharing insight on various topics including leadership, process improvement, change management, prior learning assessment, transfer credit, and articulation.

As Vice Provost for Strategy at the University of Phoenix, Booker oversees critical path academic initiatives to improve the student experience such as learning platform implementations, curricular enhancements, and developing empathetic solutions to drive improved student outcomes through data. In 2020, Booker received a Hall of Fame recognition from Blackboard for his contributions in providing thought leadership and innovation in education.

A veteran of University of Phoenix or 25 years, Hallock is a Senior Director of Change Management and Prosci Certified Change Practitioner. Since the inception of CBE at University of Phoenix in 2020, Justin has supported the growth of 4 credit-based programs and, recently, 3 direct assessment programs, with the credit-based programs exceeding 1,000 graduates within the first 3 years of offering. In addition to his experience supporting CBE programs, Hallock has experience leading LMS transitions, HR system implementations, and legal and regulatory initiatives for the institution. Before his current role, Hallock served in leadership roles for the University’s local campus locations in Florida and various Board of Director roles in the Central Florida community.
