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 Launches New Generative AI course and Hosts Webinar “Embracing the Future: Benefits and Uses of Generative AI”

By: via Business Wire

Virtual, free event features how AI can boost productivity, enhance content creation and support existing skills, highlighting higher education experts who developed new University course on Generative AI in Everyday Life

University of Phoenix is pleased to announce that it will host a webinar “Embracing the Future: Benefits and Uses of Generative AI” on Thursday, November 7, 12:00pm AZT (11:00am PT, 2:00pm ET). The event features University of Phoenix leaders Marc Booker, Ph.D., vice provost, Strategy; Mary Elizabeth Smith, M.Ed., director, Learning Innovation Strategy in the Center for Teaching and Learning; Tahnja Wilson, MBA, director, Faculty Training and Development in Academic Affairs; and Julie Cain, M.Ed., senior instructional designer, for a panel discussion focused on how generative AI can boost productivity, enhance content creation and support existing skills. The virtual event is free and open to the public.

“AI represents an enormous opportunity in how we approach and perceive learner experiences and how we structure content so that it is relevant to the workplace of today. As we follow the rapid evolution of AI, we must continuously provide upskilling activities and engage in lifelong learning so learners can stay competitive in the workforce,” states Booker. “We look forward to sharing insights about how workers and learners can leverage generative AI to gain competitive skills, the importance of durable skills, and practical steps for using generative AI in daily lives.”

The University of Phoenix’s 2024 Career Optimism Index® study found that workers are increasingly embracing AI in the workplace and see its potential to drive career advancement: 44% of workers think knowledge of how to use AI in their work is very or extremely valuable to their career or building their career. Additionally, those who currently use AI are already experiencing the benefits that AI has for their productivity and work-life balance with 85% saying that using AI to assist them in completing their work has improved their productivity, and 81% saying it has improved their work-life balance.

The webinar panel experts contributed to the planning and curriculum of a new, foundational course offered by University of Phoenix, Generative AI in Everyday Life, which equips learners with an understanding of generative AI technology, including hands-on experience with AI tools. In this five-week course learners can gain the following skills:

  • Creative Thinking: create original digital content using generative AI tools and adapt prompts to improve outputs
  • Ethical Reasoning: analyze the ethics, transparency, safety, and impact of generative AI tools and outputs
  • Lifelong Learning: describe generative AI and its applicability in everyday life.

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. He is the recipient of the 2024 UPCEA Operational Excellence Award and a 2024 American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) Thomas A. Bilger Award. In 2023, he was part of a leadership team named winners of the Catalyst Award for Teaching & Learning. Booker has been an employee of the University of Phoenix since 2001, previously serving multiple leadership roles including as vice president of Admissions and Evaluation at University of Phoenix.
