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 to Present at 2024 PESC Data Summit

Vice Provost of Strategy Marc Booker and Vice President of Information Technology Shannon Wilson are featured speakers for the event focused on collaborative data standardization

University of Phoenix is pleased to share that Marc Booker, Ph.D., Vice Provost of Strategy, and Vice President of Information Technology Shannon Wilson will be featured speakers at the 2024 Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council (PESC) Data Summit. The event, which will be held on October 16-17, 2024 in Garden Grove, CA, provides a platform for leaders in education, policy, and technology to explore emerging trends and innovations in data standards.

Dr. Booker will co-present the session “AI in the Standards Space: No Hallucinations Welcome!,” on Wednesday, October 16 at 3:30 p.m. PDT, and be a panelist for a general session on digital and micro-credentials on Thursday, October 17 at 10:30 a.m. PDT. Both discussions will cover the importance of data standards, and the foundational role data standards play in the use of AI to accelerate credential innovations and in creating more value for learners utilizing micro-credentials in an increasingly tech-driven world.

"The PESC Summit offers a unique opportunity to explore how data standards and new technologies can accelerate innovation in higher education,” shared Booker. “I look forward to both discussion on the intersection of AI, data, micro-credentials and how embracing standards are an essential component to delivering material value to learners in real-time while also protecting their privacy in an environment where the concept of what a sharable record of achievement should be is constantly evolving.”

Wilson will present “TechEQ: Mastering Results, Relationships, and Respect in the Digital Age” on Wednesday, October 16 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. In his discussion, Wilson will explore how emotional intelligence is revolutionizing the technology sector, can improve leadership effectiveness, team collaboration, and foster a culture of inclusion and innovation. Focused on the pillars of results, relationships and respect, he will share actionable tactics for leaders looking to master emotional intelligence.

"Emotional intelligence is at the core of successful leadership in today’s digital world," stated Wilson. “In the technology sector, where we are often focused on driving innovation, we also celebrate the role emotional intelligence plays in enhancing performance, collaboration, and mutual respect.”

Booker and Wilson presented at a national conference last year highlighting the strong collaborative efforts between academics and information technology at University of Phoenix. Their strategic insights have been instrumental in improving educational experiences for working adult students at the University, and through their commitment to excellence and innovation, they continue to drive noteworthy progress in the field.

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. Booker’s work in higher education has been recognized by several associations as he was the 2024 recipient of UPCEA’s Business and Operations award for operational excellence, was honored with a 2024 Thomas A. Bilger award for his service from the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO), and in 2020 Booker received a Hall of Fame recognition from Blackboard for his contributions in providing thought leadership and innovation in education.

Wilson is Vice President of Information Technology at the University of Phoenix, a role in which he is responsible for application engineering and all technology infrastructure, platforms, client services, network, and data center operations, including a combination of public/private cloud services, hybrid-cloud, and co-location hosting services. He has oversight of more than 15 Agile product teams. With over 25 years of experience managing and hiring for IT teams, his diverse background spans IT leadership, application engineering, hybrid-cloud infrastructure, public-private cloud services, business operations, marketing, project management, finance, financial analysis, budgeting and sales.
