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 College of Doctoral Studies Faculty Publish Framework on Graduate Employability in Online Education Doctorate Programs

Conducted by scholars in the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research, the new framework for employability recommends partnerships between educators and employers in developing curricula to bridge industry specific skills gaps

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies scholars in the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR), published a framework for employability of education doctorate programs resulting in Ed.D. credentials, based on a study examining the experience of the College’s education doctorate students and alumni. The framework was published as an article, “A Framework to Enhance Graduate Employability,” in the publication, International Journal of Doctoral Studies, by authors Louise Underdahl, Ph.D., Patricia Akojie, Ph.D., Myrene A. Magabo, D.Comm., Rheanna Reed, D.M., Shawishi Haynes, Ed.D., Maureen Marzano, Ph.D., MBA, Mar Narvarro, Ph.D., and Margo Patterson, MD, DNP-C.

“This study is an excellent example of how our practitioner scholars conduct research that can help solve real-world issues surrounding employability in the current workplace,” states Mansureh Kebritchi, Ph.D., chair of CEITR and faculty with the College of Doctoral Studies. “Continuing research can build on these findings to explore opportunities to synthesize discipline-specific skills with generic ones that help individuals succeed in the workplace.”

Alignment of academic curricula and employer needs is widely discussed yet implementation lags. With the approach that research on Ed.D. curricula has universality for other academic programs and may prompt academic innovation to promote employability in other disciplines, the authors conducted a mixed method study of current Doctor of Education (EdD) students and employers of Doctor of Education (EdD) graduates commenting on the alignment of the EdD curriculum with industry-specific needs.

The study findings indicate that educators and employers partnering on developing curricula can bridge industry specific skills gaps as well as enhance students’ understanding of the professional workplace and capacity to communicate, be empathetic, and solve problems.

The study informed a framework for this partnership between educators and employers, with recommendations for practitioners, in education and in the workplace, as well as researchers.

“Our study contributes evidence-based data on how to strengthen the career relevance of academic programs,” Underdahl states. “The value in this is simple – improving graduate employability creates positive outcomes for all involved.”

The published article is available online at International Journal of Doctoral Studies.
